Italian charging system manufacturer Alpitronic has officially introduced the HYC1000, the company’s first megawatt charger. As stated by the manufacturer, the HYC1000 is a distributed charging system designed to maximize the utilization of power electronics. It completes Alpitronic’s EV DC charging portfolio, offering a flexible solution for a wide range of charging needs, from multi-port charging for passenger cars and trucks with CCS/NACS to MCS charging for long-haul trucks.

With its modular, compact design, the HYC1000 ensures a smaller footprint, and increased charging capacity, compared to the existing charging solutions for heavy-duty vehicles. Some key features are: up to 1 MW charge on a single connector, simultaneous charging of up to 8 vehicles, modular and compact design, output range from 150 V to 1000 V.

Alpitronic’s first megawatt charger to be delivered from July, 2025. The system can be ordered with both CCS and MCS plugs. Just like for other charging system manufacturers engaged in MCS, Alpitronic separated the power modules from the charging station itself, which becomes a sort of satellite of the central unit. According to Alpitronic, the first deliveries are expected in July, 2025.

As we move towards an electrified future, charging infrastructure must evolve to meet the needs of different fleets and high-performance applications. This innovative system offers significant advantages in terms of power utilisation, efficiency and flexibility, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of DC fast charging locations,” commented Philipp Senoner, CEO of Alpitronic.
