ChargePoint, a provider of networked charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), recently announced a generational leap in AC Level 2 charging technology.
The new product architecture will feature innovations such as bidirectional charging and speeds up to double that of a typical AC Level 2 charger. This architecture will underpin models sold across North America and Europe, with variants designed for commercial, residential, and fleet applications.
“ChargePoint’s next generation of EV chargers will be revolutionary, not evolutionary,” said Hossein Kazemi, chief technical officer of hardware at ChargePoint. “The architecture underpinning them enables highly anticipated technologies which will deliver a significantly better experience for station owners and the EV drivers who charge with them.”
Features of ChargePoint’s new AC Level 2 architecture include:
Vehicle-to-everything capability enables an EV to deliver energy as a zero-emissions generator for homes and commercial buildings or to transfer energy back to the grid.
Ultra-fast charging at the maximum speed possible: 19.2 kW (80A single-phase, North America) or 22 kW (32A 3-phase, Europe), charging a typical EV battery from 0–100% in about four hours.
Dynamic load balancing automatically accelerates the charging speed when power is not needed elsewhere in the building.
Smart home compatibilities to integrate with solar charging, home batteries, and smart energy management systems.
Series-wiring capability enables a fleet depot, a multifamily housing garage, or even a single-family home with two EVs to maximize charging without costly service upgrades.
ChargePoint Omni Port enables North American EVs to be charged with any of the most common connector types from a single charging station.
The new architecture arises from ChargePoint’s nearly two decades of industry contributions to designing and deploying innovative charging stations, with an estimated 61% of public AC Level 2 market share in the USA based on data published by the Alternative Fuels Data Center.
The architecture will comply with applicable regulations and programs, including MID and Eichrecht in Europe and Energy Star in the U.S.
The first models built on the platform will arrive in Europe this summer and North America at the end of 2025.
ChargePoint and OBE Power plan to deploy about 2,500 EV charging ports at multifamily residential properties across North America beginning in 2026.
