Overview
- ChargePoint introduced the Express Solo DC fast charger, rated up to 600 kW per vehicle, and claims it is the fastest standalone unit on the market.
- The single-cabinet hardware fits space‑constrained urban locations and claims about 40% higher power density than typical DC fast chargers.
- The unit can charge two cars at once with dynamic power sharing up to 600 kW and can expand to four ports now with support for eight planned.
- Omni Port offers both NACS and CCS connectors, while direct DC inputs enable pairing with on‑site batteries or solar and support bidirectional charging within an Eaton-backed Express Grid platform to simplify power infrastructure and cut installation costs.
- Few current EVs can accept 600 kW, so the near-term benefit is higher throughput at busy sites rather than five‑minute stops, with sales planned for North America and Europe.
