Distributed charging system
Kempower Power Unit
The heart of the Kempower Distributed Charging System
A modular and scalable DC fast-charging Power Unit for powering Kempower Satellites, Pantographs or Control Units.
Coupled together with the charging dispenser it creates a charging solution for every need, for electric cars, electric commercial vehicles and electric off-highway vehicles.
Kempower’s dynamic power management solution enables a unique way of delivering power across all connected charging points based on the EV’s demand.
The modular design allows for easy power upgrades and provides operational redundancy, making the Kempower Power Unit a future-proof and reliable charging solution.
Kempower Satellite
The most advanced DC fast-charging dispenser on the market
Kempower Satellite is renowned for its user-friendly interface, making it the industry’s most desired DC fast-charging dispenser. With its small footprint, customizable 7” touchscreen and unique cable support system, Kempower Satellite stands out from the competition.
Coupled together with a Kempower Power Unit or Station Charger, it makes for the most compact and user-centric DC fast-charging dispenser available.
Kempower Liquid-Cooled Satellite
Distributed charging for heavy electric commercial vehicles
The Kempower Liquid-Cooled Satellite provides high-end, high-power DC fast charging at service stations and heavy commercial charging for electric semi-trucks, trucks, and other heavy electric vehicles at distribution centers and depots.
In the last years, battery capacities have increased, making fast EV charging essential. The Kempower Liquid-Cooled Satellite delivers 500 A, reaching 400 kW or more, surpassing CharIN HPC350 standards.
Paired with a 600 kW triple-cabinet Kempower Power Unit, it is able to reduce charging times for long-haul trucks, heavy vehicles, and high-end EVs.
Kempower Mega Satellite
Powering clean transportation
Based on Kempower’s state-of-the-art technology, the first version of Kempower Megawatt Charging System comes with a peak power of 1.2 MW and the Kempower Mega Satellite. This ensures maximum compatibility in the form of either a high-power combined charging system (CCS) plug or a megawatt charging system (MCS) plug. The Kempower Megawatt Charging System’s MCS and CCS outputs can be in the same system for maximal flexibility. Unused power can be distributed among several outputs through dynamic power sharing.
Kempower Control Unit
Versatile solution for all charging needs
The Kempower Control Unit with a CCS2 cable is the optimal solution for depot and off-highway charging where a robust and simplified dispenser is required.
The Kempower Control Unit, available with charging cables of 5, 7 or 10 meters, is suitable for various applications. It is especially beneficial in harsh conditions, such as a fenced depot area, where a touchscreen offers no additional value. The sleek industrial casing of the Control Unit is particularly advantageous in these environments.
The Control Unit can be mounted in various locations, including walls, truss structures, bollards and even in underground solutions.
Kempower Cable Arm
Lightweight cable management solution
The system delivers up to 600 kW, depending on the Power Unit version. A single Power Unit supports up to 8 DC outputs at 800 VDC or 6 outputs in adaptive systems covering 400 VDC and 800 VDC charging.
