Intelligent power management company Eaton, together with ChargePoint, a leading EV charging provider, today announced an ultra-fast charging infrastructure solution, providing end-to-end energy infrastructure for public fast charging and fleets. ChargePoint Express Grid, powered by Eaton, is a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) solution that delivers up to 600 kW of power to electric vehicles and high-power charging for heavy-duty commercial applications.

The innovative integration of ChargePoints Express chargers with Eaton's end-to-end EV charging solutions offers a powerful approach to overcoming grid limitations and addressing the challenge of cost-effectively scaling charging for the growing number of EVs. By leveraging Eaton's Everything as a Grid approach and integrated V2X capabilities, the system seamlessly synchronizes local renewable energy sources, energy storage, and vehicle batteries with local energy markets, enabling fleets to significantly reduce fuel costs. When deployed at scale in partnership with participating utilities, the joint architecture can even help balance the grid.

To accelerate electrification at scale, we need industry-changing technology from trusted manufacturers. This technology can be deployed faster while achieving new levels of reliability and efficiency at significantly lower costs, said Paul Ryan, vice president and general manager of energy transition at Eaton. “Our partnership with ChargePoint is accelerating innovation in electrification, delivering breakthrough technology today and for the future, making driving electric the smart choice.”

“The new ChargePoint Express architecture, and specifically the Express Grid variant, will bring DC fast charging to previously unimaginable performance and cost levels. This latest technological breakthrough further underscores our commitment to innovation,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “Combined with Eaton’s end-to-end energy solutions, ChargePoint offers solutions that enable electric vehicles to win out on the economic side, regardless of tax breaks or government subsidies.”

Eaton will custom-design each Express configuration with a comprehensive power infrastructure ready for on-site installation. A skid-mounted solution is also available to accelerate installation, reduce installation requirements, and simplify connection to the grid and distributed energy resources (DERs). Furthermore, Eaton plans to commercialize solid-state transformer technology next year through its recent acquisition of Resilient Power Systems Inc. to support DC applications in the EV market and beyond.

The ChargePoint Express Grid, powered by Eaton, will debut at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas, where Eaton will demonstrate its broad capabilities to advance electrification and the energy transition at Booth #V8071. Additionally, Luiz Huet de Bacellar, Eaton's vice president of engineering and technology, will discuss how DC microgrids work and Eaton's work to improve safety standards for DC technologies.
