As the DC fast charging market matures, it’s becoming apparent that distributed charging systems are best for some applications, while all-in-one chargers are the best fit for others. EVSE manufacturer Alpitronic offers both options.
In 2025, Alpitronic unveiled its HYC1000 distributed charging system, which features a Power Cabinet with eight 125 kW Power Stacks that deliver a total charging power of up to one megawatt. The system can distribute this power in 62.5 kW increments to as many as eight outputs. Alpitronic now specifies the efficiency of the Power Cabinet at up to 98.2 percent, an improvement over the original quote of 97.5 percent.
The Power Cabinet was originally launched with three dispenser options:
- The MCS Dispenser has an MCS plug (maximum 1,500 A, 1,000 kW) and an optional CCS plug (600 A, 600 kW).
- The HP Dispenser has a CCS plug (1,000 A, 1,000 kW).
- The EV Dispenser offers up to two CCS plugs (600 A, 600 kW).
Now Alpitronic has added the new Depot Dispenser, specifically designed for charging e-bus and e-truck fleets at depots, to its lineup.
The Depot Dispenser features a compact housing measuring 600 × 400 × 250 mm. Depending on the configuration, this dispenser weighs up to 35 kg, excluding the charging cable. It can be wall-mounted, pedestal-mounted, or installed on a crossbeam or under the depot ceiling. The charging cable is available in lengths of 2.0, 5.5, and 7.5 m. (The extra-long cable is suitable for overhead mounts.)
The Depot Dispenser features a CCS connector and operates at voltages ranging from 150 to 1,000 V. Alpitronic specifies a peak current of 400 A, enabling the stated 400 kW—though this is only achievable with vehicles operating near 1,000 V. This places the Depot Dispenser on par with the uncooled cable of the EV Dispenser, which also supports 400 A.
For the Depot Dispenser, Alpitronic has omitted the touchscreen commonly found on its larger charging stations. Instead, a status LED indicates charging status. Authentication is provided via RFID. Optional card readers and a QR code reader allow operators to enable charging for both their own fleets and for guest vehicles. A legally compliant DC meter is also offered as an option.
The Depot Dispenser will initially launch in Europe, and other markets will follow.
“With the Depot Dispenser, we address the specific requirements of a depot,” says Philipp Senoner, CEO of Alpitronic. “For fleet operators, the focus is not on providing the maximum possible power at every charging point. What matters is charging vehicles reliably, economically, and in line with their operational and dwell times. This is exactly the flexibility we provide with our charging portfolio.”
