The Europe-wide HPC joint venture Ionity has announced the deployment of the newly introduced HYC1000 chargers from Alpitronic for its network as the first Charge Point Operator (CPO). The megawatt charging systems distribute power via a central power cabinet to up to four columns, each with two charging points. This enables the simultaneous charging of up to eight electric vehicles with dynamic power distribution to the individual charging points—or the charging of a single vehicle with up to 600
kW. Compatible vehicles can thus charge a range of up to 300 kilometers in less than eight minutes, according to the promise. With this, the Munich-based company aims to set the standard in charging speed and technology.
The Alpitronic HYC1000 charging systems were first introduced on February 14, 2025, in Bolzano (Italy) and are considered the next generation of fast-charging technology.
The CPO plans to roll out these state-of-the-art chargers comprehensively in its network from the second half of 2025. In advance, the HYC1000 hardware will already be extensively validated from May at the test site in Unterschleißheim near Munich.
“With the HYC1000 charging systems, we offer our customers one of the fastest and most advanced charging technologies currently available on the market,” says Jeroen van Tilburg, CEO of Ionity. “This allows us not only to keep pace with innovation
— we lead it and shape the infrastructure of tomorrow. The new megawatt charging systems are a significant milestone in our journey to enable ultra-fast and convenient charging of electric cars across Europe.”
Philipp Senoner, CEO of Alpitronic, points out that the HYC1000 charging systems combine megawatt-level power with intelligent energy distribution.
This heralds "a new era of scalable and ultra-fast charging."
