The Europe-wide operating HPC joint venture IONITY has announced the introduction of the newly launched 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 allows simultaneous charging of up to eight electric vehicles with dynamic power distribution to the individual charging points, or
charging 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 benchmark in charging speed and technology.
The HYC1000 charging systems from Alpitronic were first presented on February 14 in Bolzano (Italy) and are considered the next generation of fast-charging technology. The
CPO plans to roll out these high-tech chargers widely across its network from the second half of 2025. Prior to this, the HYC1000 hardware will undergo extensive validation 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 does
not only keep us in step with innovation — we lead it and shape the infrastructure of tomorrow. The new megawatt charging systems are a significant milestone on our path to enabling 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".
