ChargePoint and Eaton Launch Express Grid for 600 kW and Megawatt EV Charging

Orders open for select North American and European customers with deliveries slated for the second half of 2026.

Overview

  • The new architecture delivers up to 600 kW for passenger vehicles and scales to megawatt charging for heavy‑duty trucks, with 3.75 MW cited.
  • A DC‑centric, microgrid‑ready design removes some AC‑to‑DC conversion to boost efficiency and enables V2X/V2G functions for energy management and grid services.
  • ChargePoint and Eaton claim roughly 30% reductions in capital expense, operating costs, and site footprint compared with current solutions.
  • Eaton will supply custom, site‑ready power packages with an optional skid‑mounted setup and plans to commercialize solid‑state transformers via its Resilient Power Systems acquisition.
  • The offering targets charging operators and fleets, with deployment dependent on utility participation and available DC microgrid or high‑capacity connections.
