High Power Charging (HPC) refers to ultra-fast EV charging technology in North America, typically delivering over 250 kW of power. Designed for intensive applications such as long-haul transport, commercial fleets, and high-utilization vehicles, HPC stations can restore substantial driving range within minutes, drastically reducing vehicle downtime.
These systems require specialized charging equipment and robust infrastructure to safely handle high currents while maintaining optimal performance throughout the session. In North America, HPC stations predominantly use CCS Combo 1 connectors for passenger and commercial EVs, with emerging support for Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) in heavy-duty fleets. HPC is a critical solution for operators seeking fast, reliable, and scalable charging for high-demand electric mobility operations.
