HPC: High Power Charging

High Power Charging (HPC) refers to an ultra-high power charging technology, generally exceeding 250 kW.

It allows Electric Vehicles to be recharged in an extremely short time, making it particularly suitable for intensive use, such as long-distance transport or professional fleets. Thanks to high charging power, HPC stations can deliver significant range in just a few minutes, thus reducing downtime. This solution requires specific equipment and infrastructure capable of handling high currents and maintaining safety and performance throughout the charging session.

HPC often relies on standards like CCS Combo 2 or the MCS (Megawatt Charging System) for heavy-duty vehicles.
