MUNICH — Sungrow Charging used its appearance at Power2Drive Europe 2026 to introduce two new products aimed squarely at operators frustrated by slow, costly charging infrastructure rollouts: an all-in-one AC-coupled system called ChargePower One, and a destination-charging DC unit named the IDC80E. Both were unveiled at the show, held in Munich, Germany, and are positioned to extend the company's reach across commercial energy management and EV charging.

Grid Constraints Push Operators Toward Combined Storage and Charging

The launch comes as grid capacity increasingly bottlenecks high-power charging projects. Operators in many markets report multi-year waits and steep costs just to secure the additional capacity a fast-charging site needs, a delay that stalls projects and slows broader EV adoption. That pressure has pushed commercial and industrial site owners toward systems that fold energy storage and charging into a single package rather than building them separately — the gap ChargePower One is designed to fill.

ChargePower One Promises a Week-Long Path to Commissioning

Built for commercial and industrial sites, ChargePower One packages five functions — energy storage, EV charging, an energy management controller, a power conversion system, and power distribution — into a single factory-assembled unit. Because the components arrive pre-integrated, Sungrow says installers can skip much of the on-site assembly work that typically slows deployment, with sites able to go live in as few as seven days.

The company also points to cost savings: a smaller physical footprint, reduced labor needs, and a streamlined delivery process that can cut upfront project costs by roughly 10%, in some cases avoiding a grid upgrade altogether. An independent AC-bus parallel design is meant to let operators retrofit or expand the system later without reworking the whole installation.

On the software side, Sungrow's energy management platform handles real-time optimization of charging, storage, and consumption, and the system can plug into virtual power plant programs — giving site owners an added revenue channel on top of the charging business itself.

Safety Systems Built Around Early Warning

Sungrow says the unit's battery management software uses AI to flag potential cell problems as much as a week before they would otherwise surface, and pairs that with millisecond-speed arc-fault detection and automatic shutdown. The company states ChargePower One has been put through more than 320 tests globally and is backed by its existing service network. For data protection, the system supports on-site deployment with encrypted data handling and holds a CyberVadis Silver rating.

IDC80E Targets the One-Day Installation Window

The second product shown at the event, the IDC80E, is built for destination charging — the category of site where a driver parks for an extended stretch rather than a quick top-up. Sungrow describes the unit's design philosophy as "instant on, always on," with an emphasis on quick setup and long-term reliability.

According to the company, the charger needs up to 20% less installation space than typical DC units, and a standard site can be set up by two technicians in a single day without cranes or heavy civil works. Sungrow's isolated air-cooling system is intended to cut down on maintenance, while IP65, IK10, and C5 certifications are meant to support outdoor use in harsh conditions. Because faults are isolated at the module level rather than taking the whole charger offline, Sungrow claims 99% uptime and a 99.5% first-attempt charging success rate.

For sites where cars typically stay parked one to three hours, the IDC80E is rated for up to 97% efficiency and can deliver currents up to 250A. Built-in dynamic load management, OCPP 2.0.1 support, and over-the-air updates are designed to simplify ongoing operations. Operators can also scale power from 80kW to 120kW later by swapping modules rather than rebuilding the site, and the unit is V2G-ready, with the option to integrate solar and storage down the line.

A Broader Charging Lineup

Alongside the two flagship launches, Sungrow also showed its AC22-G3 smart AC charger with V2G support, aimed at residential and semi-public settings. Together, the three products round out a portfolio spanning destination charging, commercial deployments, and combined energy management — part of what the company describes as an effort to give customers more flexible, efficient charging infrastructure as the market matures.

New Certifications Add to Compliance Push

Sungrow Charging also used the show to announce it had secured what it called the industry's first IEC 61851-23:2023 certification from TÜV Rheinland, along with Norwegian EPD certification and ISO 15118-20 compliance. The company frames the certifications as evidence of its focus on safety, interoperability, and sustainability as regulatory requirements continue to shift across international markets.
