Siemens launches one of the most efficient
DC chargers currently available on the market

• Voltage range up to 1,000 V and scalable charging power up to 300 kW

• High efficiency for reduced operational cost at high power flow

• Automated allocation and shifting of charging power

Siemens Smart Infrastructure released its new public fast charger Sicharge D for the
IEC markets. It is suited for highway and urban fast charging stations, city parking
as well as shopping malls and provides one of highest peak efficiencies on the
market at 96 percent, scalable charging power and dynamic power sharing.

“With its upgradability and dynamic charging, it is a big step forward to support the
future of eMobility. Our customers can be sure to be prepared for future
eventualities of eMobility, be it increasing number of required charging options or
increasing charging speeds,” said Birgit Dargel, Global Head of Future Grids at
Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “At the same time, it is one of the most efficient fast
chargers currently available on the market – an important aspect since building
sustainable mobility requires careful handling of the scarce resources we are using.”

With a constant efficiency of above 95.5 percent and a peak efficiency of 96 percent,
the new Sicharge D ensures that almost all of the generated electricity reaches the
car to be charged. For customers this means reduced operational costs. In addition,
the charger is designed to meet future technological developments: Even if the
charging capacities of most electric vehicles are still limited today, they will be able
to accept higher charging power in the future and demand higher voltage ranges.
Therefore, the Sicharge D has a scalable charging power up to 300 kW, either from
the start or through plug-and-play upgrades. Furthermore, the charger already
supports voltages between 150 and 1,000 volts (V) and currents of up to
1,000 amperes (A) across all DC outlets. This enables full power loads for future

800 V vehicles as well as the lower voltage charging rates demanded by todays
mainstream vehicles.
Although the number of electric vehicles is growing, today's investments in
infrastructure are challenging. With the option to expand the Sicharge D with up to
two external dispensers, it is possible for customers to time the investments
according to market demands. The standard configuration has two DC and one AC
outlet housed in a compact design that minimizes installation complexity.

The new charger combines all these features with dynamic parallel charging. That
means, it accounts for the individual power demand of each connected car and
automatically adapts the charging process to the EV's battery technology and
charging status. This ensures that the connected cars get the maximum power they
need without any additional manual intervention.

For an improved user experience, an integrated 24-inch adjustable display allows to
easily operate the Sicharge D charger barrier-free and opens new opportunities for
customers to use the chargers display for tasks beyond interfacing with the charging
process.
