The Portuguese charging infrastructure provider i-charging has unveiled its new "Blueberry Cluster," a high-power charging system designed for both electric passenger cars and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The solution combines high charging capacities with flexible power management, making it ideal for use along highly trafficked transit corridors, as well as in logistics and fleet applications.
The Portuguese charging infrastructure provider i-charging has unveiled its new "Blueberry Cluster," a high-power charging system designed for both electric passenger cars and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. The solution combines high charging capacities with flexible power management, making it ideal for use along highly trafficked transit corridors, as well as in logistics and fleet applications.
The system delivers charging capacities of up to 500 kW per charging point for passenger cars. For heavy-duty electric trucks, the available power can be dynamically increased to up to 600 kW per connection. The total installed capacity stands at 1.2 MW and can be expanded to up to 8 MW in the future. As a result, the system is expected to be among the most powerful fast-charging solutions currently available for mixed passenger and commercial vehicle applications.
A key feature of the system is its intelligent load balancing. The available power is dynamically distributed among the connected vehicles, which is intended to maximize infrastructure utilization. This is particularly attractive for logistics companies that need to charge multiple vehicles simultaneously while keeping downtime to a minimum.
