The Alpitronic HYC400 is the first 400-kilowatt (kW) system to
achieve UL certification from UL Solutions in Europe to UL 2202,
the Standard for DC Charging Equipment for Electric Vehicles, a
U.S. scheme, that marks Alpitronic’s formal entry into the North
American market.
“This achievement reinforces UL Solutions’ growth and focus on
capabilities to serve the EV market with services that help
increase confidence in the performance, reliability and safety of
products,” said Milan Dotlich, vice president and general manager
of the Energy and Industrial Automation Group at UL Solutions. “We
are proud to play a part in Alpitronic’s journey to meet the demand
for higher power and faster charging speeds in EV charging
equipment.”
At its EV Charging Test Center in Neu-Isenburg, UL Solutions
evaluated and tested the HYC400 by Alpitronic, a leading European
manufacturer of DC chargers, to assess compliance with the safety
and performance requirements of UL 2202. This includes requirements
for factors such as power verification, temperature, high voltage
and moisture. The HYC400 also underwent personal protection system
testing according to UL 2231, the Standard for Personnel Protection
Systems for Electric Vehicle (EV) Supply Circuits, to demonstrate
the safe operation of this charger for the user.
Compared to typical charging methods, 400 kW EV chargers can
significantly reduce charging time. For drivers, this can decrease
the amount of time spent charging their vehicle which addresses a
major concern for EV adoption.
Over the past decade, the growth of electric mobility has
continued to increase on a global scale. Governments are
implementing policies to put more EVs on the road by 2030. The
number of EV chargers is rapidly increasing as EV demand rises.
From 2014 to 2024, the EV charging infrastructure industry has seen
significant growth, with a substantial increase in the number of
public charging points globally, particularly in the last few
years, driven by rising electric vehicle sales. This growth is
characterized by a rapid expansion of fast chargers and a focus on
improving the accessibility and interoperability of charging
networks.1
“Our UL Solutions achievement is a major step forward for fast
charging and helps unlock further EV adoption by making charging
more efficient and convenient. Certification to UL 2202 for the
HYC400 gives our partners confidence that this equipment delivers
as promised regarding safety and performance,” said Phillip
Senoner, co-founder, CEO and chairman of the board of
Alpitronic.
The UL Solutions Neu-Isenburg EV Charging Test Center is part of
a global network of test facilities supporting the electrification
of transportation. These include:
- BatterieIngenieure by UL Solutions, battery testing laboratory
in Aachen, Germany
- CERE by UL Solutions, Microgrid/Distributed Energy Resource
Laboratory in Madrid, Spain
- North America Advanced Electric Vehicle Charging Laboratory in
Northbrook, Illinois
- EV Charging Test Center in Fremont, California
