Introduction

This section provides an introduction to the ChargePoint® Express Plus Power Block and Power Link 1000.

ChargePoint recommends consulting with an engineer to create site specific drawings. Ensure the installation complies with all applicable codes and ordinances.

Express Plus Components

Express Plus is a scalable DC fast charging platform that is based on the modular building blocks outlined below.

Express Plus modular building blocks

  1. Power Module is the power conversion component. It converts the upstream AC power into DC power to output up to 40 kW of power.

  2. Power Block contains Power Modules. It can accommodate up to five Power Modules and has two DC outputs, capable of delivering up to 200 kW of power.

  3. Power Link 1000 is the charger. It receives DC power from Power Blocks. A Power Link 1000 can accommodate up to two charging cables to charge two electric vehicles sequentially.

For full specifications and certifications, refer to the Express Plus Power Block and Power Link 1000 Datasheet at ChargePoint Product Reference Documentation.

For sites that include Power Hub (an optional component of Express Plus), refer to the Power Hub Site Design Guide and Installation Guide.
