Introduction
This section provides an introduction to the ChargePoint® Express Plus Power Block and Power Link 1000.
Express Plus Components
Express Plus is a scalable DC fast charging platform that is based on the modular building blocks outlined below.
-
Power Module is the power conversion component. It converts the upstream AC power into DC power to output up to 40 kW of power.
-
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.
-
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.
