Acrel Launches AEU Series CCS2 DC Fast Chargers for European and Global Markets

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shanghai, China — Acrel, a leading global provider of electrical measurement and energy management solutions, today announced the launch of its AEU Series DC fast chargers, a new line of CCS2-compliant electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) engineered for commercial and public charging networks across Europe, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and other CCS2 regions. Available in power ratings from 80kW to 320kW, the AEU series delivers up to 500A peak current, 97% peak efficiency, and full smart-charging connectivity including OCPP 1.6J, ISO 15118, and OTA remote upgrades.

Meeting the Demand for High-Power DC Fast Charging

As electric vehicle adoption accelerates worldwide, charge point operators (CPOs), fleet managers, retail developers, and highway authorities require reliable, high-performance DC fast charging stations that can serve high-traffic locations. The Acrel AEU series is purpose-built to meet this demand, offering a modular all-in-one design that supports both CCS2 and GB/T connectors in dual-gun configurations, enabling simultaneous charging of two vehicles with dynamic power allocation.

"The AEU series represents Acrel's commitment to the global EV infrastructure transition," said a spokesperson for Acrel. "With CE-RED and CB certification, MID-certified metering, and support for all major OCPP and ISO 15118 charging protocols, our chargers are ready for deployment in the EU, UK, Southeast Asia, Australia, and beyond — backed by Acrel's two-decade expertise in electrical measurement and energy management."

Core Product Highlights

High-Efficiency SiC Power Modules

At the heart of every AEU charger are 40kW silicon carbide (SiC) power modules with full potting technology, achieving a peak efficiency of 97% and meeting EMI Class B standards. The modular architecture allows field-scalable power from 80kW up to 320kW, so operators can start small and expand as demand grows.

Boost Mode for Faster Charging

An intelligent Boost charging mode delivers up to 500A peak current (400A rated) on AEU320 models, reducing charging time by 15–20% and increasing station throughput by approximately 10%. Smart connector temperature monitoring ensures safe operation under all conditions.

Smart & Connected

• OCPP 1.6J support with upgrade path to OCPP 2.0 for seamless backend integration
• ISO 15118 and DIN 70121 vehicle-to-charger communication, ready for Plug & Charge
• 4G, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet connectivity with global-band 4G router (CE-RED certified)
• OTA remote firmware and UI upgrades to reduce on-site maintenance visits
• Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) for optimized power distribution across multiple chargers
• Acrel OMC cloud platform for remote diagnostics, fault logging, and fleet management

User-Friendly Design

• 7-inch QT touchscreen with multi-language support and real-time charging status
• RFID card reader (ISO/IEC 14443 A/B) and optional POS / credit card payment
• APP remote control and white-list authorization (card number, MAC, VIN)
• Optional Cable Management System (CMS) retractor reducing cable handling effort by 80%
• Ultra-quiet operation at ≤60 dB — suitable for residential and urban environments
• ADA-compliant accessibility design

Comprehensive Safety & Durability

The AEU series features an IP55 enclosure with IK10 impact resistance, operating from -30°C to +55°C. A multi-layer safety architecture includes Type-B leakage protection, insulation monitoring, over/under-voltage, over-temperature, short-circuit, surge (SPD), emergency stop, door-open, tilt, and smoke detection — ensuring safe operation in public and commercial environments.

MID-Certified Revenue Metering: An integrated Acrel DJSF1352 MID DC energy meter (Class 1 accuracy, Class B) provides tamper-proof, legally traceable billing — essential for paid public charging operations across the EU and MID-recognizing markets.
