Munich, April 24, 2025 – IONITY, Europe’s leading provider of ultra-fast electric vehicle charging, today announced that it will be the first charge point operator (CPO) to procure the newly unveiled HYC1000 chargers from Alpitronic for its network. The new megawatt charging system features a central Power Cabinet that distributes power to up to four dispensers, each equipped with two charge points. This allows for the simultaneous charging of up to eight electric vehicles, with dynamic power allocation per charge point - or a single vehicle charging at up to 600 kW. Compatible vehicles will be able to charge up to 300 km of range in under eight minutes. With this step, IONITY once again raises the bar for charging speed and technology, solidifying its role as a driving force in e-mobility innovation. 

The HYC1000 chargers from Alpitronic were first presented on February 14 in Bolzano and are recognized as the next generation of fast-charging technology. IONITY plans to roll-out these state-of-the-art chargers across its network in the second half of 2025. The company will start to extensively evaluate the HYC1000 hardware at the IONITY Test Site close to Munich in May. IONITY’s goal is to offer users even shorter charging times and maximum efficiency, further enhancing the convenience and everyday usability of electric vehicles. 

“By integrating the HYC1000 chargers, we’re giving our customers access to some of the fastest and most advanced charging technology available today," says Jeroen van Tilburg, CEO of IONITY. "We’re not just keeping up with innovation — we’re leading it, building the infrastructure of tomorrow. This integration marks another key milestone in our mission to deliver ultra-fast, convenient charging at scale for EV drivers across Europe.” 

Philipp Senoner, CEO of Alpitronic, adds: “With the HYC1000, we’re introducing a new era of scalable ultra-fast charging – combining megawatt-level performance with intelligent power distribution. We’re proud to partner with IONITY to bring the next level of charging performance to EV drivers across Europe.”
