SICHARGE FLEX: Siemens unveils Next-Gen EV Charging System for the Megawatt era
SICHARGE Flex: A Flexible, Future-Proof Distributed EV Charging System for the Megawatt Era
Siemens today announced the launch of the SICHARGE FLEX product family, its next-generation electric vehicle (EV) distributed charging system, designed to be flexible, reliable, and economical – adaptable for a variety of use cases. Designed with modularity, scalability, and versatile adaptability, SICHARGE FLEX underscores Siemens’ unwavering commitment to leading the charge in smart infrastructure and the global transition to electric mobility.
As the demand for robust and efficient EV
charging infrastructure continues to surge, SICHARGE FLEX emerges as an
adaptable answer to diverse use cases, be it for fleet and depot or en-route charging.
Unlike rigid, single-purpose charging systems, SICHARGE FLEX offers a
dynamic and adaptable approach, ensuring optimal performance and investment
protection for operators and businesses.
The right power at the right outlet at the right time
SICHARGE FLEX sets new benchmarks in
technical performance and operational flexibility. At its core is a pioneering fully
dynamic power distribution system, which intelligently allocates power across
multiple charging points based on real-time vehicle demand. This means that all
power groups are routable to all outlets in all configurations, delivering the
right power to the right outlet at the right time. This system offers a wide
power range, from 480 kW to over 1.68 megawatt, enabling the charge points to
deliver power in 80/120 kW increments. As a result, it ensures optimal and
efficient power delivery to exactly where it is needed. Supporting both CCS and
MCS charging standards allows for up to 4 MCS charge points to be installed
with a single system. SICHARGE FLEX delivers up to 1,500 A of charging
current through its MCS dispenser, enabling rapid charging for even the largest
electric vehicles like heavy-duty trucks as well as electric city and overland buses.
The system also boasts an industry-leading
power density, enabling high-capacity charging within a remarkably compact
footprint (up to 656 kW/m2). Combined with the front-in front-out
cooling system, allowing for wall placements, offering a critical advantage for
space-constrained environments. Additionally, the system features the
flexibility to support dispensers placed up to 300 meters away from the central
power cabinet. These dispensers can also be floor-mounted with a minimal
footprint (0.1 m2 for CCS and 0.2 m2 for MCS),
wall-mounted or overhead-mounted in different options to flexibly fit any site.
"The introduction of SICHARGE FLEX
marks a significant milestone in our journey to build a comprehensive and
sustainable E-Mobility ecosystem," said Markus Mildner, CEO eMobility,
Siemens Smart Infrastructure. "This solution embodies our vision for a
future where EV charging is not only fast and reliable, but also seamlessly
integrated and highly efficient. SICHARGE FLEX empowers our customers to
confidently scale their operations, optimize energy use, and contribute to a
cleaner, more electrified world."

Future-proof technology and user-centric innovation
Engineered for ease of use and long-term
reliability, SICHARGE FLEX family features a user-centric design that
simplifies installation and maintenance. It is seamlessly integrated with
existing Siemens eMobility ecosystems. The cloud-based monitoring and
management solution Sifinity Control offers operators full visibility and
remote-control of their charging infrastructure, ensuring maximum uptime and
operational efficiency. It enables complete configuration - from installation
to display customization - tailored to specific operational needs.
For depot operators, integration
with DepotFinity’s smart energy management optimizes fleet charging
even under limited grid capacity, reducing the need for costly infrastructure
upgrades. Combined with the dynamic power distribution of SICHARGE FLEX,
this intelligent energy control lowers total cost of ownership while
maintaining reliable operations.
Early market adoption and customer confidence
Even before its general release, SICHARGE FLEX
attracted significant interest and commitment from key industry players,
underscoring the market's confidence in Siemens' technology. OMV, a leading Charge
Point Operator (CPO) and Mobility Service Provider (MSP) based in Vienna,
Austria operating a network in Austria, Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, and
Hungary, has already placed an order for the SICHARGE FLEX system. The
site in Kufstein, Austria – a strategically important location along the A12
corridor connecting Germany and Italy – will be designed to serve passenger
cars as well as eTrucks and eBuses. Kufstein already hosts an existing petrol
station, confirming the site's excellent positioning and accessibility for
long-haul and regional traffic. In the first phase, six charging points will be
installed, with a planned expansion to ten charging points following grid
reinforcement by the local Distribution System Operator (DSO).
“At OMV, our mission is to provide our
customers with reliable, high-performance charging infrastructure that meets
the demands of modern mobility – today and tomorrow. The new site in Kufstein
is a prime example of how we combine strategic location planning with
cutting-edge technology to deliver real value: fast charging for eTrucks,
eBuses and passenger cars, seamless user experience, and future-ready
scalability,” said Eric Schulze, Senior Vice President Retail Mobility &
Convenience, OMV. “As both a Charge Point Operator and Mobility Service
Provider, we are proud to be the first to bring this system into operation and
to continue leading the way in sustainable transport solutions across Central
Europe.”
En-route charging with SICHARGE Flex enables CPOs to provide versatile charging hubs for cars, trucks and busses.
Commitment to sustainability and trust
Beyond its technical capabilities, SICHARGE FLEX
reflects Siemens' deep-rooted commitment to sustainability by enabling highly
efficient energy use and optimized power utilization. Its design offers
grid-balancing capabilities, further enhancing the stability and sustainability
of energy networks.
Furthermore, SICHARGE FLEX is developed
with Siemens' robust "Security by Design" principles, incorporating
foundational cybersecurity measures such as encryption at rest, and in transit
together with secure boot to protect data and ensure system integrity.
Availability
SICHARGE FLEX was officially launched
at Busworld 2025 in Brussels, where attendees experienced its innovative
features firsthand. The product will be available for purchase in 2026, with
Siemens eMobility poised to support customers in deploying this transformative
charging solution across various applications including transportation/logistic
companies, CPOs and OEMs.
E-Mobility is crucial for achieving global
climate goals. Siemens eMobility is dedicated to integrating it into everyday
life, contributing to a more sustainable future. Its portfolio covers all
aspects of smart and efficient DC charging infrastructure, including
IoT-connected hardware, software, and a comprehensive service offering – beyond
hardware. It particularly focuses on the growing high-power fast charging
segment – for depot and en-route applications. Siemens eMobility’s customers
include Charge Point Operators, OEMs, energy companies, and fleet operators.
