i-charging has announced the all-in-one 500 (AiO 500), a standalone EV charger that delivers 500 kW from a single compact unit. The solution was designed for highway corridors, fuel station replacements, and high-density urban locations where both maximum power and minimal footprint are critical, with support for CCS, NACS and GB/T for deployment across multiple markets.
i-charging has announced the all-in-one 500 (AiO 500), a standalone EV charger that delivers 500 kW from a single compact unit. The solution was designed for highway corridors, fuel station replacements, and high-density urban locations where both maximum power and minimal footprint are critical, with support for CCS, NACS and GB/T for deployment across multiple markets.
The AiO 500 has two outputs and distributes power dynamically between them, based on what each connected vehicle is drawing at any given moment. No operator input is required. The total 500 kW capacity remains available regardless of how demand is split between the two connectors.
The 500 kW ceiling is relevant as a growing number of production electric vehicles now support charging rates at or above 400 kW. Where a site has an all-in-one unit capped at that level, a single vehicle charging at full rate occupies the full installed capacity. AiO 500 is sized to serve both outputs at high power simultaneously.
All-in-one 500 incorporates i-charging’s patented dynamic power allocation technology, distributing available power between both outputs in real time based on vehicle demand.
When two vehicles are connected, power is allocated based on what each can receive at that moment. If one vehicle requires higher power than the other, the system adjusts accordingly. This improves utilisation of installed capacity and supports shorter charging sessions.
The 500 kW total output is aligned with the increasing charging capabilities of next-generation electric vehicles, allowing high-power charging on one output while maintaining full availability on the second.
The standard cable configuration supports sustained delivery up to 500 A. An optional liquid-cooled cable version is available for applications requiring higher sustained current. Commercial and heavy-duty vehicles require higher sustained current over longer periods than standard cables can reliably deliver. With liquid-cooled cables, the AiO 500 is suited to freight, coach and heavy transport operations alongside passenger vehicle charging, from a single compact unit.
The AiO 500 comes with the same 32" touchscreen, contactless card reader, and optional bank card terminal as the rest of our standalone solutions. Plug&Charge and Autocharge are supported. It runs OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 and connects via 4G modem or Ethernet. Operators managing existing i-charging chargers through my.i-charging will find the all-in-one 500 on the same platform.
First deliveries of the AiO 500 are scheduled to begin at the end of 2026 for CE markets and 2027Q1 for North America and Eichrecht markets. i-charging is currently working with early adopters to finalise deployment specifications and secure installation slots.
