innolectric AG introduces the Compact Efficient Charger (CEC) platform, an innovative on-board charging solution designed to simplify and optimize the charging process for electric vehicles. With its exceptional power density of approximately 2.0 kW/l and compatibility with major AC and DC charging standards, the CEC delivers the next generation of on-board chargers.

High Power Density Meets High Flexibility

The innolectric CEC is engineered to meet the highest industry standards, offering seamless integration of AC and DC charging capabilities into a single compact unit. The charger supports major international standards, including IEC 61851, SAE J1772, DIN SPEC 70121, and ISO 15118-20. Designed for a wide range of applications, the CEC ensures reliable performance across almost all energy grids in Europe, North America, China, and Japan.

Tim Karcher, CEO of innolectric AG, highlights the CEC’s customer-focused benefits: “Our new CEC On-Board Charger Platform brings together the needs and wishes of our customers, even if these are partly contradictory! We have combined a class-leading power density with the already familiar scope of services of our OBCs: maximum flexibility in the installation position, integrated charging communication following current and relevant charging standards of the future, and the control of peripherals.”

The CEC’s high efficiency of at least 96% and robust design (IP6K9K) make it ideal for challenging environments and demanding use cases. Its bi-directional charging capabilities ensure adaptability to evolving market needs.

Comprehensive Integration and Support

Developed entirely in-house at innolectric’s headquarters in Bochum, the CEC integrates power electronics and charging communication into a single solution. This approach ensures seamless compatibility with customer-specific requirements, from hardware adaptations to software updates. innolectric also provides full integration support to ensure smooth implementation into customer applications. Tim Karcher states: “With innolectric, our customers can rely on a partner who not only supplies them with a component but also supports them from integration to acceptance. This means that our customers can already rely on our products on land, at sea, on and off the road, and even underground. Always supported by our charging expert team remotely or on-site.”

Samples of the CEC are now available, allowing customers to test the technology in real-world applications and experience its benefits firsthand. The CEC can be delivered in larger quantities this year.
