Kempower Station Charger Version 2
DC EV charger
Kempower Station Charger Version 2 combines one or two cabinets, one to eight 50 kW Power Modules and up to two integrated DC outputs. Optional external charging points can bring the total to four. C500 and C800 modules serve different voltage envelopes, while dynamic or dynamic-ready distribution determines how power reaches connectors. Kempower directs third-party management through its OCPP and API documentation. EpiSensor Edge measures each cabinet's AC supply through a ZEM-65 electricity monitor.
Compatibility
Compatible with EpiSensor Edge through a ZEM-65 on each cabinet supply
Kempower directs third-party backends to its OCPP and API integration documentation. Edge does not speak OCPP, so that link stays with ChargEye or the chosen backend. Edge measures each cabinet through an EpiSensor ZEM-65 electricity monitor with Rogowski coils on its three-phase mains supply, which records the energy, power and current per phase it draws.
Station Charger Version 2 with Power Module V2, single or double cabinet; Version 1 and North American configurations differ. Confirm C500 or C800 modules, distribution type, outputs, optional AC socket and meters. Site check: put one ZEM-65 on each cabinet's feeder, with Rogowski coils sized to that feeder and a supply within 110 to 480 V AC line to line.

Models
| Models | Interface | Route into Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Station Charger Version 2, single cabinet | One to four 50 kW Power Modules, up to 200 kW and one or two integrated DC outputs | A ZEM-65 on the cabinet supply for Edge; ChargEye or a qualified third-party backend for charging operations. |
| Station Charger Version 2, double cabinet | Up to eight 50 kW modules, up to 400 kW and optional external charging points | Treat cabinet, module, connector and power-distribution identities as one commissioned system. |
Specifications
Version 2 uses Power Module V2 in single- or double-cabinet form. Site output is set by module count, module voltage class, distribution configuration, connector ratings and the vehicle request.12
- Power modules
- One to four 50 kW modules per cabinet; single cabinet up to 200 kW, double cabinet up to 400 kW12
- DC outputs
- One or two integrated DC connectors; one or two external charging points can extend the system to four12
- Voltage classes
- C500 for 500 V class and C800 for 800 V class; confirm module and vehicle voltage compatibility2
- Power routing
- Dynamic or dynamic-ready distribution; dynamic routing reallocates independent 25 kW channels during charging2
- Backend
- ChargEye or a third-party backend using Kempower's OCPP and API integration documentation3
Interface
Documented measurements and integration boundaries for Station Charger Version 2.
- C500 and C800 refer to module voltage classes. Record the module type rather than labelling every Station Charger simply as 400 kW.
- Dynamic distribution reroutes power channels during a session. Parallel C500/C800 connections allocate power in 25 kW steps; series-connected C500 modules with adaptive voltage allocate in 50 kW steps. Dynamic-ready fixes the routing until the distribution module is replaced. ChargEye can use even sharing or a configured priority, such as arrival order.
- Integrated energy meters, an AC Type 2 socket and external charging points are options. Do not assume they are present from the cabinet name.
Assessment
Station Charger Version 2; exact module, distribution, output and backend configuration must be confirmed.
- InteroperabilitySupported with conditions
- Kempower documents a third-party OCPP/API backend process; Edge measures each cabinet's AC supply through a ZEM-65.3
- AccuracyNot yet assessed
- Integrated energy meters are optional and the retained public pages do not state their accuracy or billing approval.
- SecurityNot yet assessed
- The retained public material does not state the OCPP security profile, credential lifecycle or certificate configuration.
- ReliabilitySupported with conditions
- The manual identifies dynamic routing, installation tests and manufacturer commissioning, while network fallback and session recovery require site evidence.23
- RuggednessNot yet assessed
- The retained version page does not publish complete enclosure, temperature and impact ratings for every product-code configuration.
- ScalabilityWell supported
- One or two cabinets, up to eight modules and up to four charging points provide documented staged capacity and dynamic allocation.12
- LifecycleSupported with conditions
- Kempower maintains a current technical portal and requires certified installation; version and configuration records remain essential for replacement.2
Setup
-
Confirm the Version 2 label, single- or double-cabinet arrangement, C500/C800 module type and count, dynamic or dynamic-ready distribution, integrated and external outputs, meters and optional AC socket.
-
Have Kempower-certified and electrically authorised personnel verify foundations, three-phase supply, protection, cable routing, Ethernet tests and local inspection requirements.
-
Agree the backend and obtain Kempower's OCPP/API documentation and integration support.
Record charge-point and connector identities before onboarding the charger.
-
For each connector, compare state, requested and delivered power, session energy and timestamps at the charger and backend.
Repeat with several vehicles to check the configured sharing or priority. Use the ordered C501/C801 and Ds2/Ds4/R table: for example, the four-module C501 Ds4 configuration is limited to 160 kW per point at 400 V despite its 200 kW cabinet total. Its adaptive 800 V mode has a different limit. Confirm total connector power also stays within the installed module capacity and site limit.
-
Test loss and restoration of Ethernet or cellular service and the approved backend.
Record the observed fallback rather than inferring it from OCPP support.
