HAMBURG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 22, 2025--
XCharge is cooperating in testing with EnBW on their fast-charging-network, the EnBW HyperNet in Germany. Since August 2025, EnBW has deployed one charger to complement a location near Stuttgart. Now, an important step in the collaboration was made and a field test with 10 charging stations at four different locations has started. The test includes two XCharge units at EnBW’s site in EnBW City in Stuttgart and three other sites; Rutesheim, Karlsruhe (Durlach Center), and Karlsruhe central train station.

EnBW operates Germany’s largest high-power charging network with over 8,000 fast-charging points. EnBW is continuously testing hardware and software solutions for fast charging, including products from XCharge.
Over the past year, EnBW has conducted lab and field trials of XCharge’s technology. The initial results have been promising: “ XCharge has shown good capability across technology, service, data protection, and software, and has met our requirements throughout the evaluation process,” explains Volker Rimpler, Chief Technology Officer E-Mobility at EnBW. “ We have analyzed several thousand charging processes in the laboratory and continuously developed the hardware and software based on this.”
From XCharge’s perspective, the collaboration represents a major milestone. Albina Iljasov, Head of Europe at XCharge states: “ Germany remains a key market for us, and we continue to expand our presence here. Working with EnBW, the largest Charge Point Operator in Germany, demonstrates that our technology meets the high standards of the country’s leading fast-charging network. This collaboration in the current testing phase allows us to contribute to the further development and expansion of reliable high-power charging infrastructure in Germany.”
Technical strengths of XCharge chargers
The chargers under test rely on XCharge’s advanced DC fast-charging technology. The C7 Ultra-Fast Charger delivers up to 400 kW at a maximum of 600 A, enabling shorter charging times. It features dual CCS connectors, a user-friendly touchscreen interface, and a compact, modular design that simplifies installation and maintenance. Optional liquid- or air-cooled cables allow flexible operation under high load, while legal-for-billing certification ensures compliance with measurement regulations in public networks.
With dual headquarters in Hamburg and Texas, XCharge sees this testing cooperation with Germany’s leading energy provider as an important step. The strong performance of C7 chargers in EnBW’s evaluations confirms their suitability for reliable, high-quality applications that meet European requirements and support the expansion of the charging infrastructure.
