Autel Energy walks through an EVSE portfolio that spans residential Level 2 all the way to depot-class DC infrastructure. The highlight at the front of the booth is a bidirectional home charger rated at 12 kW (50 A), positioned as a V2H bridge between an EV pack and a home load panel so the car can act like a much larger “battery” than typical stationary storage. https://autelenergy.com/
A recurring theme is interoperability: charging is “simple” only when the control pilot handshake, protection logic, and vehicle communication behave predictably every time. Autel’s roots in automotive diagnostics show up in how they talk about optimizing the charger-to-vehicle handshake, plus the expectation that an EVSE must play nicely across mixed fleets, firmware revisions, and grid constraints without drama, especially when tied into smart energy management and time-of-use rate.
On the hardware side, the booth tour highlights a compact DC fast charger in the ~50 kW class (single or dual port), with support for CCS and the Tesla/NACS connector (SAE J3400). The same “compact but practical” idea carries into their commercial AC Single Level 2 station, also 12 kW, which adds an embedded Nayax payment terminal so small businesses or multi-tenant sites can do tap-to-charge without building a bespoke billing flow here.
For higher power sites, Autel contrasts monolithic all-in-one cabinets up to 480 kW with a distributed architecture up to 640 kW where a centralized power cabinet feeds smaller dispensers (similar in layout to many highway fast-charge sites). Internally, the modularity is framed like a server rack: 40 kW power modules can be added to scale output over time, with cooling and power electronics packaged to keep upgrades and service predictable at full power.
They also hint at where charging is headed: automated plug-in/plug-out experiments for fleet depots, plus monitoring workflows that matter when uptime is the product. The interview is filmed at CES Las Vegas 2026, and it lands on Autel’s global footprint with North American operations based in Anaheim, additional presence in Fremont, and manufacturing in Greensboro, alongside deployments across Europe and other regions like Anaheim.
