Meet us at
Meet the EcoG team in person at SPS – Smart Production Solutions 2026 in Nuremberg, where industrial automation, industrial AI and cybersecurity take center stage.
Following our Siemens product partnership, we will be connecting with manufacturers, operators and the SIMATIC ecosystem to discuss SIMATIC-based fast chargers, interoperability and how software updates can support evolving requirements such as ISO 15118-20 and the Cyber Resilience Act.
We are attending as trade visitors, with no EcoG booth or exhibits. Arrange a meeting in advance to connect with us at the fair.
Nuremberg Exhibition Centre, Messeplatz 1, 90471 Nürnberg
24–26 November 2026

Exchange perspectives on interoperability, open interfaces and the requirements shaping your next charging platform.
Powerblock, dispenser and more
What is Distributed Charging Architecture?
Compared to stand-alone chargers where all components needed for DC charging are merged together into one monolithic housing, power electronics in Distributed Charging Architecture are externalized into a separate unit called powerblock, providing a central DC power source to dispensers which are EV-driver facing. Sometimes this is also referred to as satellite architecture.
What is EcoG doing?
As market leader of reference designs for EV DC charger manufacturers, EcoG is catalyzing this architecture to become mainstream and to complement the offering of stand-alone charging set-ups. EcoG takes a visionary approach by providing a reference design and control for both the powerblock and the dispenser — the EcoG Powerblock Starter Kit and the EcoG Dispenser Starter Kit. The two comprehensive kits provide reference designs, and serve as living implementations for building a series production.
Why is it important?
Bi-directional-capable vehicles, such as those from VW, are hitting the market in 2024. Now, regulatory processes need to be fast-tracked to make bi-directional charging ready for roll-out to the mass market.
MCS
What is Megawatt Charging?
MCS, or Megawatt Charging System for large-scale commercial electric vehicles, will be the next significant infrastructure advancement.
What is EcoG doing?
EcoG’s integrated hardware and software products will allow manufacturers and businesses to develop a standard charging solution to service heavy-duty electric vehicles like trucks, buses, and ships. EcoG has engaged with more than 60 component partners, including converter and charging connector
manufacturers, to help charging station manufacturers kickstart their MCS charger series launches.
Why is it important?
The new solution enables charging with power over 1MW (up to 3MW) and includes a new connector type as well as protocol adjustments.
With the final specifications of the earliest products expected in 2024, the full-scale rollout of MCS could be as soon as 2025.
The US market is a first mover with quite high
commitment (e.g. already ~8 cable manufacturers) and MCS is expected to be pushed by Inflation Reduction Act.
V2X
What is Bi-directional Charging (BiDi)?
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology is a game changer in charging infrastructure. Wheeled energy storage devices on the move already scale up to 1% of the overall electrical storage capacity in the U.S. grid. One BEV, for example, can temporarily supply a home for up to a week.
What is EcoG doing?
EcoG has driven forward the implementation guide of the ISO 15118-20 standard in CharIN together with the automotive and charging infrastructure industry. The technology with the above ISO standard is proven to be working. In addition, EcoG is developing a Starter Kit for bi-directionalcharging to make the technology available to the mass market.
Why is it important?
Heat pumps and electric cars are growing in popularity, posing challenges for the power grid. Bi-directional charging allows electric vehicles to store and redistribute energy, aiding grid stability during peak demand.
Bi-directional-capable vehicles, such as those from VW, are hitting the market in 2024. Now, regulatory processes need to be fast-tracked to make bi-directional charging ready for roll-out to the mass market.
