Tritium introduces TRI-FLEX fast-charging system in Europe
The TRI-FLEX platform is intended to support operators with modular scalability and reduce the need for costly infrastructure upgrades. It supports 2 to 32 dispensers per charging hub, allowing for up to 64 simultaneous charge points. The architecture is compatible with 100 kW, 200 kW and 400 kW DC dispensers and allows phased deployment.
TRI-FLEX is engineered for grid and climate resilience. It supports integration with battery storage and renewable energy systems and includes smart grid functionality with 25 kW load balancing resolution. The system operates in ambient temperatures ranging from -35°C to +55°C and is rated IP65 for environmental protection. Liquid cooling is used for thermal management and reliability.
The platform includes support for over 30 advanced driver assistance functions and has been designed for both urban and rural deployments. Tritium states that the system is compatible with various site configurations and business models, enabling operators to adapt to evolving usage patterns and energy supply constraints.
“The EV revolution will move at the speed of its infrastructure,” said Arcady Sosinov, CEO of Tritium. “TRI-FLEX is designed to grow with demand, optimise grid impact, and meet Europe’s regulatory environment.”
He added: “Without a fundamental shift in charging architecture, the infrastructure will not keep pace with vehicle adoption. We believe TRI-FLEX addresses these challenges.”
At the initial launch at the ACT Expo in California earlier this year, Tritium said that at the centre of the charging system is the TRI-FLEX Hub. It is a power conversion unit supporting AC input from 400 kW to 1.6 MW, and delivering up to 3.2 MW of DC output.
At the time, Tritium also said that TRI-FLEX is MCS-capable, with full support for MCS connectors to follow based on market uptake. “Due to the limited number of MCS-capable vehicles registered globally, our customers serving heavy duty vehicles will have access to a 640kW dispenser, and we will release a MCS dispenser when there is sufficient demand in the market,” Arcady Sosinov, CEO of Tritium, said in April. There is no mention of MCS in the press release concerning the European launch.
What is mentioned is that the system meets the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) requirements and complies with DC metering standards, including Germany’s Eichrecht and EU MID. According to Tritium, this regulatory readiness allows for streamlined deployment across multiple European markets.
Tritium will exhibit the TRI-FLEX platform and its components at the 38th International Electric Vehicle Symposium & Exhibition (EVS38) alongside other charging and infrastructure solutions.
