Exicom Starts Producing Liquid-Cooled Power Modules for EV Chargers in India
The modules, destined mainly for North America and Europe, will go into Tritium's DC charger portfolio including TRI-FLEX and DC-FLEX.
Exicom has begun manufacturing liquid-cooled AC and DC power modules at its Hyderabad Smart Manufacturing Facility, becoming what it says is the first company in India to build this class of power electronics for global markets.
What Happened
The initial production run will supply modules mainly for North America and Europe, where they will be integrated into Tritium's DC charger portfolio—including TRI-FLEX and DC-FLEX chargers. Exicom acquired the Australian DC fast charging company in 2024. The liquid-cooled modules build on Tritium's existing in-house liquid-cooled capability and have been refined across some of the toughest charging environments worldwide. Exicom plans to incorporate the liquid-cooled architecture into its own Harmony DC chargers in later phases, bringing the technology closer to its domestic customers, which include charge point operators, fleets and OEMs. The sealed construction is designed to protect against dust, moisture and salt air—elements that can shorten charger lifespan in challenging environments.
Why It Matters
Exicom estimates that nearly 60% of power electronics failures stem from thermal stress, citing reliability studies. According to the company, every 10°C to 15°C rise in temperature doubles a component's failure rate, and liquid cooling can maintain internal temperatures roughly 10°C lower than air-cooled systems. As EV charging speeds increase and chargers run more hours daily, operators face higher demands on equipment durability. The Hyderabad facility is equipped with automation, digital traceability and specialized testing for domestic and international markets. "Globally, liquid cooling has become the architecture of choice for high-power charging," said Anant Nahata, Exicom's CEO and Managing Director.
The Bottom Line
Exicom is now producing liquid-cooled power modules in India for both export to North America and Europe—going into Tritium chargers—and eventual domestic use. The company positions local manufacturing as a way to own more of the technology itself and adapt it faster for customers worldwide.
