Alpitronic Adds Compact Depot Dispenser to Commercial Charger Lineup

EVSE manufacturer Alpitronic has expanded its commercial charging portfolio with the introduction of a new Depot Dispenser, a compact unit designed specifically for electric bus and truck fleets operating at depots.

What Happened

The new Depot Dispenser joins Alpitronic’s existing lineup of dispensers for the HYC1000 distributed charging system, which was unveiled in 2025. The HYC1000 system features a Power Cabinet with eight 125 kW Power Stacks, delivering up to one megawatt of total charging power that can be distributed in 62.5 kW increments to as many as eight outputs. While the system previously offered MCS, HP, and EV Dispenser options, the new Depot Dispenser is tailored for fleet applications where maximum power at every point is not the primary requirement.

Why It Matters

For fleet operators, the Depot Dispenser offers a space-efficient solution for depots where vehicles charge during dwell times. The unit features a compact housing measuring 600 × 400 × 250 mm and weighs up to 35 kg, allowing for wall, pedestal, or ceiling mounting. It supports a peak current of 400 A at voltages ranging from 150 to 1,000 V, enabling up to 400 kW of power when used with vehicles operating near 1,000 V. Alpitronic has removed the touchscreen found on larger stations, opting instead for a status LED and RFID authentication, which aligns with the operational focus on reliability and economy rather than consumer-facing interfaces. Optional card readers and QR code scanners allow operators to manage both fleet and guest vehicle charging.

The Bottom Line

The Depot Dispenser will initially launch in Europe, with other markets to follow. This addition reinforces Alpitronic’s strategy of offering both distributed and all-in-one charging solutions to meet the diverse needs of the maturing DC fast charging market.
