Finnish charging equipment manufacturer Kempower has introduced a new direct current (DC) charger for the North American market.
The Kempower Flex Satellite is designed for public charging and supports both CCS1 and NACS connectors, aligning with U.S. federal funding requirements under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program.

The newly launched charger delivers up to 400 amps via CCS1 and 380 amps through NACS, with Kempower highlighting the latter as among the highest-powered NACS connectors available. By offering both connector types, the company aims to provide greater flexibility for EV drivers without concerns over compatibility or reduced charging power.
“With the launch of the new Flex Satellite, Kempower is raising the standard of EV charging solutions for drivers everywhere,” said Monil Malhotra, president of Kempower North America. “The Flex Satellite will enhance public charging infrastructure, allowing us to continue serving ever-changing customer needs and enabling the most efficient user experience for EV drivers across North America.”
