Siemens has expanded its fast-charging portfolio with the launch of the Sicharge Flex system at Busworld 2025 in Brussels, a next-generation charging solution capable of delivering up to 1.68 megawatts and supporting both CCS and the new megawatt charging standard (MCS), the company said.
The Sicharge Flex is designed as a decentralized charging system comprising a control cabinet and multiple dispensers that can be located up to 300 meters away. Available in three cabinet sizes, the unit delivers between 480 kilowatts and 1.68 megawatts at 1,500 amps — exceeding competitors such as Alpitronic’s 1 MW HYC1000 and ABB’s 1.2 MW HoLa project charger.

Siemens said the system’s dynamic energy management can distribute power among up to six CCS or four MCS charging points, or a mix of both, depending on demand. While the peak 1.68 MW output can be supplied to a single vehicle, the system can balance power across multiple connections for higher operational efficiency.
Markus Mildner, CEO of eMobility at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, said the launch marks “a significant milestone” toward a more sustainable e-mobility ecosystem, enabling customers “to scale operations, optimize energy use, and contribute to a cleaner, more electrified world.”

The Sicharge Flex will enter the market in 2026, with Austrian oil company OMV as its first customer. OMV plans to install the system at a site in Kufstein along the A12 corridor linking Germany and Italy, initially with six charging points and plans to expand to ten once grid reinforcements are completed.
