Charging architecture

PowerHub

600 kW–1.2 MW

PowerHub consolidates bulk power away from traffic lanes and dynamically routes 600 kW to 1.2 MW from four input classes: utility grid, solar, battery energy storage (BESS), and generation capacity. One hub feeds up to 12 satellite charging dispensers over the PowerFlex subterranean network.

Applications

PowerHub is the permanent charging architecture driving Volatus' technology suite: one centralized dynamic power management (DPM) hub that scales from kilowatts to megawatts and feeds high-density satellite dispensers across the site. Meridian Cloud handles tracking, monitoring, and optimization above it.

FAQ

01What is PowerHub?

PowerHub is the Volatus centralized charging architecture: a dynamic power management hub that routes 600 kW to 1.2 MW from utility, solar, BESS, and generation-capacity inputs to up to 12 satellite charging dispensers.

02What is PowerFlex?

PowerFlex is the subterranean infrastructure network that carries power from the PowerHub to satellite dispensers through hardwired sub-surface routing. It is engineered to minimize voltage drop across extended runs while removing lane clutter.

03How does the architecture lower site costs?

By consolidating power conversion in one hub and feeding compact satellite dispensers, the architecture is designed to cut civil costs up to 30% and reclaim up to 60% of site footprint compared with equivalent standalone-charger builds, per Volatus design analysis.

04How does PowerHub scale over time?

Capacity scales from kilowatts to megawatts through 30 kW modules with live module swapping. The architecture is Megawatt Charging System (MCS) ready, so a site can grow toward megawatt charging without replacing the foundation.
