i-charging and SOLUM have begun commercial deliveries of MAX, a modular EV charging platform delivering up to 1.6 MW, with initial installations in Portugal and orders already received from Germany and Switzerland. The system combines SOLUM's EV Power Module with i-charging's dynamic power allocation technology to serve fleet depots, logistics operations, and public charging hubs across Europe.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.
◆ The Wire takeaway
If you supply power electronics, cooling, or modular components to charging networks, i-charging just proved 1.6 MW systems work at scale and are now shipping across Europe—they need more of what you make. SOLUM's architecture now sets the standard for what buyers expect; if you're competing on power density or reliability, this is your new benchmark.
