Tritium Unveils TRI-FLEX Scaling EV Charging Platform At ACT Expo 2025
Tritium unveiled its revolutionary TRI-FLEX charging platform at ACT Expo 2025 This year's Advanced Clean Transportation Expo, or ACT Expo 2025, is underway in Anaheim, California, with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers unveiling the latest advanced vehicles, low-carbon fuels, and innovative transportation technologies and services. Tritium, a global leader in DC fast chargers for electric vehicles (EVs), is using the event to announce its revolutionary TRI-FLEX charging platform—a next-generation distributed architecture that enables charge point operators to scale from four up to 64 charge points easily. The technology promises to address critical infrastructure challenges as the EV market transitions from early adoption to mainstream over the next several years. 'Today marks a paradigm shift in EV charging infrastructure," said Arcady Sosinov, Tritium's CEO, during the unveiling at ACT Expo. "TRI-FLEX is not just an incremental improvement but a fundamental reimagining of distributed charging architecture designed to scale efficiently at the speed of coming demand in the market." The TRI-FLEX hub—the core of the platform—is a power conversion system that scales from 400kW to 1.6MW of AC power and up to 3.2MW of DC power (a single Hub can power two to 32 TRI-FLEX dispensers—up to 64 charge points). Flexibility allows mixing and matching 100kW, 200kW, and 400kW dispensers in a single system, and the system's 25kW power resolution with real-time load balancing optimizes energy distribution. The TRI-FLEX hub carries a full IP65 environmental rating and advanced liquid cooling, maintaining reliable performance from Arctic cold (-35°C) to desert heat (+55°C). I interviewed Sosinov to learn more about the technology, better understand why the company feels the market is ready, and understand its impact on consumers, the end users: 'Think of traditional charging like having separate water heaters for every shower in your house – inefficient, expensive, and difficult to scale. TRI-FLEX is like one smart water heater serving many showers simultaneously, giving each precisely the temperature and pressure it needs. We call it 'distributed' charging infrastructure, and Tritium pioneered it over a decade ago. "TRI-FLEX dramatically enhances distributed charging: whereas existing charging systems typically only scale to 8 charging points, TRI-FLEX can scale to 64. That's eight times more charging points without requiring eight times the grid capacity. Our ultra-scaling architecture will support up to 64 vehicles from a single power system without requiring massive, costly and time-consuming grid upgrades. And best of all, customers can invest in a smaller system today and then scale to 64 charging points over time in a cost-effective way, without requiring new infrastructure or power cabinets (just add dispensers!). "This isn't incremental improvement—it's a fundamental reimagining of what's possible in EV charging. Start with what you need today, scale seamlessly as demand grows—without replacing your initial investment. That's the promise of TRI-FLEX.' 'We're at a pivotal moment in transportation history. The EV market is going to surge from early adoption to mainstream acceptance, with global sales of EVs set to hit 20% of all vehicles this year. By 2030, we're looking at 27 million EVs on U.S. roads alone, and a staggering 92 million by 2040. This isn't gradual growth – it's an electric avalanche. "Here's the challenge: today's charging infrastructure was built for yesterday's EV market. Current systems typically only scale to 8 charging points per power cabinet, require massive grid upgrades for expansion, and can't efficiently serve the growing diversity of vehicles from compact cars to commercial trucks. "The coming EV revolution can only move at the speed of its infrastructure. Without a fundamental shift in charging architecture, we'll hit a wall where EVs are increasingly popular but increasingly difficult to charge. TRI-FLEX removes this final barrier between early adoption and mainstream electrification, ensuring the infrastructure can actually keep pace with growing demand for a diverse set of electric vehicles.' 'Absolutely, customers can replace their existing charging infrastructure with TRI-FLEX, without upgrading their grid connection. That allows them to scale from 4 charging points to 64 charging points over time. "TRI-FLEX also has industry-leading power density of 512kW per square meter, which means it requires significantly less space than conventional systems. This is transformative for existing sites with limited real estate. "We're giving operators a clear upgrade path that transforms their sites gradually, responding to actual demand rather than speculation. No more "build it and hope they come" – just smart infrastructure that grows precisely when and how it's needed.' 'For EV drivers, this is about eliminating the last vestiges of range anxiety. Going forward, the biggest pain point won't be vehicle range – it will be finding available chargers when and where you need them. TRI-FLEX changes that equation by allowing for fast, cost-effective scaling of EV charging locations that can keep up with accelerating demand. "With up to 64 charging connections from a single system, the likelihood of waiting in line plummets. Our technology enables charging operators to install many more charging points in the same space with the same grid connection, dramatically increasing availability. "As the EV charging network expands into more diverse locations, reliability in extreme environments becomes crucial. Our fully sealed IP65-rated enclosures and advanced liquid cooling technology ensure consistent performance from Arctic cold to desert heat. This means TRI-FLEX will work in places where conventional chargers struggle but where drivers absolutely need dependable charging. When other systems might shut down in Phoenix's summer heat or Minneapolis's winter freeze, TRI-FLEX keeps delivering power.' 'This next-generation architecture has several patents pending. We've developed truly innovative approaches to power sharing, thermal management, and system integration that represent significant advances in the state of the art. The intellectual property portfolio we're building around TRI-FLEX will help secure Tritium's position at the forefront of charging technology for years to come. "We're taking orders today and expect to begin shipping next quarter. TRI-FLEX addresses the most pressing infrastructure challenges for charge point operators, fleet managers, and retail site developers, allowing for increased return on investment (ROI) and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). "It's worth remembering that Tritium has been a pioneer in DC fast charging for over a decade now. TRI-FLEX is just our latest innovation to keep powering the road forward.'
