PowerFlex Brings Versatile FractalEV Chargers to its Level 2 Charging Network

PowerFlex is committed to building a hardware-agnostic ecosystem that pairs best-in-class charging equipment with our industry-leading energy management software. To that end, we’re excited to announce our partnership with FractalEV to integrate the manufacturer’s FR-48 and FR-80 Level 2 chargers into the PowerFlex network.

About FractalEV Chargers

FractalEV develops next-generation EV chargers for professional applications, with a focus on flexibility and scalability. Here is what PowerFlex customers can expect when deploying them for their projects.

• Two Amperage and Power Options: The FR-48 and FR-80 models are essentially the same commercial-grade Level 2 charger with different maximum current and power ratings — 48 A and 80 A, and 11.5 kW and 19.2 kW, respectively. This enables site hosts to right-size charging infrastructure based on driver needs.
  ‍
• Utility-Grade Metering: Both models feature utility-grade metering with 1% accuracy, meaning energy output is measured to within ±1% of what is actually delivered to the vehicle. Accurate metering supports revenue-generating programs and compliance with standards like CTEP.
  ‍
• Flexible Connectivity: The FR-48 and FR-80 are built for reliable network communications, with each unit supporting multiple connectivity methods encompassing cellular, Wi-Fi, mesh networking, and Ethernet.
  ‍
• Customizable Screen: A 4.3-inch outdoor-rated color touch screen can be configured with branding or site-specific content, while the RGB LED ring provides at-a-glance charger status indication.
  ‍
• Cloud-Configured and OCPP-Ready: Remote configuration, monitoring, and software updates via a cloud-based portal, with full OCPP 1.6J support for easy integration with the PowerFlex charging network.
  ‍
• Plug & Charge Capability: Both models meet rigorous commercial electric vehicle service equipment standards and are ISO 15118-hardware ready for future Plug & Charge functionality.
  ‍
• Seamless Onboarding via FractalCloud: FractalEV’s cloud software improves commissioning and asset management outcomes for our customers and allows chargers to be remotely preconfigured to work with PowerFlex.

Compatible With the PowerFlex Network

The FR-48 and FR-80 are fully integrated with the PowerFlex X™ intelligent energy management platform, enabling site hosts to benefit from our patented Adaptive Load Management® (ALM) technology.

ALM dynamically allocates available power across all active chargers in real time, preventing costly peak demand charges and allowing operators to deploy more charging ports without expensive electrical infrastructure upgrades. For multifamily properties and fleet operators in particular, this means more vehicles charged per dollar spent on both hardware and electricity.

For drivers, the experience is equally seamless. The PowerFlex App lets users locate available FractalEV chargers, initiate sessions via RFID or QR code, and monitor charging progress in real time. Combined with the FR-48 and FR-80’s cloud-based management portal and OCPP integration, site operators gain a transparent view of their entire charging deployment — from energy consumption and session history to charger health and uptime.
