EV charging behemoth ABB E-mobility<\/a> offers a range of EVSE systems to address use cases of all shapes and sizes. The company\u2019s latest offering is the OM X-Series, a distributed charging system designed to provide a single coordinated site architecture for the largest and highest-power charging sites. The system can scale from 800 kW to 10 MW and beyond, across more than 100 charge points.<\/p>\n

ABB E-mobility calls the X-Series the third step in its architecture progression. The A-Series<\/a>, launched in 2024, is a line of all-in-one chargers. The OM M-Series<\/a>, launched in April 2026, extended the same architecture into site-level split systems. The new X-Series \u201cadvances this architecture to the highest-performance applications: sustained duty cycles, megawatt-scale site topologies, and multiple mission profiles within one shared power system.\u201d<\/p>\n

As ABB explains, megawatt charging sites may sustain continuous duty for years, so thermal management is critical to maintaining efficiency and reliability specifications. The X-Series features an end-to-end liquid-cooled power path: power cabinet with integrated cooling unit; proprietary liquid-cooled power modules; and liquid-cooled cables that carry thermal management through every conversion stage.<\/p>\n

The X-Series site architecture consists of three integrated elements. A site-level DC bus forms a shared power spine across which cabinets and storage assets coordinate, and enables capacity to move in real time to match demand. The power conversion layer consists of liquid-cooled silicon carbide modules. Battery energy storage connects directly on the DC bus, a feature that ABB says improves round-trip efficiency by more than five percentage points compared to AC-coupled systems, and enables peak shaving and demand management without additional conversion stages. The architecture is also designed to support vehicle-to-grid energy flows.<\/p>\n

The initial X-Series configuration consists of two 800 kW cabinets connected through a DC bus, and supports up to 24 charge outputs. ABB E-mobility can extend the system to multi-megawatt scale on this architecture.<\/p>\n

The OM M-Series and X-Series share a common dispenser portfolio, allowing sites to begin with M-Series chargers and extend to X-Series topology as demand grows.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharging is moving toward mission profiles where systems must operate under sustained load for years, not just peak moments,\u201d said Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility. \u201cAt that level of utilization, thermal stability and energy efficiency are not specifications\u2014they are the economics. The X-Series is built for that standard from the architecture up.\u201d<\/p>\n
