What EVTEC does
EVTEC AG is a Swiss developer and manufacturer of modular DC fast charging systems for electric vehicles, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Kriens-Obernau, Switzerland, with a German subsidiary (EVTEC GmbH) in Geretsried. The company positions itself as a Global Technology Enabler, selling turnkey DC chargers, white-label hardware, and licensing its proprietary ECP4 control software and MSI (Multi Standard Interface) modular hardware platform to partners worldwide. Its installed base spans more than 8,000 charging stations globally, often deployed under customer branding rather than EVTEC's own logo.
The product portfolio is built on a modular, scalable architecture spanning 20kW portable units (move&charge) up to the 500kW corretto6 HPC power cabinet, including the bricco corretto system for depots, ristretto&charge standalone chargers, cappuccino&charge compact units, and the crema&charge wallbox (with a bidirectional V2G/V2H variant). The stack supports all major standards (CHAdeMO, CCS1, CCS2, GB/T) and integrates dynamic load management, Plug&Charge (ISO 15118-2), in-charger payment (ep2/Worldline S1U2), and grid-code compliant bidirectional operation (VDE-AR-N-4105). EVTEC also licenses ECP4 software, MSI PCBs, electronic modules, system documentation, and full blueprints, and provides engineering, certification (Eichrecht, UL, Plug&Charge), and production support.
Revenue is generated through four streams: hardware sales (proprietary DC chargers), licensing and technology transfer (software, PCBs, blueprints), engineering and certification services, and production support for licensees. Customers include charging network operators (GOFAST, Migrol, Agrola), fleet and logistics operators (Galliker, Stuber, Mobility Switzerland), public transport (BLT), energy utilities and storage integrators (CKW, sun2wheel), and other charging station manufacturers via white-label and licensing arrangements. Following the June 2022 divestiture of GOFAST shares, EVTEC has concentrated on DC fast charger development, production, and international licensing — most recently formalizing that push through an EV2Grid licensing partnership and a January 2026 CEO transition.

EVTEC product offering
Product offeringCore offering
EVTEC develops, manufactures, and licenses turnkey DC fast charging systems and proprietary control software (ECP4) and modular hardware (MSI platform) for electric vehicles. Its product portfolio spans from portable 20kW units to 500kW HPC power cabinets, deployed in over 8,000 charging stations globally, often under customer branding via a white-label/OEM and licensing model.
Product overview
EVTEC develops and manufactures DC fast charging stations primarily under a white-label/OEM model, with products installed in over 8,000 charging stations globally — mostly under customers' own branding. The product portfolio is organized around scalable, modular architecture centered on the proprietary ECP4 software platform and MSI (Multi Standard Interface) hardware module. The hardware lineup ranges from the 500kW caffé corretto system (the flagship, with Corretto6 power cabinet supporting up to 6 dispensers) down to compact solutions: the bricco corretto system (ceiling/wall/floor-mounted for buses and trucks), ristretto&charge (standalone up to 384kW), cappuccino&charge (100kW compact), crema&charge (50kW wallbox with bidirectional variant), and move&charge (portable 20kW for workshops/fleets). EVTEC also licenses its technology — ECP4 software, MSI PCBs, engineering support, certification support, system design, and production — enabling partners to manufacture or customize EVTEC-based charging solutions under their own brand. A new corretto6 system (500kW) was announced in 2025 and the crema&charge bidirectional (V2H/V2G, 22kW) was launched in mid-2025.
