[QUOTE]We were excitted when ChargePoint unveiled its latest charging station technology earlier this year. It’s a modular system called Express Plus and it can enable a record-breaking charge rate of up to 400 kW.

Well, the company announced today the first major deployment of those stations as InstaVolt in the UK announced that they signed a contract to purchase “more than 200 ChargePoint rapid charge systems.”

While the Express Plus can go up to 400 kW charge rate, their modular design enables station operators to install only the basic with a lower 125 kW charge rate and upgrade as electric cars with higher capacities are introduced.[/QUOTE]

No cars on the market can actually accept the higher charge rate except for Tesla's, which don't have an appropriate adapter to make use of these yet. Still good for the future though.
