The Elli Flexpole charging station delivers up to 150 kW DC fast charging from the 3-phase supply you already have. No trenching, no transformer, no years-long grid wait: installed and charging in around 12 weeks.
Backed by Volkswagen Group · One local accredited installer · Charging in weeks, not years
A new high-power grid connection often runs into six figures before the charger itself: transformer stations, new cabling, the lot.
DNO lead times for new connections are measured in months or years. The project stalls before it starts.
Trenching and groundworks mean tearing up your forecourt or car park, lost takings and disruption while it all happens.
The Flexpole connects to your existing 400 V three-phase supply, anything from 16 to 63 A. A standard low-voltage connection, not a new grid line.
A 160 kWh usable battery charges quietly and continuously from that small feed, storing energy ready for the next vehicle.
The Flexpole releases that stored energy as up to 150 kW DC, charging two vehicles at once. Up to 250 kW across the system.
You set the per-kWh price. The unit fills up slowly on cheaper power and sells it as premium rapid charging: margin on every session, from day one.
Drivers spend 15 to 40 minutes on site while they charge. That is dwell time at your shop, cafe or till, not at a competitor.
Charge the 160 kWh battery when energy is cheapest, then turn the grid connection down — or completely off — when prices spike. No peak fees, no buying at the top.
Got panels? Store surplus generation in the Flexpole and sell it to drivers at charging rates, instead of exporting it for pennies.
