Autel DS480 Distribution Cabinet Key Features.

Ultra-High Power 480 kW Fast Charging

The DS480 delivers up to 480 kW of DC output power, enabling ultra-fast charging for modern EVs. With support for up to eight simultaneous outputs and peak efficiency of 96%, it maximizes site throughput while minimizing energy loss for operators.

Flexible Multi-Dispenser Architecture

A single DS480 cabinet can power a wide range of dispenser configurations — including liquid-cooled DT800 and air-cooled DT500 dispensers, with both single and dual CCS2 charging handles. This modularity allows operators to scale from 1 to 8 charge points from a single cabinet.

Advanced Cooling for Extreme Performance

The system supports liquid-cooled charging handles capable of delivering up to 780 A peak, as well as high-performance air-cooled dispensers. Its engineered airflow channels ensure optimal thermal management, enabling safe operation from –35°C to +55°C.

Smart Connectivity & OCPP Compatibility

DS480 integrates seamlessly with backend systems through Ethernet, 4G/5G, Wi-Fi, and supports OCPP 1.6J with optional OCPP 2.0.1, enabling remote diagnostics, OTA updates, monitoring, and billing integrations through Autel’s cloud or third-party platforms.

Robust Safety, Reliability & Protection

Engineered for high-uptime environments, the DS480 includes built-in protection features such as overcurrent, over-temperature, surge, undervoltage, tilt, access protection, and optional internal RCDs. The cabinet meets IP54/IK10 for harsh outdoor conditions and includes an emergency stop.

Intuitive User Experience & Payment Options

With an 8-inch full-HD touchscreen, RFID reader, optional credit-card terminals, and support for AutoCharge, Plug & Charge, QR code payments, app control, the system offers a seamless and accessible user experience for both public and private charging environments.

High-Power Flexibility

Autel DS480 Distribution Cabinet

High-Power Flexibility.

The DS480’s modular design allows operators to scale charging power according to demand. Each 40 kW module contributes to a total capacity of up to 480 kW, enabling configurations that meet diverse site requirements – from small fleet operations to high-capacity public charging hubs.

Its dual 500 A/630 A outputs ensure consistent, powerful performance even under heavy load. With the ability to serve up to eight CCS2 connectors, the DS480 offers true flexibility for multi-vehicle operations without compromising charging speed.

Autel DS480 Distribution Cabinet

Built for Efficiency and Reliability.

Beyond raw power, the DS480 stands out for its operational intelligence and robust design. Through Autel Cloud, performance data and potential faults are analysed remotely, reducing the need for on-site maintenance. This connectivity ensures maximum uptime and smooth operation across all locations.

Constructed with air-cooling technology, MCCB + RCD protection, and a sturdy 500 kg frame, the DS480 meets IP54 and IK10 standards for safety and durability. Its quiet operation and advanced connectivity make it an ideal solution for modern charging infrastructures that prioritise both performance and reliability.

Built for Efficiency and Reliability

Dynamic Power Sharing

Autel MaxiCloud Digital Load Balancing.

Autel’s Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) ensures chargers can dynamically share power according to demand. If two vehicles are using the same charger, power output is cut in half for each vehicle, ensuring safe power management for the network. If more than two vehicles are charging, power is shared further among the chargers in use.
