Advanced Heat Pump and Electric Vehicle Charger Combine for Optimum Energy Savings
Mitsubishi Electric and Evhacs Launch Integrated Heat Pump and EV Charger System
Property developers are now able to implement essential technologies for heating, cooling, and electric vehicle (EV) charging in a single, compact, and cost-effective unit. The integrated heat pump and EV charger system, jointly developed by Tokyo-based Mitsubishi Electric and Ireland-based Evhacs, offers maximum energy efficiency and simplified infrastructure.
The system merges Mitsubishi Electric's cutting-edge heat pump and air conditioning systems with Evhacs' patented EV charging technology. This integration results in reduced installation complexity, faster deployment, lower total system costs, and minimal visual impact on buildings.
The heat pump technologies integrated are from Mitsubishi’s Ecodan, Mr. Slim, and M heat pump series, modified by Evhacs to enable dual-purpose operation without loss of performance or efficiency. The EV charger component is available in two versions: a 1-phase 7.4 kW or a 3-phase 22 kW device, with a tethered charging cable directly attached to the heat pump, maintaining sleek aesthetics via a small junction box.
By combining HVAC and EV charging infrastructure in one system, property developers can simplify electrical and physical installations, reducing costs and expediting project timelines. The sophisticated load management avoids electrical overload and supports integration with home energy management systems and smart grids, enabling future scalability and sustainable building solutions.
The integrated system is a single, compact unit capable of both heating and cooling spaces and charging electric vehicles. It operates on one electrical connection, intelligently sharing the available electrical capacity between heating, cooling, and EV charging to prevent overloads, avoid costly grid upgrades, and maintain optimal performance during peak demand.
The system supports dynamic load balancing, demand-side management, and future smart grid applications, enhancing overall energy efficiency and future-proofing building infrastructure. It lowers total system costs and has minimal impact on building aesthetics, making it an attractive solution for modern property developers aligning with sustainability goals and infrastructure simplification.
