data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Thanks to an innovative cooling concept, the new plug enables charging powers in the megawatt range &#8211; while at the same time increasing service life. Heinemann recalled the company&#8217;s pioneering role: &#8220;We developed the world&#8217;s first liquid-cooled charging cable back in 2013. Today, we have the largest installed base of such systems in the world &#8211; this experience was the basis for the development of the new generation of our High Power Charging charging cable in the megawatt range.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The new generation not only impresses with its performance, but also with its optimized handling: With a 20% reduction in weight compared to the previous model, the connector is significantly more ergonomic. Phoenix Contact is also setting new standards in terms of maintenance: mating face frames and contacts can now be replaced without opening the housing &#8211; this saves time and reduces operating costs in a sustainable way.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81240b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"81240b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/00204560_full_b1000.png\" class=\"attachment-1536x1536 size-1536x1536 wp-image-7913\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/00204560_full_b1000.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/00204560_full_b1000-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/00204560_full_b1000-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/00204560_full_b1000-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c45d65 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1c45d65\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6138b11 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6138b11\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4998f46 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4998f46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Technology meets sustainability: charging infrastructure for the All Electric Society <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fcfd6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4fcfd6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Phoenix Contact is committed to accelerating the global shift towards sustainable mobility.
