Scale Charging Infrastructure
Vector’s vSECC.InPlug and Smart Power Distribution enable scalable charging architectures that separate communication from power electronics, supporting cable runs of up to 100 meters between off-site stored power and the charging point. Available power is allocated dynamically across charging points rather than reserved per port, with vCharM coordinating charging, load and energy management across the full site.
What Constrains Your Charging Architecture?
Cable Length
Move PLC into the connector to overcome distance constraints between charging point and power electronics.
Power Electronics
Distribute available power dynamically across charging points instead of assigning fixed capacity to each outlet.
Available Space
Combine flexible charging points at parking and off-site power electronics in cabinets to achieve fully modular layouts.
Energy Limits
Coordinate charging processes across vehicles, charging points and available site capacity.
Move Communication into the Connector
Charging architectures can be limited by communication and cable length constraints that prevent charging points from being placed far from power electronics. vSECC.InPlug is designed to work seamlessly with vSECC and relocates PLC directly into the connector. This enables cable lengths of up to 100 meters between off-site power electronics and the charging point, combining unified control with connector-side communication. The resulting architecture allows flexible charging station layouts, placing connectors close to individual parking positions while keeping power electronics off-site in cabinets or containers.
Use Available Power Where It Is Needed
Fixed power allocation assigns the same maximum capacity to every charging point whether a vehicle is charging or not. Smart Power Distribution dynamically allocates available power across charging points based on actual demand. It reduces idle power electronics and improves utilization of shared power modules, allowing site operators to serve more vehicles with the same power infrastructure.
Smart Power Distribution currently requires vSECC to run. It is suited to sites with multiple charging points connected to shared power electronics where fixed per-point allocation would leave capacity unused.
Flexible Charging Points with Off-Site Power Electronics
Fleet, depot and HPC sites often need modular charging layouts that can scale with rising demand. Combining vSECC.InPlug, Smart Power Distribution and vSECC enables flexible charging points with off-site power electronics and smart power distribution in a single architecture. Charging points can be placed near parking spaces while power electronics remain in off-site cabinets, and available power is distributed dynamically across active charging connections.
This combination reduces per-point hardware complexity. vSECC.InPlug handles connector-side communication without requiring full controller hardware at each charging point, while Smart Power Distribution and vSECC manage off-site power electronics and allocation from the central location.

Coordinate the Charging Site Layer Above the Hardware Architecture
Charging sites rarely run a single hardware vendor across all charging points. vCharM is designed to manage charging stations from different manufacturers, giving operators a unified layer for charging, load and energy management regardless of the underlying hardware setup. It coordinates which vehicles charge, when and at which power level, based on operational requirements and site power capacity, and scales from a handful of charging points to large depot or HPC deployments with many active vehicles and complex power constraints. vSECC.InPlug, vSECC and Smart Power Distribution define the hardware architecture layer, while vCharM manages the full site above it.
