New addition to the CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 family provides a fit-for-purpose charging solution for Germany's regulated public charging market

Frankfurt, Germany, 8 September 2026: CTEK today officially launched CHARGESTORM® CONNECTED 3e (CC3e), its new Eichrecht-compliant AC EV charger developed specifically for public charging infrastructure in Germany, at Automechanika Frankfurt 2026.

Built on CTEK's proven CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 platform, CC3e combines dual-outlet charging with certified energy measurement, transparent billing information and a user-friendly touchscreen.

The launch reflects CTEK's continued focus on expanding its charging portfolio with products developed for specific markets and applications. The CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 family allows customers to select a fit-for-purpose solution based on where and how charging will be used.

Developed for Germany

CC3e complies with German Eichrecht requirements for legal metering and billing in public EV charging. Its seven-inch touchscreen displays real-time charging status, energy consumption and pricing, giving drivers clear visibility throughout their charging session.

Dynamic QR codes generated directly on the charger support secure ad hoc payments while reducing the risks associated with static QR-code stickers, including tampering and fraudulent redirects.

Two Type 2 outlets each provide up to 22 kW AC charging, allowing two vehicles to charge simultaneously. CC3e also supports RFID, OCPP and AutoCharge authentication and is hardware-ready for future Plug & Charge and Vehicle-to-Grid capabilities.

Already gaining traction in Germany

Ahead of its official launch, CC3e has already been successfully installed at public and commercial locations in Germany.

CTEK is working with European parking operators including APCOA to expand reliable and accessible charging at locations where people work, shop, visit and stay. CC3e chargers are already operating or being installed at APCOA Germany sites in Stuttgart, Berlin and Augsburg. Following Automechanika, APCOA will also begin installing 11 CC3e chargers in the parking garage at the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre.

Designed to scale

CC3e integrates with CTEK's NANOGRID™ dynamic load-balancing system, which intelligently distributes available power across a site. The system can support up to 1,000 charging points, making CC3e suitable for projects ranging from individual public sites to larger charging networks.

Power and network daisy-chaining help simplify installation, while a local web interface allows installers to configure charger settings and backend connectivity.

"Charging requirements vary between markets, locations and users. Expanding the CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 family allows us to provide products that are genuinely fit for purpose while building on one proven and reliable platform.

CC3e has been developed specifically for Germany, combining Eichrecht-compliant metering with transparent user information, secure payments and the scalability operators need. The successful deployments already under way with APCOA, together with the forthcoming installation at the Frankfurt Exhibition Centre, demonstrate the confidence customers are placing in CC3e."

— Henk Lubberts, President, Professional Division at CTEK

CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3e is available with dual 22 kW AC outlets and wall, pole or roof-mounting options.

Falun, Sweden – CTEK, a global leader in battery charging and electric vehicle charging, has entered into a new agreement with the Swedish Ski Association to provide EV charging infrastructure at Riksskidstadion in Falun, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. Under the agreement, CTEK is providing charging solutions from its CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 3 (CC3) product family. The project is being delivered alongside installation partner Kalema e-Mobility, which is carrying out the installations at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office. The chargers will support electric passenger cars and support vehicles used by athletes, coaches and staff, as well as other electric vehicles operated by the Swedish Ski Association. They will provide reliable and convenient charging when vehicles are at Riksskidstadion, Sweden’s Alpine National Arena or the Swedish Ski Association’s Åre office, supporting the Association’s continued transition towards more sustainable transport. For the Swedish Ski Association, the drive to constantly improve goes beyond athletic performance. The Association believes it is equally important to keep improving the smart, climate-friendly solutions that support its everyday operations. “We are delighted to work with the Swedish Ski Association as its EV charging partner. Elite sport depends not only on what happens on the track or slopes, but also on the people, vehicles and infrastructure working behind the scenes. By providing our CC3 charging technology and working alongside Kalema e-Mobility, we can help support the Association’s everyday operations and its transition towards more electrified transport,” said Johanna Mogren Sundqvist, Sales Manager EVSE at CTEK. Developed in Sweden for professional EV charging, CC3 can be adapted to different organisations, vehicle requirements and parking environments. The EV chargers can provide up to 22 kW per outlet and support connectivity and load balancing. This allows the available electrical capacity to be used efficiently while enabling the charging infrastructure to expand as the Swedish Ski Association’s requirements grow. "For us, this investment is about creating the conditions for a smarter and more sustainable operation. Our athletes, coaches and staff travel extensively throughout the year, and reliable charging infrastructure is becoming an increasingly important part of our everyday operations. CTEK combines proven technology with strong local roots in Dalarna, making them a natural supplier as we continue to develop our organisation and reduce the environmental impact of our transport solutions," said Johan Gräfnings, Swedish Ski Association. The agreement connects CTEK’s home in Falun, Dalarna, with the Swedish Ski Association’s activities at Sweden’s Alpine National Arena and its Åre office in Jämtland. For CTEK, it is an opportunity to support the Swedish Ski Association and its national teams with technology that makes a practical difference behind the scenes. The collaboration will also give CTEK agreed brand visibility across the Swedish Ski Association’s activities.
