NEXPHASE™ Smart EV Switchgear
NEXPHASE™ Smart EV Switchgear
The NexPhase™ Smart EV Switchgear is an all-in-one switchgear enclosure containing the entire infrastructure required between the utility service and up to four Level 3 DC fast chargers. Unlike any switchgear of its kind, the NexPhase™ Smart EV Switchgear features cutting-edge grid intelligence and EV charger remote monitoring and control.
As a result of the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program that provides funding for strategically deploying electric vehicle charging infrastructure along major U.S. highways, many fuel and convenience retail marketers are looking to incorporate EV chargers into their existing sites. NexPhase™ is an all-in-one, NEVI-focused intelligent switchgear solution that enables site owners to maintain higher charger uptimes while minimizing installation, maintenance, and operating costs.

A switchgear is a critical component of a DC fast charger station's infrastructure. Tasked with receiving, distributing, and protecting the site’s power, switchgear is typically composed of a series of electrical panels. Traditionally, these post-and-frame switchgear systems have been comprised of multiple mixed-manufacturer electrical panels that are wired together on-site during installation. NexPhase™ is a Buy America Compliant Component that provides an integrated, single cabinet, ready-to-install solution to minimize the complexity and effort required to install a switchgear that fulfills NEVI requirements.
SINGLE ENCLOSURE
NexPhase™ combines a Current Transformer (CT) cabinet, 480 VAC 3-Phase breaker panel, 240/120 VAC single phase breaker panel, and transformer into a single enclosure.
RAPID DEPLOYMENT
Eliminate the additional resources, time, and supply chain difficulties often associated with designing and sourcing a mixed-manufacturer post-and-frame switchgear systems.
ACCELERATE ROLL OUT
All internal components come pre-installed and pre-wired. With a shortage of qualified, veteran electricians available, NexPhase™ makes it easy to execute more EV charger projects with existing workforces.

In addition to consolidating switchgear components into a single footprint, NexPhase™ Smart EV Switchgear features advanced intelligence:
Utility Power, Switchgear, and EV Charger Monitoring
Integrated 4G/LTE Cellular Modem Communication
Remote Web Interface for Monitoring, Control, & Reporting
Remote EV Charger Power Cycling
E-Stop Integration Capable
EV Charger Crash Detection / Flammable Vapor Monitoring Capable
Integrated Pest & Rodent Intrusion Mitigation
Flood Detection with Automated Shutdown

NexPhase™ securely communicates with the UNITE™ user interface, providing user-friendly access to monitoring information including transaction analysis, energy consumption, charge duration, EV charger state, utility power monitoring, and remote control capabilities. Combined, the monitoring information can help operators reach the 97% uptime requirement set by NEVI. These data gathering and control capabilities may also be integrated into existing software platforms.
