Engineered for high altitude, CCS2 standardization, and heavy-duty operation across Santiago and the Antofagasta mining corridors.
Chile stands as the undisputed pioneer of public and industrial transit electrification in Latin America. Guided by the ambitious Estrategia Nacional de Electromovilidad, Chile aims for 100% of its urban public transport to be emission-free by 2035, and 100% of light and medium commercial vehicles by 2045. The Santiago Metropolitan Region (RED Mobility) already hosts one of the largest electric bus fleets outside of China, demanding robust, high-performance DC fast charging solutions. However, deploying charging infrastructure in Chile presents unique geographic and industrial challenges, from the coastal environments of Valparaíso to the extremely high-altitude and dust-heavy mine sites in the Atacama Desert.
To successfully integrate massive EV fleets, Chilean industrial players, fleet operators, and public works concessions require DC Fast Charging stations that conform to local regulations (SEC certification protocols) and standard European interfaces (primarily CCS2 Type 2). Reliability at high altitudes (>3,000 meters above sea level) requires chargers with derating tolerance, high-efficiency thermal management, and reliable remote OCPP 1.6J/2.0.1 integrations to interface with local grid management systems.
The global EV infrastructure market is transitioning rapidly from basic 50kW chargers to Ultra-Fast Charger Stacks ranging from 360kW to 1000kW+, and Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) designed for heavy shipping and mining fleets. Key trends driving this shift include:
Module Power Efficiency
High-Altitude Operating Range
Smart Integration Ready
Harsh Environment Protection
Shanghai Mida Cable Group Ltd. operates through its wholly owned subsidiaries: Shanghai Mida EV Power Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Mida EV Power Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Mida New Energy Co., Ltd.
We are a vertically integrated manufacturer specializing in EV cables, high-power DC connectors, and utility-scale fast-charging stations. Our cable division manufactures a comprehensive range of EV charging cables, including 16A–80A J1772, 16A–63A IEC 62196-2 Type 2, and high-current DC fast charging cables (CCS1 up to 500A, CCS2 up to 1000A, CHAdeMO up to 300A, GBT up to 1000A, and NACS connectors up to 600A). Our power systems division, MIDA EV Power, produces 7kW–50kW mobile chargers, 360kW–1440kW split-type DC fast chargers, and smart energy storage charging systems.
Through our dedicated power module division, MIDA New Energy, we research and manufacture the core heart of DC chargers: high-efficiency 20kW-60kW standard air-cooled modules, 40kW-125kW liquid-cooled modules, and bidirectional V2G power units. This allows MIDA to control the entire manufacturing process, guaranteeing reliable quality and cost-competitiveness.
Vertically integrated systems covering EV cable production, component assembly, and mega-power DC charging stations.
Deploying infrastructure in Chile requires significant initial capital expenditure (CAPEX). Sourcing DC charger systems from MIDA's advanced Chinese manufacturing facilities allows operators to maximize ROI through several key advantages:
Supply Chain Integration: Because MIDA manufactures the power modules, the liquid-cooled cables, and the structural enclosures in-house, we eliminate the 15-20% margin stack typical of Western system integrators who assemble parts from various third-party vendors. This ensures seamless hardware-firmware integration, leading to higher reliability and lower maintenance costs (OPEX).
Mass Scale Production: China’s robust industrial ecosystem guarantees rapid component sourcing and strict production schedules. MIDA's factories run automated testing cycles, chamber stress tests for extreme climates, and comprehensive quality control processes, ensuring that even large-scale, split-system commercial orders are delivered in weeks rather than months.
E-bus pantograph systems and heavy-duty logistics depot charging developments.
In contrast to classic plug-in charging systems, e-bus pantographs allow hands-free, high-power energy transfer at high voltages, significantly optimizing bus schedules and fleet utilization rates.
The charging time depends on the battery capacity and the station's output power. Using MIDA's 600kW split pantograph systems, transit buses can charge from 20% to 80% in under 12 minutes.
Installing a "Pantograph Up" system requires precise structural coordination, high-power grid integration, and alignment testing. MIDA provides field support to ensure perfect deployment.
Complete lineup of CCS2, Liquid-Cooled, and Pantograph DC chargers optimized for the Chilean mining, transit, and logistics sectors.
As Chile's grid capacity faces regional imbalances—with abundant solar energy generated in the north (Atacama) and high industrial consumption centered around Santiago—smart charging and energy storage systems (BESS) are becoming essential. By utilizing bidirectional V2G power modules, commercial fleets can act as virtual power plants (VPP), feeding power back into the grid during peak periods to generate auxiliary revenue. Additionally, integrating solar generation with battery storage systems ensures that remote highway charging stations can remain operational independently of grid constraints, paving the way for sustainable long-haul electric transport.
