Porsche Engineering, the technology arm of Germany-based Porsche SE, has introduced a modular high-voltage chargepoint management system (CMS) aimed at supporting automakers with global EV charging integration.

The system focuses on intelligent charge planning and operational safety, enhancing both AC and DC charging capabilities.

The CMS comprises six programme modules, each performing specific tasks. High-voltage charging management opens vehicle charging ports and enables electronics, while the intelligent charging function manages charge planning, optimising charging speed and timing. High-level communication authenticates vehicles under standard protocols, and the control and display protocol relays charging status to mobile devices. Value-added services enable standard domestic charging via in-cable control devices, while the CMS safety function automatically detects malfunctions and switches the system to a safe state.

The system accounts for grid usage, availability of clean energy, and vehicle-specific requirements. AC and DC charging powers range from low-output domestic setups to several hundred kilowatts per hour. A compatibility mode addresses communication inconsistencies between vehicles and charging infrastructure.

Project lead Narendra Kumar Boorlagada noted that one of Porsche Engineering’s most important goals was flexibility, ensuring the system supports all international charging standards. He highlighted that the company has implemented a compatibility mode to maintain basic functionality even when protocol standards vary.

While Porsche continues to invest in global EV infrastructure, it plans to close around 200 proprietary charging stations in China by March 2026, shifting toward partnerships with external operators. This reflects the company’s strategic approach to global EV supply chain management.
