TMEVnet participates in CES 2026

TMEVnet, a startup specializing in EV charger cooling systems (CEO Hyoungnam Cho), announced on the 26th that at CES 2026 it showcased a solution that directly manages heat at the source—controlling heat generated in connectors, DC pins, and cables, which are the biggest challenges in ultra-high-power charging—enabling stable continuous operation even under megawatt-level ultra-high current conditions.

At CES, TMEVnet held technical meetings with global charging infrastructure and component companies, expanding practical discussions on application conditions and validation methods.

In Europe, the electrification of large-scale mobility—such as heavy-duty commercial vehicles, electric ships, UAM, and construction equipment—is rapidly accelerating, driving charging power toward megawatt levels. As current increases significantly, it has been pointed out that conventional chiller- and fluid-circulation-based cooling methods struggle to reliably control heat generated simultaneously in cables and terminals (connectors and DC pins). Under high-current operation, heat often concentrates at connector interfaces as well as cables, leading to output derating, increased contact resistance, component degradation, and higher maintenance costs—making it a critical factor affecting high-power charging reliability.

To address these limitations, TMEVnet introduced a thermal management architecture and control logic that directly targets heat sources, enabling simultaneous management of heat generated in connectors, DC pins, and cables. This approach highlights the potential to secure stable continuous operation under megawatt-level ultra-high current conditions. At CES 2026, the company engaged with global partners on topics including continuous operation conditions, ambient temperature requirements, current scaling, and mass production supply systems. Based on these discussions, TMEVnet is refining validation criteria and defining the scope of joint development.

Prior to CES, the company had been preparing for entry into the European market through a partnership agreement with Germany’s Prettl Group. Following CES, further discussions with key European charging industry stakeholders visiting Korea helped refine technical direction, validation conditions, and collaboration scope. Based on this, TMEVnet is advancing its initial supply and product roadmap for the European market, targeting a 600A dual-channel product for initial deployment, with plans to commercialize an 800A dual-channel product in the second half of 2026. The company is also enhancing validation systems tailored to partner requirements while preparing for mass production, aiming for commercialization in the latter half of 2026. With a focus on the European market, TMEVnet plans to expand product applications and achieve approximately KRW 400 billion in revenue by 2030.

CEO Hyoungnam Cho stated, “As charging power reaches megawatt levels with the electrification of large-scale mobility, controlling heat generated simultaneously in cables, connectors, and DC pins has become a critical challenge. Based on our direct heat management technology and control logic focused on heat sources, we will secure stable continuous operation and accelerate entry into the European market with initial 600A dual-channel supply, followed by the launch of an 800A dual-channel product in the second half of 2026.”
