Integrated heat pump and EV charging solution
9th June 2025
IRELAND: Mitsubishi Electric has partnered with Irish tech company EVHACS to launch what is claimed to be the world’s first integrated heat pump and electric vehicle charger.
Designed for the residential and commercial market, it is said that the integrated system will allow homeowners, property developers, and commercial operators to simplify their infrastructure by combining two energy technologies in one.
The result will be a reduction in installation complexity, faster deployment, lower total system costs, and minimal impact on building aesthetics, the developers say.
One of the most significant advantages of this integrated solution is said to be its ability to dynamically balance electrical loads between the heat pump and the EV charger. This ensures the system never draws more power than the available supply can handle, helping to prevent overloads or the need for costly electrical panel or grid upgrades. It also supports participation in demand-side management and future smart grid applications.
Combining renewable heating, cooling and smart EV charging in a single unit, only one electrical connection is required. In addition, eliminating the need for separate EV chargers and additional cabling or civil works, the combined solution reduces both upfront installation and long-term maintenance costs.
The system includes intelligent controls that allow users to manage both their heating, cooling and EV charging from a single interface.
Smart scheduling and connectivity features help optimise energy consumption based on tariffs, occupancy, or energy demand—maximising comfort and convenience while reducing energy waste.
“Customers are looking for smarter, simpler ways to adopt low-carbon technologies. By partnering with EVHACS, we’re creating a solution that delivers on both convenience and sustainability. It’s a major leap forward in how we think about the connected home and workplace,” commented Mitsubishi Electric Ireland president Ciaran Moody.
“We’ve always believed that heating and mobility infrastructure should evolve together,” said Jeff Aherne, CEO of EVHACS. “Our partnership with Mitsubishi Electric proves that bold, collaborative innovation can deliver smarter, greener solutions that genuinely move the needle on climate action.”
