Co-created with partners and clients across the industry, GUARDiON is designed to protect critical components, reduce intervention and turn protection into operational reliability. Global reveal: 23 June 2026 at Power2Drive Europe in Munich.
Hellonext today announces GUARDiON, its new EV charger purpose-built for demanding public charging environments, where uptime is critical and every failure has a direct business impact. GUARDiON will be revealed on 23 June 2026 at Power2Drive Europe, Booth C 6.178, Messe München.
Public charging infrastructure today fails for the same reasons, over and over: cable theft, rough use, break-ins and extreme weather. These are not technical issues — they are business issues. Every hour offline means lost revenue. Every intervention raises operational cost. Every failure erodes user trust.
GUARDiON was engineered as the answer. Its protected cabinet architecture reduces exposure from the outside in, shielding critical components and limiting vulnerable access points. A single anti-vandal lock with auditable access, internal hinges, no visible screws, replaceable side panels and a hidden integrated antenna make the cabinet harder to attack and easier to maintain. The result: fewer interventions, more uptime.
Built for the field, not the lab.
Daily field use sits at the core of the GUARDiON design language. An integrated cable management system, 90° placeholders for easier handling of cables above 200A, mechanical buttons for user-friendly operation in extreme weather, and a centered, ADA-compliant accessible interface make day-to-day operation safer, faster and more reliable. The central display sits behind protected screen glass; clear socket status, vertical charging percentage LED indicators communicate live state at a glance. A dedicated cable cut protection system with a built-in audible alarm provides active defence against the most common form of vandalism.
Co-created with the industry.
GUARDiON is the result of a long collaboration between Hellonext, its partners and its clients. The platform was designed and engineered by Hellonext, with continuous input from operators running real public networks in the field. Every design decision serves the same purpose: protection that drives performance.
“In public charging, performance is not only about power. It is about what keeps working. GUARDiON is our answer — engineered outside-in, with the partners and clients who know exactly what it takes to keep a station online.”
— Hugo Rigor, General Manager at Hellonext and Head of Energy Transition at Petrotec Group.
Meet GUARDiON at Power2Drive Europe 2026.
Hellonext will unveil GUARDiON to the public on Tuesday, 23 June 2026 at 11:00 AM at Power2Drive Europe, Booth C 6.178, Messe München. The booth will showcase GUARDiON’s protected architecture and operational features throughout the three days of the event (23 to 25 June).
The launch opens The Fall of E-Villains — Hellonext’s narrative for the platform, naming the four most common threats to public charging (Copperhead, Brute, Intruder and Corroder) and the engineering response GUARDiON brings to each.
