Mitsubishi Electric has formed a partnership with Irish technology firm EVHACS to develop the world’s first integrated heat pump and electric vehicle charger.
The collaboration combines the Japanese company’s heat pump and air conditioning systems with EVHACS’ patented EV charging technology, creating a single, compact unit capable of charging EVs along with heating and cooling.
An advantage of this integrated solution is 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.
Ciaran Moody, president Mitsubishi Electric Ireland, said, “We are proud that our Irish team is at the forefront of this innovation – pioneering the future of smart, connected homes and businesses by combining two critical technologies into one intelligent system.
“This solution reflects Mitsubishi Electric’s commitment to driving the energy transition through practical, scalable innovation.
“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.”
Jeff Aherne, CEO of EVHACS said, “With Mitsubishi Electric, we’re making it easier than ever for people to decarbonise their homes, retail or commercial buildings, and vehicles – all in one step.
“We’ve always believed that heating and mobility infrastructure should evolve together.
“Our partnership with Mitsubishi Electric proves that bold, collaborative innovation can deliver smarter, greener solutions that genuinely move the needle on climate action.”
