EcoFlow Expands Energy Reach at IFA 2026 With RIVER Gen4 and PowerRock

The RIVER Gen4 series targets the portable market with two models: the 256 Wh RIVER 260 and the 512 Wh RIVER 520. By redesigning internal architecture, EcoFlow reduced the size of these units by up to 59 percent compared to their predecessors. They feature a 0-percent display Emergency Power Mode and utilize X-Stream 4.0 technology, allowing for an 80-percent charge in under an hour. These units are designed to minimize idle power drain, ensuring more energy reaches connected devices like routers or portable refrigeration.

For industrial applications, the PowerRock 4000 offers a 4 kW continuous output and a 3 kWh battery capacity. Aimed at construction sites and film production, the unit bypasses the need for traditional combustion generators or lengthy grid-connection permits. It includes a built-in 30 mA residual current device and is encased in an IP65-rated metal roll cage, weighing 38 kg. The device is slated for a European rollout beginning in November 2026.

The company is also highlighting its existing home energy ecosystem, specifically the OCEAN 2 three-phase storage system and the STREAM battery series. The OCEAN 2 integrates whole-home backup with energy management software, while the STREAM series is set to receive a 'Local Mode' update in October, allowing for system control without an active internet connection. All products are currently on display at Hall 2.2, Booth 166, through September 8.
