Heavy transport demands a significant amount of power. To show what the charging system of tomorrow looks like for heavy electric vehicles, the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is now launched. In 2024, we will see it on the market. Charging Interface Initiative – CharIN - a global association that wants to achieve a standardised charging infrastructure, has been working on a more powerful system for several years. At the 35th Electric Vehicle Symposium in June 2022, the MCS was introduced when a Alpitronic-charger was connected to a Scania-truck, with the new standardised connector for MCS and simulating charging at 1,2 MW. This technology will enable electric trucks going forward without disrupting the logistic flows on the European and North American transport network. (....)
