Mega Watt hour charging to bridge the high capacity Transport sector for EV charging
The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is a groundbreaking technology that provides high-power charging solutions for electric heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks, marine vessels, aeronautics, and mining.Â
Technology
It offers a maximum charging rate of 3.75 megawatts, the highest in the market. It enables fast and efficient charging for large battery electric vehicles. With the MCS, customers can drive more distance daily while taking mandated breaks from hours-of-service regulations. This technology can reduce charging times to fit into regular breaks in the duty cycle. Enabling improved electrification for commercial vehicles and long-distance haulage. Its implementation requires significant investment, and fleet operators and OEMs must work together with utility providers to ensure proper capacity for this new technology is in place.
Industry applications & Impact
The Megawatt Charging System is a cross-industry effort, and leading EVSE hardware suppliers are now developing their megawatt-capable charging stations. With the rapid growth of DC chargers capable of MW charging, the Megawatt Charging System is poised to revolutionize the transportation industry and help combat climate change.

The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is a game-changing technology that has the potential to revolutionize the electric vehicle charging industry. The CharIN Whitepaper on MCS outlines several recommendations and requirements for standards bodies and solution suppliers. With a single conductive plug, maximum of 1,250 volts and 3,000 amperes (DC), Ethernet and ISO/IEC 15118-20, touch-safe (UL2251), and an on-handle software-interpreted override switch, the MCS is a highly advanced and efficient charging system. Additionally, it adheres to OSHA and ADA standards, is FCC Class A EMI compliant, and is located on the left side of the vehicle, roughly hip height. The system can be automated, UL (NRTL) certified, cyber-secure, and V2X (bi-directional). With all these features, the MCS is truly a technological marvel changing how we think about electric vehicle charging.
