MEGAWATT CAN DELIVER UP TO 1.2MW FOR BUS AND TRUCK FLEETS
Finland-based Kempower, a leading provider of fast charging solutions for electric vehicles, has begun pilot deliveries of its Megawatt Charging System (MCS) from the company’s European factories. This critical step underlines Kempower’s commitment to driving high-power charging for commercial trucks and fleets.
Kempower’s MCS solution is notable for its ability to deliver up to 1.2 MW of power and 1,500 A of current, thus addressing the critical requirements of long-haul electric trucks and other energy-intensive vehicles.
The Kempower Mega Satellite system is designed to operate with current MCS and CCS2 DC charging standards and is ready for future megawatt charging standards. With scalable and upgradeable components, fleet operators can invest in high-power charging with confidence, knowing that their charging infrastructure will adapt to changing needs.
Key features include:
• Charging at +1,500 A and up to 1.2 MW peak power
• Featuring the Kempower Mega Satellite, with both a high-power MCS and CCS
• Transition to MCS: Current CCS2 power levels for heavy-duty vehicles should be increased in the near term to enable the market transition to full MCS adoption in the coming years.
• Dual strategy: Coexistence of MCS and high-power CCS in the ecosystem is inevitable for OEMs and EV supply equipment manufacturers to drive the transition to zero-emission road transport.
• Flexibility: Unused MCS power can be dynamically distributed across multiple high-power CCS2 outputs within the same system. This facilitates the market transition towards widespread MCS adaptation.
Kempower designs and manufactures reliable and easy-to-use DC fast charging solutions for electric vehicles, with a vision to create the world’s most desirable EV charging solutions for everyone, everywhere. Development and production of the solutions take place in Finland and the USA, and the company is notable for its global partnership with Scania to supply charging systems for electric trucks and buses.
