The Finnish company says thus step underscores its commitment to driving high-power charging for trucks and commercial fleets.
Kempower adds that its MCS solution can deliver up to 1.2 MW of power and 1,500 A of current, addressing the critical requirements of long-haul electric trucks and other energy-intensive vehicles.
The Kempower Mega Satellite System is designed to work with current MCS and CCS2 DC charging standards and is ready for future megawatt charging standards. With scalable and upgradable components, fleet operators can invest in high-power charging confidently, knowing their charging infrastructure will adapt to evolving needs.
"The pilot deliveries of our Megawatt Charging System marks a significant milestone in the electrification of heavy-duty transport. As we enter the new era of transportation – the electrification of trucks and other heavy duty EVs – we are proud to offer a solution that meets their charging demands with efficiency, scalability, and sustainability at its core,” says Jussi Vanhanen, chief market officer at Kempower.
To support the market transition towards full megawatt charging adoption in the coming years, the current CCS2 power levels for heavy duty vehicles need to be increased in the short term. In certain truck charging scenarios, such as on-the-move and destination charging, short bursts of high power are needed.
Kempower says this is why a dual strategy with MCS and High-Power CCS co-existing in the same truck charging ecosystem is "a must". In the company's Megawatt Charging System the MCS and CCS outputs can be in the same system for maximal flexibility, and the unused power can be distributed among several outputs through dynamic power sharing.
