To satisfy the market demand of the Truck and Bus industry to charge electric heavy-duty vehicles within a reasonable time, a new solution for high-power charging is needed.
The following requirements for the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) are currently discussed:
Single conductive plug
Max 1.500 volt & 3.000 ampere (DC)
PLC + ISO/IEC 15118
Touch Safe (UL2251)
On-handle software-interpreted override switch
Adheres to OSHA & ADA (& local equivalent) standards
FCC Class A EMI (& local equivalent)
Located on left side of the vehicle, roughly hip height
Capable of being automated
UL (NRTL) certified
Cyber-Secure
V2X (bi-directional)

Räknade lite snabbt på effekten, och kom fram till att om batteripacket i en personbil på 75kWh hade klarat att ta full laddeffekt enligt ovan spec. (med en rak laddkurva) så hade man laddat från 0% SoC till 100% SoC på exakt en (1) minut!
The CCS initiative CharIN has demonstrated the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) for the first time at the Electric Vehicle Symposium (EVS35) in Oslo. This is to become a future charging standard for heavy commercial vehicles. The prototype design of the plug was also revealed that should enable charging capacities of up to 3.75 MW.
The first pilot projects are aimed at heavy trucks and buses and are planned for 2023, followed by the commercial rollout for 2024. The development seems to be on schedule despite a few challenges – a first major presentation of the megawatt charging system for the EVS35 was promised for in 2021, but has only just now taken place.
Kan tänka mig att MCS kommer nyttjas till personbilar också tids nog, 500kw som CCS stödjer som max är inte tillräckligt på sikt. (Kanske kommer en ny CCS-standard dock).
