Kempower has commenced pilot deliveries of its Megawatt Charging System (MCS) from its European manufacturing facilities. The company, which specialises in electric vehicle fast-charging solutions, is expanding its offerings for commercial fleet charging infrastructure.
The system delivers power up to 1.2MW and 1,500A of current, designed for Charging electric lorries and high-energy consumption vehicles.
According to the company, their Mega Satellite System is compatible with existing MCS and CCS2 DC charging standards whilst maintaining readiness for future megawatt charging protocols. The system includes upgrade options for fleet operators’ charging infrastructure.
Jussi Vanhanen, chief market officer at Kempower, stated: “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.”
The Kempower Mega Satellite enables simultaneous charging of two lorries using CCS2 connectors, providing 700A/560kW to each vehicle. The system combines MCS and CCS outputs, allowing unused power to be distributed across multiple outputs through dynamic power sharing.
The technology development comes as the industry works to increase current CCS2 power levels for heavy-duty vehicles, which the company says is necessary for the transition to megawatt charging. This dual approach enables both MCS and high-power CCS to operate within the same charging ecosystem.
The system’s technical specifications include charging capabilities exceeding 1,500A with peak power of up to 1.2MW, featuring both MCS and high-power CCS functionality in the Kempower Mega Satellite unit.
