Freight logistics operators are accelerating their transition toward battery electric heavy trucks following the global ratification of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) standard.

Operating at maximum current limits up to 3,000 Amperes and 1,250 Volts DC, MCS connectors deliver up to 3.75 Megawatts of continuous power—more than seven times faster than legacy passenger car fast chargers.
