Power Electronics launches its MCS system, the most powerful charger to date

The Spanish multinational company reaffirms its commitment to sustainable mobility through the Megawatt Charging System, wich will enable ultra-fast charging of heavy vehicle fleets. The company’s prototype will allow charging vehicles with powers of up to 1,440 kW and will be the first MCS charger installed in southern Europe.

Power Electronics launches its MCS system, the most powerful charger to date

Power Electronics launches a key solution for the mobility of the future. It is the MCS (Megawatt Charging System), its most powerful charger to date, which will drive the electric mobility sector through the ultra-fast charging of heavy vehicles.

Net-Zero Emissions Goal

Sustainable mobility is crucial in the energy transition; for this reason, it is important to develop an electric vehicle fleet and charging solutions that meet user’s needs.

Until now, heavy electric vehicles faced charging times of 1.5 to 7 hours depending on the model and the infrastructure used. With Power Electronics' MCS Solution, these same vehicles will be able to charge their batteries from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes thanks to the 1,440 kW (1,500 A, 1,000 V) power it can reach.

Considering that these types of vehicles produce at least 63% less emissions during their lifespan compared to diesel, implementing the MCS system is the first step towards expanding a charging network for medium and long-distance transport.

Both charge point operators and companies with heavy vehicle fleets will benefit from the product's advantages by being able to charge up to four vehicles simultaneously, with the flexibility to configure the number of MCS and CCS dispensers that best suit the needs of each project, up to a maximum of four dispensers.

"In 2022, the Spanish transport sector emitted 90.46 Mt of CO2, with road transport being responsible for 28.4% of this figure. If we want to achieve the decarbonization goals set by the EU, we face a very ambitious challenge but, thanks to our MCS solution, it is realistic since we offer an effective alternative for companies with vehicle fleets," highlights Raúl Padierna, Chief Sales Officer of Power Electronics.

A Strong Commitment to Fast and Ultra-Fast Charging

The solution from Power Electronics will reduce charging times by approximately 90%, and will allow land transport professionals to charge their trucks within a similar time frame to the mandatory rest stop.

Charging time is a key aspect of the value proposition that the Spanish multinational emphasizes during the manufacturing process of its products. In a market where 75% of users are concerned about reaching a charging station and finding all chargers available, offering solutions that allow fast and ultra-fast charging is one of the factors that will make it possible to increase the number of electric mobility users.

Commitment and Leadership in Electrification and Renewable Energy

The company's commitment to continue promoting the electrification of a key sector to achieve a greener and more sustainable future is setting the roadmap for global electric mobility.

In 2023, the company has undertaken more than 2,000 projects worldwide, which have contributed to electrifying routes, accelerating the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
