Megawatt Charging represents the first step
towards the electrification of large-scale trucking
ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of networked
charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced its
support for the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), the latest addition
to ChargePoint’s leading DC fast charging lineup. The system is
estimated to be capable of dispensing enough energy to power
approximately 1000 homes, so the immense rate of charge will help
enable the electrification of commercial trucking.

“Megawatt technology is the first step toward electrifying the
commercial trucking industry,” said Hossein Kazemi, CTO for
Hardware at ChargePoint. “Megawatt charging solves one half of the
electrification equation for trucking. The companies developing
electric trucks can now leverage this infrastructure to test and
enable their vehicles until they meet – or even exceed – the
distances covered by internal combustion trucks.”
The greatest benefit of an electrified trucking sector is the
reduction of emissions, as transportation represents the largest
polluting segment. The industry is currently responsible for an
annual 400+ million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions in the
USA alone. The electrification of these vehicles will represent a
significant step towards achieving global climate goals, but first
the megawatt charging infrastructure must go into place to charge
them.
The MCS cable and connector will be available on ChargePoint’s
Power Link 2000 stations, part of the modular Express Plus DC fast
charging platform. Initially, MCS will deliver up to 1.2 megawatts.
The Megawatt Charging System supports bi-directional charging and
will enable output of up to 3 megawatts in the future before
vehicles capable of accepting such charge come. The system is also
designed for charging in marine and aviation applications.
ChargePoint enables its customers to meet their electrification
needs. Partners planning on megawatt charging can begin ChargePoint
interoperability testing now to ensure a seamless deployment.
ChargePoint’s Megawatt Charging System will be on display at the
ACT Expo taking place May 20-23 in Las Vegas, NV. For more
