Megawatt Charging System (MCS)

Cavotec’s Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is a turnkey DC charging solution with grid-to-inlet functionality that enables high-power charging of heavy-duty vehicles, machinery, and vessels.

MCS is a modular solution, offering both manual and automated connection options, providing up to 4.5MW charging power with a single MCS connector. Whether used for heavy-duty trucks, industrial vehicles, e-vessels or mining equipment, MCS delivers ultra-fast, reliable charging for operations that demand reduced downtime and maximised efficiency.

MCS Manual Dispenser

The MCS Manual Dispenser is specifically designed for high-power charging applications where manual handling is preferred or necessary. This flexible solution is ideal for sectors such as mining, construction, ports, and transportation, offering safe and efficient ultra-fast charging with up to 4.5 MW (1500VDC / 3000A).

Key Features

  • Ultra-Fast Charging: Delivers up to 4.5 MW of power, significantly reducing charging times and boosting operational uptime.
  • Integrated Cooling System: Maintains efficient operation under high power loads with dedicated cooling for both the cable and connector.
  • Ergonomic Design: Features a cable management system and intuitive grip for easy and safe manual connection.
  • Safety First: Equipped with an emergency stop button and fully compliant with high-voltage charging safety standards.
  • Flexible and Robust: Designed to withstand harsh environments, making it ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.
  • Clear Status Indication: Large LED indicators provide clear visual feedback on the charging status, visible from a distance.

MCS Connector and MCS Inlet

For automated operations or where repeated, high-frequency charging is required, the MCS Connector offers a seamless connection to the vehicle’s inlet. Supporting the same high-power output of up to 4.5 MW, the MCS Connector ensures safe, efficient and rapid charging for all types of heavy-duty vehicles and vessels.

Features

  • Robust Design: The aluminium body of the connector and inlet ensures durability and longevity in harsh environments
  • Innovative Handle: ergonomically designed for enhanced usability and comfort during operation
  • Efficient Cooling: Enables the use of longer cables while reducing operational cooling cost
  • Modular inlet design: customizable inlet busbar design optimizes connection space for various power requirements

System components

The complete MCS solution consists of: 

  • a high-power electronic module, the “DC Megawatt Charger”
  • an MCS connector (incorporated into an MCS Manual Dispenser or Automated Connection System (ACS)
  • an MCS Inlet as a mating device located on the vehicle or vessel.

Benefits of Cavotec MCS

  • Optimized Charging Time: Delivering up to 4.5 MW per connector, charging times are significantly reduced compared to Combined Charging Systems (CCS).
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for a wide range of heavy-duty electric vehicles and vessels across multiple industries.
  • Modular Solution: Offers the flexibility to choose between manual or automated connections based on operational needs.
  • Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Integrated power management system ensures safe, monitored, and controlled charging.

Discover how Cavotec’s MCS solutions are driving the transition to electrification and supporting the sustainable future of heavy-duty transportation and industrial applications.
