Charging Concepts for Battery-electric Trucks and Buses

the components and the thermal system must be optimized if we want to achieve consistently high charging power,” said Liebig. CCS and MCS connectors compared The MCS charging concept is a further development of CCS and was developed in cooperation with the Charging Interface Initiative e. V. (CharIN) [5]. MCS offers a realistic maximum charging power of around 3 MW (3000 A at 1000 V). Experts consider a charging power of up to 1 MW to be su...
