ChargePoint  MCS

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.

A4000 All-in-One

In today’s EV charging industry, lack of reliability, complex charging experiences for drivers and insufficient return on investment (ROI) are three key challenges for owner/operators and fleets that hinder large-scale deployment of charging infrastructure. The new A400 All-in-One charger offers the highest power density with the smallest footprint and addresses these challenges head-on by introducing innovations in these three problem areas: a holistic, end-user centric experience design, industrialized modularity and system engineering, and a telecom-level approach to asset management.

Today, charging success rates are mediocre at best, often below 70%. When approaching a charger, drivers of private or commercial vehicles are often confused about how to use the chargers, face payment issues that block the charging process, and too often think their vehicle is charging when it is not.

 

The A400 has been developed with a consumer-centric design approach focused on achieving the highest charging success rates possible. The A400 enhances the overall charging process by creating clarity and reducing friction points between car, charger, and payment systems to ensure a seamless experience from arrival to completion. With its intuitive user interface displayed on a large 32-inch screen, the A400 is as easy and familiar to use as your smartphone. It guides the user step by step and confirms the charging status and completion of the charging process with the ambition of a 99% charging success rate.

The A400 is more than just a hardware product. With its new cloud-based asset management toolchain, it will be possible to manage charging assets at the highest level – like telecommunication networks, where reliability, scalability, interoperability, security, and performance play an important role. This means that the A400 comes with 24/7 asset management service-level agreements (SLAs) that target 99% charging success rates, as well as 97% uptime and fast service response times.

For many fleets and owner/operators, the focus in recent years has been mainly on installing power – peak power and volume of power. The question has been “how much installed power do I get for my money?” The result has been a pursuit of quantity over quality. ABB E-Mobility believes that as an industry, we need to continue to deploy more power and increase grid densities as the installed base of EV fleets continues to grow. At the same time, we need to find a better balance between just installing more power on the one hand and more reliability and more power sharing on the other. That’s why ABB E-mobility designed the A400 with the aim of achieving a 10-year product lifetime, high reliability and, most importantly, enabling our customers to sell energy at the lowest cost. This will significantly improve the customer’s bottom line.

In addition, the dynamic power sharing with a granularity of 50 kW helps to take different charging patterns into account, while in-house built silicon carbide-based power modules, maximum efficient air cooling, and a highly industrialized system design deliver the required reliability.

ABB E-mobility is the first to implement two-phase cooling technology (liquid to vapor to liquid) into a charging connector capable of up to 600 amperes of peak current. This patented technology is more reliable and efficient, with lower maintenance cost than traditional liquid cooled cable solutions.

“Charging networks constitute a mission-critical transport infrastructure on the way to an energy-efficient and climate-neutral mobility era. The A400 has been designed from the ground up as a system for the reliable and cost-effective delivery of energy, enabling our customers to operate their network at the highest level, and achieving their desired economic outcome,” said Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility. “At ABB E-Mobility, we have taken key lessons from our extensive experience and are obsessed with creating a charging experience that is reliable, scalable, managed and secure, while ensuring interoperability and performance.”

What the A400 Delivers:

  • Two charging ports provide 200kW of continuous charging power to two vehicles, up to 400kW for a single vehicle, compliant with all applicable governmental requirements and funding parameters in the U.S. and Europe.
  • Silicon carbide power modules developed and produced in-house, arranged in
