Key Features

Robust & Purposeful Design

MCS charger from side

Rotated Connector Holder

The patented connector holder is rotated at an angle to align the connector correctly with the truck inlet, eliminating torque from the cable.

MCS in whole size

Double-Wall Cabinet

The patented double-wall cabinet with dual-compartment cooling and thermal circulation protects power electronics from environmental elements, prolonging their life.

MCS from side

Configurable Charge Post

The charge post is purpose-built for MCS charging sessions while providing flexibility with an optional CCS connector. Choose a single MCS connector or a dual configuration with CCS.

Close UP from HMI

Intuitive Interface

The central 21.5" HD touch screen is configured for single-outlet charging sessions, while 360° LED lighting indicates charger availability to drivers from the truck cab.
