MCS

Mind-blowing Charging Speeds?

@threelonmusketeers 😁

Megawatt Charging System. It is a standard meant for heavy haulers with its own specialized plug, but adding a CCS plug for these hyper fast charging cars would make a lot of sense.

The MCS plug supports up to 3,5 MW, so the CCS plug would need to be limited to e.g. 1 MW and heavily cooled, or both cable and plug would melt.
