Why higher voltage is the future of EVs—and how MCS is leading the charge!

As OEMs push to extend EV range, they face a challenge: bigger batteries mean more weight. And in lower-voltage systems, that weight grows fast—because more power requires more copper, and more copper means heavier vehicles.

The solution is higher voltage.
By increasing system voltage (e.g., from 400V to 800V+), EVs can deliver the same power with less current. That means thinner cables, less copper, and lighter vehicles—without compromising performance.  This is where the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) comes in. MCS is built for high-voltage, high-power charging—perfect for heavy-duty EVs like trucks and buses that need long range and ultra-fast charging.

In short, the future of electrified transport is lighter, faster, and more efficient—and MCS is ready for it

Moving from CCS / NACS to MCS charging in the future can reduce the charging time of these vehicles by a factor of 4, resulting in charging times of less than 30 minutes, meaning depot operators can consider operational logistics models that closely resemble those used today when fuelling conventional vehicles.

With VELOX m chargers, depot operators can invest confidently today, knowing their infrastructure is future proofed.

Our VELOX m chargers handle battery outputs from 150 to 1,250 V, meeting all charging standards, including MCS, and offer bi-directional functionality for V2X operations. Configured to suit any current fleet needs with up to 1.2 MW capacity, the VELOX m allows for simple integration of more and different versions of VELOX chargers, making it the most cost-effective, upgradable solution in the market, facilitating seamless switch over to MCS once vehicles become available, without the need for extra power electronics.

To further safeguard your investment, VELOX m chargers offer an expandable configuration. As you need to add more capacity through battery storage and/or embedded generation, simply integrate these new sources seamlessly with our SMART FLEET DC Grid and add more chargers as required.

3.75 MW / 3000 A and Beyond!

By expanding grid capacity and utilizing VELOX m chargers, you can connect multiple schemes and maximize your system’s potential, reaching the MCS standard of 3.75 MW / 3,000 A and beyond in the future!
