According to Electrive, the connector design used by the two companies is the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) and the triangular-shaped plug is designed in order to support charging speeds of up to 3.75MW.

The system is adaptive, meaning that it depends on each vehicle and its batteries how fast they can juice up.

The MCS charging solution can be used by pretty much any heavy-duty vehicles, although it was primarily designed for battery-powered trucks.

BRUGG e-Connect and Cavotec expect companies working in agriculture, mining and other industries to use the connector for charging future EVs.

The system that the two companies presented is a prototype and the final version will be available to order from January 2023 with the commercial rollout will start in 2024.
