Mercedes-Benz Trucks test electric charging at 1,000 kilowatts.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks has successfully tested the charging of a prototype electric truck, the eActros 600, at a charging station with an output of one megawatt. The company was involved in the development of the industry-wide MCS charging standard, which is important for public charging along major transport routes. The successful test is seen as a significant step forward, and Mercedes-Benz Trucks is now working to bring the MCS technology to series production. The eActros 600 has a high battery capacity and efficient electric drive, allowing it to achieve a range of 500 kilometers without intermediate charging. Megawatt charging has potential for long-distance haulage across Europe. [Extracted from the article]
