Kempower's New EV Fast Charger Can Do What Tesla's Supercharger Can't

"The new Mega Flex Satellite is fitted with a megawatt-capable MCS connector and a CCS cable, and it's aimed at busy logistics hubs where a Tesla Semi might need a quick top-up at the same time as a smaller, shorter-range Mack MD medium-duty truck. On the MCS side, an 8.86-foot (2.7-meter) cable can deliver up to 1.2 MW, while the CCS side has a 16.4-foot (5-meter) cable and a maximum output of 560 kW."

"It's worth noting that the maximum output of the stall is capped at 1.2 MW, so if both connectors are used at the same time, the charging EVs will share the power output. The dispenser works in tandem with a separate power cabinet, so it's not an all-in-one solution like Tesla's new Basecharger, but it is capable of a much higher power output."

"Kempower said it has future-proofed its new stall to support the ultra-high-voltage EVs that may hit the market in the near future, with a design that allows for up to 1,250 volts DC. For now, however, the stall can deliver between 150 and 1,000V at up to 700 amps on the CCS side and up to 1,500 amps on the MCS side."

Kempower introduced the Mega Flex Satellite, a dual-connector EV fast charger designed for logistics hubs and public charging stations. The charger features an MCS connector delivering up to 1.2 megawatts through an 8.86-foot cable for heavy-duty trucks, and a CCS connector providing up to 560 kilowatts through a 16.4-foot cable for passenger vehicles. When both connectors operate simultaneously, they share the 1.2-megawatt maximum output. The system operates with a separate power cabinet and supports voltage ranges from 150 to 1,000 volts on the CCS side and up to 1,500 amps on the MCS side. Future-proofed for ultra-high-voltage EVs, the charger can support up to 1,250 volts DC and includes optional payment terminals for public truck charging stations.
