Capable of delivering up to 1,200 kW of power to get electric commercial trucks back on the road in minutes, the new ABB MCS1200 Megawatt Charging System<\/a>\u00a0is part of an ecosystem of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) that ABB\u2019s bringing to this year\u2019s ACT Expo.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

ABB E-mobility<\/a> is using the annual clean trucking conference to showcase the expansion of its EVSE portfolio with three all-new charger families: the field-upgradable A200\/300 All-in-One chargers, the MCS1200 Megawatt Charging System for heavy-duty vehicles shown (above), and the ChargeDock Dispenser for flexible depot charging.<\/p>\n

The company said its new product platform was built by applying a computer system-style domain separation to charger design, fundamentally improving subsystem development and creating a clear path forward for site and system expansion. In other words, ABB is selling a system with both future-proofing and enhanced dependability baked in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have built a system by logically separating a charger into four distinct subsystems \u2026 each functioning as an independent subsystem,\u201d explains Michael Halbherr, CEO of ABB E-mobility. \u201cUnlike conventional chargers, where a user interface failure can disable the entire system, our architecture ensures charging continues even if the screen or payment system encounters issues. Moreover, we can improve each subsystem at its own pace without having to change the entire system.\u201d<\/p>\n

The parts of ABB\u2019s new EVSE portfolio that have been made public so far have already been recognized for design excellence, with the A400 winning the iF Gold Award and both the A400 and C50 receiving\u00a0Red Dot Design Awards.<\/p>\n

ABB says the systemic separation of its EVSE enhances both reliability and quality, while making deployed chargers easier to diagnose and repair, in less time. Each of the chargers\u2019 subsystems can be tested, diagnosed, and replaced independently, allowing for quick on-site repairs and update cycles tailored to the speed of each systems\u2019 innovation. The result is 99% uptime and a more future-proof product.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EV charging landscape is evolving beyond point products for specific use cases,\u201d continued Halbherr. \u201cBy implementing this modular approach with the majority of our R&D focused on modular platforms rather than one-off products \u2026 it reduces supply chain risks, while accelerating development cycles and enabling deeper collaboration with critical suppliers.\u201d<\/p>\n
