Electromobility is rapidly expanding into heavy‑duty transport, creating a need for charging technologies that can handle large battery systems. The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) addresses this challenge with a new international standard for high‑power DC charging of commercial vehicles and other large electric platforms.

As with passenger‑car charging, reliable communication between the vehicle and the charging station is essential. MCS uses ISO 15118‑20 and 10BASE‑T1S automotive Ethernet to enable this interaction, both supported by our Smart Charging Solution.

In this presentation, we demonstrate a complete high‑power charging process and show how the communication protocol and its connection to the charging application can be tested efficiently. The accompanying slides outline the technical background, test setup, and key challenges of megawatt charging.
