Kempower installs Megawatt Charging System sites for heavy trucks in Scandinavia and California
By Eve
Kempower has deployed MCS (Megawatt Charging System) infrastructure for electric trucks at locations in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and California, according to Charged EVs. The rollout marks commercial deployment of the ultra high power charging standard designed for heavy duty vehicles, though the report does not specify the number of sites or power ratings installed.
Why it matters
MCS represents the emerging standard for depot and corridor charging of Class 8 trucks, and early deployments signal which suppliers are winning first mover contracts as fleets electrify. Kempower's multi market installations demonstrate both European and North American traction in the heavy duty segment, a key growth area for charging infrastructure procurement.

Kempower and Evergreen Mobility partner to build French heavy-duty charging network
DC fast charging manufacturer Kempower has partnered with French heavy-duty charging specialist Evergreen Mobility to develop a charging network across France. The partnership addresses a critical infrastructure gap, as Europe has only around 730 public truck chargers above 350 kW but needs an estimated 35,000 megawatt chargers by 2030, while EU registrations of electrically chargeable trucks rose 47.7% in the first half of 2026. France's first sites with Kempower megawatt chargers have been installed at a public truck stop in Lapalisse on the N7 in Allier and at a Kimmel Transport depot in Thal-Drulingen, both equipped with Kempower Mega Satellites operating at 250 kW but scalable to 1.2 megawatts, plus four Kempower Satellites each delivering up to 300 kW peak power.
Why it matters
This partnership signals significant procurement opportunities in the French heavy-duty charging market, with Kempower's distributed DC architecture and dynamic power sharing offering a scalable model for both public and depot installations. The 35,000 megawatt charger requirement by 2030 represents a substantial pipeline for CPOs and equipment suppliers targeting the commercial vehicle segment.
