Siemens confirmed the 1MW charging goal, which we had also heard about during the last KEY in Rimini. Electrification of heavy-duty applications faces some structural problems. The weight and volume of battery packs, for example, which are taking away payload. Siemens is working to develop comprehensive technology to support the processes of converting heavyduty vehicles to electric power mode, as shown by the semiconductor commitment.

Siemens announced a prototype 1MW charging system worked

So, the big news is that Siemens Smart Infrastructure has completed the first successful 1MW charge.

SICHARGE Megawatt Charging System (MCS) prototype comprises multiple SICHARGE UC150 power cabinets, a switching matrix, and a customized MCS dispenser, leveraging Siemens’ existing portfolio. At the heart of the MCS is the switching matrix, a pivotal component that consolidates the output power of the charging stations. Depending on the specific demand, the switching matrix directs the power to the MCS dispenser. This streamlined approach ensures efficient power distribution and optimal charging capabilities. With the SICHARGE Megawatt Charging System, heavy-duty electric vehicles, such as electrified trucks, can experience rapid charging times. At a compatible charging station boasting an output of approximately 1 MW, batteries commonly utilized in eTrucks could be charged from 20% to 80% in just about 30 minutes.

Markus Mildner, CEO eMobility, Siemens Smart Infrastructure

Mildner stated that: “Especially in long-distance transport, electric trucks and coaches will need fast MCS during the legally prescribed driving time break. To ensure nationwide distribution of this, various requirements must be met including on the governmental side. However, the successful test brings us a big step forward on the technology side and underlines our ambition to actively make transport more sustainable.
