ABB E-mobility MCS1200
ABB E-mobility's megawatt charger for heavy trucks: three 400 kW power cabinets deliver 1,200 kW continuously at 1,500 A through one MCS plug, which ABB says is enough to charge a truck during the driver's break. Announced in April 2025; no price published. ABB E-mobility is, with its installation partner elexon.
