MAN Smart Charging Cube
The grid connection is usually the slowest and dearest part of a depot. The Smart Charging Cube skips it: 500 to 1,100 kWh of battery behind a 32 to 630 A house connection, no earthworks, and up to four trucks charging at 400 kW. It does peak shaving, takes your own solar power and charges back bidirectionally. MAN sells it outright, on lease or on rent, and publishes no price, so ask for all three numbers.
