Milence × Power Electronics MCS
The megawatt charger of the truck makers' own charging operator: Power Electronics' MCS dispenser, up to 1,440 kW and 1,500 A, in use at Milence hubs such as Antwerp-Bruges since 2025. At the IAA, Milence runs its megawatt charging demos on Alpitronic's HYC1000 instead, and signed a partnership with Alpitronic.

| Trucks on this site it can charge at full powerSee the truck sheets | Every truck of the T&E comparison except the DAF XG Electric is MCS-capable or announced so (MAN eTGX up to 750 kW): see the truck sheets at /sheets/avs/ | ↗ |
| Anything else worth knowing | Milence says the MCS cuts charging time by about 90 %, to roughly 30 minutes; in a June 2025 demonstration at Landvetter a truck went from 20 to 80 % in about 40 minutes. The datasheet announces updated hardware as "coming soon". Milence, which chose Power Electronics chargers for its first MCS sites, named Alpitronic a key megawatt charging partner in September 2026 | ↗ ↗ ↗ ↗ |
