Comemso has unveiled a groundbreaking Megawatt Charging System (MCS), capable of charging electric vehicle (EV) batteries up to 1500 kW in as little as 20 to 30 minutes. This innovation comes as a significant leap forward in EV technology, particularly for the high-demand battery charging sector, offering a much-needed solution for quicker charging times. The platform supports multiple charging standards such as CCS (Combo 1 and Combo 2), NACS, CHAdeMO, and GB/T, ensuring compatibility with various EV models.
A key feature of the MCS is its ability to handle the inherent challenges of high-power charging. According to Kiriakos Athanasas, CEO of Comemso, achieving megawatt-level charging requires addressing several complexities, from cooling systems to cable design. The company has tackled these issues by introducing cooled cable technology, which efficiently manages the thermal challenges associated with high-voltage currents. This innovation ensures that the charging process remains safe and efficient, even under intense usage.
The technology behind the MCS is designed to cater to the needs of modern EV infrastructure. With a power capacity that can fully charge a 1000 kW battery in under half an hour, it overcomes previous barriers in rapid charging technologies. One of the primary challenges faced by earlier systems was excessive heat buildup during continuous high-power charging. Comemso’s advanced cooling mechanisms ensure that the system can operate smoothly, even in high-demand scenarios, offering a more reliable and consistent charging experience.
Moreover, the MCS platform’s scalability ensures it remains adaptable to future advancements in EV technology. It is built with a communication core that can evolve to meet emerging standards and protocols. This future-proof design makes it a versatile solution for both current and future EV charging needs, positioning Comemso as a leader in the charging infrastructure sector. The system’s compatibility with various global charging standards further solidifies its potential to cater to a wide range of vehicles.
Through close collaboration with suppliers, Comemso has developed a robust cooling and cabling system that meets the high-current needs of next-generation EVs. This level of customization allows testing labs and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to develop specialized solutions tailored to their unique requirements. The MCS represents a major milestone in the evolution of EV charging, laying the groundwork for a new era of faster and more efficient charging systems.
