The Guts of Megawatt Charging

Megawatt charging represents the next frontier in electric mobility. As electrification expands beyond passenger vehicles into heavy transport such as long-haul trucks, buses, aviation, maritime, and industrial fleets, the demand for faster, higher-power charging infrastructure is rapidly increasing. Operating at the megawatt level also creates an opportunity to rethink the power electronics and system architecture that forms the product. This presentation explores the “guts” of megawatt charging and what makes it work. We will look at the practical challenges of deploying such high-power systems, how energy is distributed and managed at these levels, and the real-world use cases driving demand. Finally, we will examine the technical architecture behind megawatt charging.

Efficiency at Megawatt Charging Levels: From MCS to Real-World High-Power Charging Applications

As electrification expands into heavy-duty transportation, marine vessels, mining equipment, and port logistics, charging efficiency becomes a critical factor for both operational performance and total cost of ownership.

This presentation explores the key technical challenges associated with megawatt-level charging, including thermal management, contact technology, power losses, cooling strategies, and system optimization.

Technology from Staubli experience across high-power charging applications, we will discuss lessons learned from automated charging solutions, port electrification projects, QCC high-current platforms, and ongoing MCS developments.

Particular attention will be given to how connector design, liquid cooling, and electrical interface optimization contribute to improved charging efficiency and reliability at very high current levels.

The session will provide practical insights into scalable megawatt charging solutions and highlight how industrial experience can support the future deployment of efficient charging infrastructure for commercial vehicles, marine, mining, and other demanding applications.

Making GreenPHY Interoperability Measurable: A Practical EVCC-SECC Validation Workflow

Reliable EV charging communication requires more than completing a successful handshake once. Engineers need a repeatable way to observe where communication breaks, stress the link under controlled conditions, reproduce peer behavior, and turn the evidence into design and production improvements. This presentation introduces a practical validation workflow for GreenPHY-based EVCC and SECC development. It combines packet- and SLAC-level observation, CP PWM and spectrum visibility, physical-layer measurements such as attenuation, SNR, frequency offset, and noise, and EV/EVSE emulation into one engineering loop. The objective is not only to identify a failed session, but to make failures measurable and reproducible across R&D, production testing, and field diagnosis. The presentation will also illustrate how an integrated HPGP silicon and test-tool ecosystem can support this lifecycle.

From V1G to V2G: Redefining the Value of E-mobility as Flexibility Resources

As clean but variable energy resources rapidly expand, grids are placing growing value on flexibility. Within this context, the conversation around EVs has shifted, from viewing them purely as new demand to recognizing them as flexibility resources delivering grid-level operational value and customer-level revenue opportunities. This shift is often framed through the evolution of smart charging: from V0G, to V1G, and now increasingly to V2G. Drawing on Gridwiz's over a decade of e-mobility experience, this presentation traces this transition across technological development and business innovation. On the technical front, this includes an integrated e-mobility ecosystem built on interoperability and V2G-readiness. On the business side, it includes real-world energy market participation by aggregating EVs and chargers at scale. Building on these field-proven experiences, the session offers practical insights and outlines the path forward for expanding V2G in the next phase of e-mobility.

Market update on Australia and New Zealand - V2G and MCS

The Australian and New Zealand EV and EVSE markets provide growing opportunities for V2G and MCS that may differ from those in other regions of the world. This presentation provides an overview of the Australian and New Zealand markets, including the uptake of a wide variety of different Chinese EVs makes across all market segments including light and heavy vehicles and mobile machinery. The presentation also highlights some leading examples of opportunities in mining, marine and aviation electrification in the Australasian region.

Who Owns the Risk When the Car Plugs In?Toward a Shared Assurance Model for EV Charging

Electrification has created a new class of critical infrastructure, one where a vehicle, a charger, an operator's network, and a cloud backend must establish mutual trust continuously, at scale, across organizational boundaries no single party controls. Yet much of that trust still rests on implicit assumptions rather than authenticated ones.

2026 has supplied unusually clear evidence of where those assumptions break, and of how narrow the blast radius of a single finding is assumed to be versus how wide it proves to be in deployment. This session steps back from individual vulnerabilities to ask the harder question: when the threat model spans manufacturers, operators, standards bodies, and vehicle makers, who is accountable for the residual risk?

Drawing on VicOne's vantage across vehicle and charging security research, the talk proposes a shared assurance model spanning secure-by-design, runtime detection, and fleet-level correlation, and argues that accountability belongs with whoever can still observe the system after deployment.

From Compliance to Interoperability: Building Future-Proof EV Charging Test Systems

As the EV charging industry moves beyond standards compliance, interoperability has become a critical factor in ensuring a reliable and scalable charging ecosystem. This presentation explores the development of a CharIN CCTS-based test environment, approaches to meeting IEC and ISO international standards, real-world interoperability validation practices, and the future evolution of EV charging test technologies.

Australian interoperability and grid code developments - implications for V2G

Australia's grid code AS/NZS 4777.2 has supported the rapid adoption of rooftop solar across the country, and the imminent publication of AS 5438 will specify local interoperability requirements for inverters, including bidirectional charging systems. This presentation will outline recent developments in Australian interoperability standards, grid code requirements, and how they apply to bidirectional EV charging infrastructure.
