Accelerating the future of heavy-duty charging with Megawatt Charging System

MCS in Action

The highlight of the event was the Public Day on June 4, which offered visitors a deep dive into real-world MCS controller testing and implementation. This day attracted a broader audience from across the e-mobility value chain, including business developers, media representatives, and industry decision-makers eager to witness the latest progress in MCS.

The day began with opening words and a welcome from Mr. Patrice Dunand, President of Pays de Gex, who attended setting the tone for collaboration and innovation. Attendees then joined a guided CharIN Testival tour led by CharIN’s CTO Michael Keller, who walked participants through the full testing environment, showcasing how heavy-duty vehicles, charging systems, and communication protocols came together in real-world conditions.

One of the standout moments was the live MCS charging demonstration hosted by ADVANTICS in collaboration with Stäubli, featuring their MCS connector in action. Visitors were also able to explore how an MCS station is built from the ground up and learned more about secure charging through sessions on Multi-PKI authentication and V2G applications for commercial vehicles.

The day concluded with a strategic deep dive into the “Why, What, and How” of Plug & Charge, led by Strategic Testing Partner Hubject. This session tied everything together by highlighting the critical role of secure, standardized communication for the successful rollout of megawatt charging worldwide.
