    To replace diesel, a Class 8 electric truck must recoup 400 kilometres of range during a driver’s typical 30-to-45-minute break – a feat that requires charging equipment capable of delivering more than 1 MW of power. While current CCS standards function well for regional delivery and depot-based return-to-base operations, they create a bottleneck for long-haul heavy freight. This session explores the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) standard and its essential role in enabling zero-emissions trucking at scale. Speakers include the Electrification Coalition, who will discuss U.S. corridors in development; Hydro-Québec, which is deploying its first megawatt charger this summer; and CharIN, who are developing the global standard for MCS. Together, they provide a practical look at how we power up our highways.
