Kempower’s new Mega Satellite Flex heavy-duty EV charger supports both CCS and MCS

Kempower has unveiled its latest high-power DC fast charger, the Mega Satellite Flex, designed to support both CCS and MCS charging standards. This new charger can deliver up to 560 kW via CCS and an impressive 1.2 megawatts through MCS, making it suitable for a wide range of electric vehicles, including heavy-duty commercial trucks and passenger cars. The device’s flexible configuration aims to facilitate a smoother transition to higher-powered MCS charging infrastructure, allowing operators to maximise the use of their charging sites. The Mega Satellite Flex is compatible with 800 V electric vehicles, including vans and cars, reflecting the growing trend towards higher voltage platforms in the EV market. It offers substantial current outputs of up to 1,500 A for MCS and 700 A for CCS, with cable lengths designed for user convenience—16.4 feet for CCS and 8.86 feet for MCS. Additionally, the charger can be fitted with a payment terminal and integrates seamlessly with Kempower’s existing distributed charging systems, enhancing operational flexibility for site owners. Monil Malhotra, Kempower’s North America President, highlighted the importance of this product in the context of accelerating heavy-duty electrification. He emphasised that the Mega Satellite Flex addresses the urgent demand for dependable and adaptable MCS solutions, enabling fleet and logistics operators to charge their vehicles efficiently without operational disruptions. Malhotra also noted that improved site utilisation and increased revenue potential are key benefits for charging point operators adopting this technology. The Kempower Mega Satellite Flex is set to enter the market in North America and Europe from July 2026. Prior to its launch, the charger will be demonstrated at various events across Europe during the summer, providing stakeholders with an opportunity to explore its capabilities firsthand. This introduction represents a significant step forward in supporting the electrification of commercial transport and advancing the infrastructure needed for next-generation electric vehicles.
