Switzerland - Designwerk Technologies AG, an engineering company in Winterthur, Switzerland, which develops and sells electromobility products and engineering services, has launched a new fast charging station, the Mega Charger for the CV industry. This megawatt charging container was unveiled at the company’s headquarters in Winterthur late last month and features two CCS Charging points, each with an output of 420 kilowatts, making a total power capacity of 840kWs. The container also houses a lithium-ion, second-life NMC battery with a capacity of up to 2MWh to provide energy for the chargers. Besides being a solution for long-distance electric commercial vehicle transport, the container is seen as a solution to reduce the pressure on the power grid.

Swiss transport operator, Galliker Transport AG, is set to commission a charging park based on Mega Charger technology in 2024. Sales of the Mega Charger have already commenced, with the charging power and battery capacity tailored to individual customer needs.
