Megawatt charging, here we go! Our report from the first Kempower Live Winter Days in Norrköping

We cound attend the Kempower Live Winter Days in Norrköping, a couple of hours by car from Stockholm. The event marks a watershed moment in awareness of the potential of ultra-fast charging for heavy vehicles. Stars of the show were three megawatt-ready road tractors from MAN, Scania, and Volvo.

Overall, 12.8 MW of new charging capacity will be created as the two companies seek to support logistics companies and other fleets to confidently make the transition towards electric vehicles. Across the eight sites, Kempower has supplied 17 Kempower Satellites and 24 Kempower Station Chargers, creating 64 new charging points across the country.

The Kempower Satellites receive power from Kempower Power Units, which can be kept up to 80m away from the charging dispensers, while the Kempower Station Chargers are an all-in-one solution which integrate the cabinet design of the Power Unit with the Satellite’s user interface. The chargers can each deliver up to 400kW of distributed power to charging vehicles.

The logistics industry is amongst the hardest to electrify since trucks have such significant charging needs, so extensive public charging networks like this will be crucial to securing a successful transition”, said Han Dix, Country Manager for Benelux at Kempower.
