Kempower announces first public MCS charging station in homeland Finland

Kempower has partnered with Finnish e-mobility company Plugit to boost EV and e-truck charging infrastructure in the Nordics. Indeed, Plugit will deliver and operate turnkey charging solutions from the design phase through to installation and operations of Kempower’s charging systems, both for its customers and for its own charging sites as charge point operator. We have recently reported about Kempower’s MCS know-how and experience after the Live Winter Days event held in Norrkoping, Sweden, last week.

A total of 15 sites have already gone live in Finland during the first phases of the collaboration, with a highlight being the installation of Kempower’s first public megawatt charging system (MCS) site in Finland, near the Port of HaminaKotka in Mussalo, Kotka. The focus of new sites will be extending to Sweden during 2026 to help logistic customers across the Nordics to electrify their fleets. Finland’s first public MCS-enabled site is targeted for trucks passing to and from the Port of HaminaKotka.

Kempower to boost MCS in homeland Finland

The Mussalo charging site has been initially equipped with 1,800kW worth of power in the form of three 600kW Kempower Power Units, delivering power to four Kempower Mega Satellites CCS and one Kempower Mega Satellite MCS. Each Mega Satellite CCS can deliver ultra-fast charging of up to 560kW and each Mega Satellite MCS can deliver up to 1.2MW. The station opened to trucks in December 2025.

The ultra-high-speed infrastructure means that e-truck drivers using the station in Kotka will now be able to fully recharge their vehicle within the shortest legally mandated rest stop time of 45 minutes. “Partnering with Plugit helps us to deliver reliable and robust fast charging sites at scale across the Nordics – something that is vital if we are to accelerate the transition and support the infrastructure rollout. We are proud that together we brought the first public MCS truck charging site to Finland, an important milestone and symbol of the turning point we’re at”, stated Erik Kanerva, Sales Director for Northern Europe at Kempower.

“We’re excited to already be building momentum with our work alongside Kempower, with 15 successful projects already delivered. Combining Kempower’s technology and Plugit’s expertise in leading EV charging projects helps us to provide both quality service and solutions – essential foundations for a successful charging business and enabling the electrification of both passenger vehicles and trucks”, added René Graichen, Chief Operating Officer at Plugit.
