Frost Radar: Ultrafast Commercial Vehicle Charging in Europe, 2025

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation That Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

European commercial vehicle charging is evolving into a landscape defined by flexible, ultrahigh-power ecosystems. While the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) remains the headline technology for long-haul transport, the immediate reality is the deployment of 350 kW+ Combined Charging System (CCS) hardware. This class of ultrafast infrastructure is important not just for heavy trucks, but for the rapidly electrifying light and medium commercial vehicles, where rapid turnaround times are essential for last-mile delivery and utility fleets. A key trend is the shift from static to dynamic power architectures. Kempower, Delta Electronics, and Autel are engineering systems that can pool massive amounts of power (e.g., 600 kW to 1 MW) and intelligently distribute it across multiple dispensers. This allows a single site to blast a 40-tonne truck with 400 kW+ during a driver's break or split that same power overnight to charge a fleet of delivery vans simultaneously. The strategic focus for manufacturers has moved beyond raw peak power to asset utilization. The ability to serve mixed fleets of high-voltage heavy trucks and high-frequency delivery vans using the same hardware is becoming the primary differentiator. Companies are integrating high-power CCS and MCS capabilities into unified, hybrid hubs, ensuring that infrastructure deployed today for vans and medium trucks remains relevant for the heavy-duty wave of tomorrow.
