Executive Summary
The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) standard enables Class 8 trucks to charge in 30 minutes during mandatory driver breaks, making long-haul electrification viable.
The Megawatt Challenge
Electrifying an 80,000-lb truck requires massive energy throughput. The new MCS standard pushes up to 3,000 amps, charging massive 800kWh packs in the time it takes a driver to eat lunch. This power level is equivalent to the average consumption of a supermarket, requiring dedicated substation infrastructure at truck stops.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Flip
For trucking, TCO is king. Electricity offers stable pricing compared to diesel, and electric drivetrains eliminate transmission/engine maintenance. With MCS enabling high utilization, the math for electric trucking flips to positive ROI by 2026 for most regional haul routes.
The Hydrogen Debate
While Hydrogen has long been touted for trucking, the efficiency of battery-electric (75% well-to-wheel) vs Hydrogen (30%) is driving the market toward BEV for all but the most extreme range use cases. EV.NET is the definitive domain for this logistics transition.
Own the Digital Infrastructure
As the market for Trucking matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
