Truck manufacturer Scania has announced that the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) will be commercially available for its electric trucks beginning in early 2026. MCS is an international standard that supports DC charging at a maximum current of 3,000 amps. Scania says its first iteration of MCS, featuring liquid-cooled connectors, will deliver up to 1,000 amps, which will enable charging at up to 750 kW—roughly double the speed of today’s CCS2 standard.

Toshiba is now offering samples of its new SCiBNb lithium-ion battery, designed for electric buses, trucks and other commercial EVs. Potential users can evaluate the battery for themselves by ordering a sample. The SCiBNb cell features a niobium titanium oxide (NTO) anode. Acccording to the company, this gives it an energy density comparable to that of carbon-based batteries with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathodes, as well as distinct advantages in charging speed and lifespan.
