Overview
The large-scale adoption of heavy-duty electric trucks is dependent on a universally agreed charging standard. With this grant, the University of Delaware, in partnership with several major truck manufacturers and national labs, will develop the Megawatt Charging Standard (MCS). Once tested and approved by international standards-setting bodies, MCS will be deployed globally. (Substrategy: Electrification)
