    The megawatt charging plug for EV semi trucks is coming to ChargePoint.

    The charging network operator says the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) standard is coming to its Power Link 2000 stations. It’ll support 1.2 megawatts now and 3 megawatts in the future. There aren’t a lot of supported commercial electric vehicles yet, although early Tesla Semi units were on board.

Many aren’t yet used to that instant torque and the smooth, no-engine rumbling acceleration of an EV, either — but they will as personal transport continues to shift to electric.
