MAN’s Smart Charging Cube
The Smart Charging Cube is essentially a battery with power electronics and a charging station. The battery is available with storage capacities ranging from 500 kWh to 1,100 kWh. One to four charging points can be implemented per cube, with a maximum charging capacity of 400 kW. As a battery storage unit, it is also capable of supplying an external MCS charging station, enabling charging capacities of 1,000 kW.
Various charging functions are possible, including peak shaving, dynamic power consumption and bidirectional charging. The system, which can be purchased, leased or rented, is now available to MAN customers for the first time.
