Offering a mobile charging solution, the Mobile Megawatt Charging System (MWCS) from DIMAAG-EV can deliver extra versatility for electric construction machines. The California-based firm has developed a novel rough terrain vehicle that can drive itself to charge electric machines when required.
The firm says that the MWCS provides a fast, and practical way to charge off-road electric work vehicles. This brings innovative technology in high-power fast charging on a mobile vehicle, offering versatility for customers. Targeted for use with heavy machinery such as construction or quarry equipment, DIMAAG’s MWCS offers the potential to address power supply challenges in the field.
The 4WD unit is effectively a giant booster battery on wheels according to the company. With 1MW capability, this can recharge an electric construction machine in just 15 minutes, while an operator takes a periodic break. The unit can then be recharged overnight for use again the following day.
The firm says that the unit benefits from advanced thermal management technology that boosts safety and life-cycle to deliver improved total cost of ownership. The company also claims that its remote controllable vehicle offers manoeuvrability and can charge multiple machines, with autonomous control available as an option.
