Kempower introduced the Mega Satellite Flex at the ACT Expo in Las Vegas: the first dispenser supporting both high-power CCS (up to 560 kW, 700 A) and MCS (up to 1.2 MW, 1,500 A) from one unit, compatible with new and existing Kempower distributed power systems. Sales open July 2026; a payment-terminal option and DC metering for CE/IEC markets are available.

The product logic is transition insurance: infrastructure investors have hesitated to install MCS-only hardware while the vehicle fleet is still 95%+ CCS. A dual-connector dispenser lets sites earn from today’s fleet at full power while being MCS-ready at zero retrofit cost — directly answering the utilisation-versus-future-proofing dilemma that slows CPO investment. Kempower claims the flexibility raises site utilisation and shortens payback from day one.

For depot and hub planners: dual-connector dispensers change the site-design default. If your 2026 depot build doesn’t include at least one MCS-capable position, you’re designing for obsolescence — MAN’s MCS trucks are in series production, Mercedes and Scania ship MCS-ready, and Milence’s MILES project alone plans 284 MCS points by 2027.
