Tesla Semi charging.
Two chargers, one depot. Tesla supplies the hardware. PPM builds the site around it.

For overnight. About 60% in four hours.
Not only Tesla.
The Megawatt Charging System (MCS) is an open standard designed for medium- and heavy-duty commercial electric vehicles such as freight trucks and transit buses. Under SAE J3271 it supports up to 1,250 volts and 3,000 amps, enough to deliver 3.75 MW into very large batteries.
PPM has been a Tesla partner for more than a decade. We have also secured partnerships with newer manufacturers, including makers of medium-voltage heavy-duty charging equipment.

One plug, 3.75 MW.
The MCS connector moves megawatt power through two large DC pins. Four small pins handle communication and detection, and a dedicated pin handles earth.

Most electric vehicles on the road still use smaller DC fast-charging plugs, so mixed sites usually get both.

We build the whole site.
A megawatt charger is a power project first. Solar, storage and EV charging are what PPM has built since 2009.
Grid
Utility upgrade, transformer and switchgear.
Storage
Batteries cover the peaks and trim demand charges.
Solar
Canopies and arrays offset daytime energy.

Good questions.
How fast does a Tesla Semi charge?
At a Megacharger, a Tesla Semi takes up to 1.2 MW and recovers about 60% of its battery in 30 minutes, according to Tesla. On a 125 kW Basecharger the same 60% takes about four hours.
What is megawatt charging?
DC charging at roughly 1,000 kW and above, delivered through the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) connector. The MCS standard is rated to 3.75 MW: 3,000 amps at 1,250 volts.
Can other electric trucks use the same chargers?
The current Megacharger and Basecharger use the open MCS connector that other truck makers are adopting. Trucks with CCS ports need CCS dispensers, so mixed fleets usually get both.
How much power does a site need?
Add up the cabinets. Two 1.2 MW cabinets can draw 2.4 MW at full output, which normally calls for a dedicated medium-voltage service, a pad-mounted transformer and new switchgear.
How much does a Megacharger cost?
Tesla lists the Megacharger from $188,000 for one 1.2 MW cabinet and two posts, before tax and installation (May 2026). Site work is priced after a site visit.
Is there still a federal tax credit for EV chargers?
No. The Section 30C charger credit ended for equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. Federal investment credits still apply to qualifying commercial battery storage. Ask your tax advisor how they apply to your project.
