In August, MCS enters the pilot phase with a product innovation: CAPOS.
CAPOS is a payment terminal that allows any number of charging points to be operated centrally and charged by card.
The system is thus in line with current legislation, which stipulates that from 2024, new public charging points must be equipped with a common card payment system in addition to the operator‘s own payment options.
CAPOS is flexible in its choice of network provider and payment system, and can therefore be used independently of charging station operators and throughout Europe.
This means that operators of public charging parks can plan their charging infrastructure flexibly, centrally and easily, and retrofit it for the future.
The charging process and payment are intuitive and easy for the user thanks to a touch display.
Hardware and software development as well as integration are centrally bundled at MCS, and production is also carried out in-house in Germany.

E-Mobility at MCS: We have been a partner for charge controllers in the field of AC charging technology for almost 10 years. Now also with our own E-Smart.
For the final test phase of the digital charge controller DDCC according to EN15118, we built our own charging station and completed our test environment by purchasing a smart eq of the latest generation.
Our standard charge controller is the central control unit for 2 independent charging points in charging terminals and wall boxes. Hardware and software development of this plug-and-play solution comes from us.
The intelligent phase changeover switch APUM avoids grid overloads when charging e-vehicles and has been available on the market as a product since 2019. Here, too, we developed the hardware and firmware.
