This working groups focusses on MCS (Megawatt Charging System) implementation in EVerest
Meetings for this WG are currently on a bi-weekly basis, Thursday, 4:30pm - 5:30pm CET. Please check the EVerest calendar for the meeting entry.
Meeting Notes:
2025-01-16:
Intro:
Introduction round of people/companies and plans for MCS of each
Roadmap:
Non of companies in the call have the development of MCS as top prio.
It is seen as something they need this year, but not in Q1/Q2.
WattEV/Charge America is working on MCS with 4 deployed MCS stations (1.2MW) and working on implementing MCS comms into these systems (using CCS DIN/ISO)
MCS impact on EVerest:
Discussed what would need to be developed to get MCS Support in EVerest
The IEC 61851 PWM CP/PP implementation is not part of EVerest.
PIONIX has an open source example implementation for the BelayBox.
For MSC this would need a new/updated implementation for the new way MSC works.
For high level communication, SLAC is no longer needed and some other extensions are added in the -20Amd.
To do a good implementation into EVerest, a new MCS EvseManager would be needed.
The current EvseManager is really a CCS EvseManager. Adding a MCS EvseManager would create a lot of duplicate code.
A refactoring of the existing EvseManager is needed to make reuse of code possible, create something like libraries or something.
