ABSTRACT: The electrification of heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) is critical for global decarbonization, with Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) enabling rapid charging at up to 3.75 MW for long-haul operations. This study introduces a novel techno-economic model to compare MCS infrastructure across North America, Europe, and China, analyzing technical specifications, deployment scale, grid integration, economic viability, and carbon reduction impacts through 2030. North America prioritizes pilot projects, constrained by grid limitations and policy uncertainties. Europe leverages regulatory mandates to expand infrastructure, while China dominates with proprietary standards and extensive deployments. Challenges include grid overloads, standardization tensions, and high costs, with opportunities in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration and cross-regional technology transfer. By integrating Monte Carlo simulations, pilot testing data, and detailed testing requirements, this analysis provides new insights into optimizing MCS for sustainable transport.
