ORLEN Charge has launched Poland’s first public Megawatt Charging System (MCS) infrastructure, specifically designed for heavy-duty transport. The stations are located at the Stobiecko Szlacheckie East and West service areas along the A1 motorway in the Łódź Voivodeship.

The infrastructure supports charging power of up to 1.5 MW to reduce downtime for heavy vehicles, allowing drivers to recharge during mandatory rest periods. The sites also include CCS connectors capable of delivering up to 600 kW to accommodate both modern and older electric truck models. This development aims to align with European Union AFIR regulations regarding high-power charging infrastructure along TEN-T transport corridors.
