  • France hosts first Kempower Mega Satellite deployment via Sowatt Solutions
    December 16, 2025, 4:26 AM EST. France marks the commissioning of Kempower's first Mega Satellite, a scalable megawatt charging hub capable of delivering up to 1.2 MW by pairing two 600 kW units. The system can deploy MCS connectors for 1.2 MW or dual CCS connectors at up to 560 kW each. Initial deployments in Norway, Denmark and Sweden use MCS in depot settings; the public fast-charging hub on the Mont-Blanc route in Vougy uses a CCS-only version for heavy-duty trucks. Sowatt Solutions operates three Kempower Satellites for cars, but they are distinct from the Mega Satellite. Kempower notes the project demonstrates a scalable, versatile solution for fleets and private drivers, backed by France 2030 ADEME funding. The site sits on a key France-Italy axis near the Mont-Blanc Tunnel.
