IEC TS 63379
IEC TS 63379:2026 specifies the vehicle connector, vehicle inlet and cable assembly used for megawatt DC charging. It is the IEC technical specification for the coupler hardware associated with the Megawatt Charging System. The specification applies up to 1,500 V DC and currents up to and including 3,000 A, with thermal sensing or thermal transport and sensing as part of the system architecture. IEC TS 63379 covers the connection hardware. Requirements for MCS DC EV supply equipment are set out separately in IEC 61851-23-3:2026.
