Ultra-High Power Charging (HPC): MIDA’s 500A CCS2 Liquid-Cooled Breakthrough

Quick Answer

The ultimate frontier of EV charging is the 500A Liquid-Cooled CCS2 system. Capable of delivering a staggering 500kW-600kW of power, it is the only solution that enables 5-minute charging for long-range EVs. MIDA’s liquid-cooled breakthrough uses a non-conductive, high-efficiency coolant to remove heat directly from the cable and pins, allowing for a thinner, lighter, and more flexible cable that any driver can handle. For High-Power Charging (HPC) networks, MIDA’s 500A technology is the standard for the 2026 supercharging experience, ensuring zero power throttling and maximum throughput at every stall.

Key Takeaways

  • 800kW Ready: Supports the future of ultra-fast charging at 1000V / 500A+.
  • Active Cooling: Integrated coolant loop keeps the handle and cable at room temperature.
  • Ergonomic Superiority: 50% lighter than air-cooled cables of equivalent power.
  • Safety Excellence: Leak detection and redundant thermal sensors for total protection.

Main Body: The 500A Revolution

Traditional air-cooled cables reach their physical and safety limit at 250A. To go further, liquid cooling is mandatory. MIDA’s CCS2 charging cable (and our NACS version) utilizes a proprietary “Direct-to-Pin” cooling architecture. By circulating coolant inside the contact pins themselves, we eliminate the primary source of heat before it can spread to the handle. This results in a “cool-touch” experience for the user and enables the vehicle to take its absolute maximum current for the entire duration of the SoC curve. This is the hardware that makes the “charging stop” as fast as a “petrol stop.”

FAQ

  1. Is the coolant safe for the environment? Yes, we use biodegradable, non-conductive fluids.
  2. What if the cable leaks? MIDA chargers include instant leak-detection and shutdown.
  3. Does it work with standard CCS2 cars? Yes, it is fully backwards compatible.
  4. Is the cooling unit built into the cable? No, the coolant circulates from a unit in the charger.
  5. How much lighter is it? It feels like a standard AC cable but has 10x the power.
  6. What is the certifications does it hold? Fully TUV, CE, and UL certified for high-power use.
  7. Is it ready for Megawatt Charging (MCS)? This technology is the foundation for our MCS solutions.
