Charging Explained

How Charging Works

From wall socket to megawatt — the physics of power, connector standards, and exactly how many kilometres each minute of charging buys you.

1 — AC vs DC

AC · Växelström

11–22 kW

Grid power, converted onboard

AC is what comes from the wall. The truck's onboard charger converts it to DC before it reaches the battery — which caps the speed. Best for overnight depot charging where time isn't critical.

DC · Likström

250–2,000 kW

Straight to the battery

DC chargers bypass the onboard converter and push power directly into the battery at high voltage and current. CCS and MCS are DC-only standards built for rapid en-route charging.

Gen 2 · 705 kWh

Range formula: km = (kW × hours) ÷ 1.05 kWh/km. Based on Windrose Gen 2 at standard load, 80 km/h. The 1.05 kWh/km figure changes with speed, temperature, and trailer weight.

Steel-Haulage Trial · New South Wales & Victoria

From November 2024 to November 2025 a Windrose E700 hauled steel coil for a major Australian logistics fleet — mostly in B‑Double configuration (prime mover + two trailers, 9 axles) at up to 68 t GCM, laden outbound and empty return. Every figure below was measured on public roads, including the sustained ~14% grades of Mt Ousley (NSW). Results are grouped by driving condition; implied range is shown on a 705 kWh energy basis.

Implied range = 705 kWh ÷ measured consumption, extrapolated to 0% SOC; operational planning should apply a state-of-charge floor. Consumption measured on-vehicle. 1 Jul 2025 legs were run in heavy rain with 33–52 km/h winds. B‑Double = prime mover + two trailers (3‑3 axle groups, 9 axles total). Mt Ousley climb segments are short, steep sub-sections of the Port Kembla → Sydney legs and are also included within their parent-leg averages.
