Electric cars, vans and trucks are reaching rural areas, and so are electric tractors, delivery vehicles and utility fleets. Rural charging projects often face long distances between sites, modest local grid capacity and demand that varies through the seasons. MPMC's BCH Series mobile BESS chargers suit these conditions well: each unit stores its own energy, charges at high power from a modest supply and can move between communities as needs change.
Why Mobile Storage Charging Suits Rural Projects
High Power From a Modest Connection
A BCH unit fills its battery steadily from whatever supply is available and releases the energy at much higher charging power. The BCH-275-200 delivers 150 kW of DC charging from 80 kW of AC input, while the BCH-500-1000 stores 1,075 kWh and delivers 500 kW, enough for sustained fast charging along rural routes used by electric trucks and coaches.
This means rural projects can offer genuine fast charging at locations where installing a conventional high-power charger would require a new or upgraded connection.
Solar-Powered Charging for Rural Sites
Rural locations often have open land for solar panels. BCH-275-200 and larger models include a dedicated solar connection, and pairing BCH units with photovoltaics converts zero-cost solar energy into charging revenue. Where no supply is available, units can be charged at a depot and brought to site, or recharged from a generator set.
MPMC BCH-500-1000 containerised mobile BESS charger on a rural site, providing outdoor fast charging for electric trucks and vehicles.

Flexible Deployment Models
Rotating Service and Seasonal Peaks
Because BCH units are mobile, one asset can serve several villages on a schedule, follow seasonal tourist traffic, or support harvest-time and event peaks. The BCH-275-200 rides on a 3.5-tonne trailer and can recharge from a public fast charger through its CCS2 DC input in about one hour, while six compact BCH-80-70 units fit in a single 20-foot container for delivery to regional programmes.
Rotating service also helps programme managers test demand before committing to permanent infrastructure, using charging data from the 4G EMS to decide where a fixed hub or a long-term mobile unit will serve the community best.
Charging Plus Local Power
From the BCH-275-200 upwards, every unit also supplies AC power, from 125 kW to 500 kW, so the same equipment can run lighting, community events, workshops or emergency loads. The BCH-800-600 and BCH-500-1000 provide UPS-grade AC output for seamless backup.

Simple to Run Across Dispersed Sites
Rural projects need equipment that runs itself. Integrated SCADA and EMS automate operation, 4G connectivity enables full remote monitoring and control from a central office, OCPP 1.6 connects units to charging networks and optional RFID payment makes charging easy for drivers. Blade LFP batteries rated for 6,000 cycles at 90% depth of discharge, sealed liquid-cooled packs and C4 coating support years of outdoor operation.
MPMC supports each project with remote diagnostics through its SCADA/EMS cloud platform, on-site commissioning by MPMC engineers and APP/Web monitoring, so a small regional team can manage units spread across a wide area.

The approach is proven in Europe, from off-grid electric construction machinery charging in Norway to solar-storage and renewable-powered charging sites in the Netherlands. BCH-275-200 and larger models carry a 3-year system warranty and a 5-year battery performance warranty.
Planning a Rural Charging Project With MPMC
• Map the communities, routes and vehicle types to be served
• Note available supply, solar potential and land at each site
• Decide between fixed placement and rotating service
• Agree payment and network integration arrangements
