32. Global Decarbonization and the MIDA North America Strategy

The 150kW NACS CCS Combo station is more than just a product; it is a strategic pillar in the fight against climate change.

Decarbonizing the American Highway

Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. By providing reliable 150kW infrastructure, MIDA is enabling the “decarbonization of distance,” making long-range electric travel a reality for millions of Americans.

Supporting the U.S. Supply Chain

MIDA is committed to the North American market. We are actively expanding our U.S.-based support and parts distribution network, ensuring that our stations contribute to the local economy while providing world-class technology.

The Circular Economy

Our stations are designed with the end of life in mind. The steel cabinet, copper busbars, and aluminum heat sinks are all selected with their end-of-life journey in mind. The galvanized steel cabinet is 98% recyclable and stamped with material identification codes so that dismantlers can sort it without guesswork. Copper busbars are bolted rather than welded wherever practical, allowing clean recovery of the pure metal, and the aluminum heat sinks are designed as separate, labeled assemblies rather than cast into the chassis. Even the SiC power modules are designed for disassembly: when a module reaches end of life, its aluminum baseplate and copper substrate are recoverable, leaving only a fraction of the electronics to enter the waste stream.

This circular thinking extends beyond materials to the architecture of the product itself. Because the 150kW NACS CCS Combo station uses modular, field-replaceable power modules, a station rarely needs to be retired as a whole. When a module is upgraded or replaced, the old unit is returned to MIDA’s refurbishment program, where it is tested, reconditioned, and made available as a certified spare at a fraction of the cost of a new module. This keeps working hardware in service, reduces the demand for virgin materials, and gives operators a lower-cost path to keep their stations at peak performance. The same program supports our U.S. parts distribution network: refurbished modules are stocked regionally, so uptime is protected even as the industry’s component generations evolve.

Finally, we are extending the circular economy from the hardware to the packaging and logistics chain. Stations ship in reusable, high-density foam and steel-reinforced crates that are collected and returned after installation, cutting packaging waste by over 60% per deployment. Our North American warehouse program also consolidates shipments so that a single delivery can serve multiple sites in a region, reducing both transport emissions and freight cost per megawatt installed. Sustainability at MIDA is not a separate initiative — it is the way we design, manufacture, and support every station, from the first kilogram of steel to the final act of recycling decades from now.

Conclusion: Powering the American Energy Transition

The 150kW NACS CCS Combo station is a strategic asset in the decarbonization of the American highway. It delivers the reliability and power that long-range electric travel demands, it supports the U.S. economy through local parts distribution and refurbishment, and it is designed from the ground up to minimize its own environmental footprint. For utilities, highway authorities, and network operators, MIDA offers more than a charger — we offer a durable, circular, and dependable partner for the next three decades of the energy transition.
