How battery energy storage can support EV charging demands

Find out how battery energy storage is supporting EV charging by providing the additional power that sites need.

17/02/2023

In a time when the UK energy demands are rising, EV charging requirements are placing more pressure on local grids. Battery energy storage systems use batteries to store and provide power as and when it is needed. Importantly, for EV charging infrastructure, BESS can deliver the additional energy needed to manage peak demand or avoid the need for expensive local infrastructure upgrades.

Benefits

Overcome power constraints where a site does not have the power that chargers require.

Defer infrastructure upgrades and provide a load management solution.

Decarbonise EV charging by integrating renewable generation.

Reduce costs by maximising on-site renewables or charging using off-peak tariffs.

BESS can be a cost-effective solution with modelled payback periods, making it easy to build the business case.

Who are Connected Energy?

The energy world is changing. We’re here to power the charge ahead.

We’re world-leaders in battery energy storage systems. By repurposing used electric vehicle battery packs, we create an energy storage system to help businesses manage their power more effectively. We work closely with EV charging companies and local authorities to provide additional support for EV charging infrastructure. Find out more about our work with the EV charging sector.
