Battery energy storage to support electric vehicle charge points; providing additional capacity and helping to decarbonise charging.
Powering EV charging
As the demand for electric vehicles grows, more charging will be required in workplaces, fleet depots and in public places. To charge at scale, there is often a requirement for more power capacity than is available on site. Battery energy storage can provide an alternative option to EV charging load management.
Additional power when you need it
Many sites have connection constraints which mean that they can only access a certain level of power from the grid. It’s a common misconception that a battery energy storage system must be combined with sun or wind generation. In fact, our systems can work on a site to store available power from the grid to help manage the site load and provide flexibility for constrained sites.
On sites without the power required for EV charge points
For sites experiencing peak loads at certain times of the day
Offer greener and cheaper energy

Two E-STOR systems, installed at Nottingham City Council’s Eastcroft Depot, will demonstrate how a fleet depot can intelligently manage the energy demands caused by vehicle electrification. The systems will work alongside bi-directional EV charging, solar to demonstrate a new energy ecosystem.
As part of Dundee City Council’s EV charging hubs, our system monitors grid loads to ensure the demand can always be met and that the council does not exceed the capacity on site. Our battery storage feeds directly from the PV array maximising green energy and reducing costs.
In Germany and Belgium, our systems are supporting Allego to enable charging on grid-constrained motorway sites. The lack of grid connection means that battery storage is an integral part of every charge, providing the additional capacity needed and using Open Charge Point Protocol to activate a charge.
