Fast Charging Everywhere
Thanks to Battery Buffering
Fast charging for battery-electric vehicles can significantly improve the everyday usability and acceptance of this drive system, which, on a local level, offers zero emissions and is carbon neutral. To ensure that fast charging is possible even if the existing electricity grid does not provide enough power, manufacturers of charging stations are now offering systems that are equipped with a battery as a buffer to store energy. New concepts even allow bidirectional charging.
