ADS-TEC ChargePost: HPC Charger with Advertising Display and Battery Storage
ADS-TEC Energy has introduced the ChargePost, a battery-based fast charging system designed to support the public grid infrastructure without additional grid expansion and with minimal space requirements. Similar to the concepts of technology partners Jolt and the Allgäu start-up Numbat, the system focuses on multifunctionality and offers two charging points with a DC power of up to 300 kW for one vehicle and 150 kW for two simultaneously used charging points on less than two square meters of footprint. Additionally, configurable battery capacities ranging from 144 to 201 kWh and up to two optional 75-inch advertising displays covering the entire height on the exterior surfaces are available.
"With our ChargePost, we can offer a new level of innovation in the most compact combination of highest charging performance and maximum size of advertising displays in battery-powered 'all-in-one' charging solutions, which represents a significant advancement for ultra-fast charging in urban areas and anywhere without suitable power connections for high-power charging. We aim to make a crucial contribution to the expansion of charging infrastructure and actively promote the energy transition," explains Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy.
Portable system also for depots
The system has been available for order in Germany and Europe since December and is expected to be available in the USA soon. The compact system comes with power electronics and air conditioning, is designed to be quiet and can be easily and quickly set up on flat ground with a forklift. It connects via "Plug & Play" directly to the existing, limited-capacity low-voltage grid. This makes charging electric vehicles almost anywhere possible, especially in urban and rural areas: at gas stations where powerful grids are often unavailable, at depots of transport and logistics companies or fleet operators whose vehicles operate in multi-shift mode and need quick charging, the provider advertises. Office and commercial buildings with visitor traffic can also offer an attractive service, as can car dealers who offer test drives, service, and maintenance for electric vehicles. In large residential buildings or quarters, the system is intended to be an alternative to conventional AC wall boxes, provided these cannot be installed in sufficient quantities and everywhere.
Battery modules can be replaced individually
The integrated charging cable with an uncooled CCS1/CCS2 connector has a length of at least three meters. The 10-inch touchscreen interface is user-friendly and includes an easy-to-use payment terminal. The manufacturer also highlights the maintenance-friendly and easy access to modular functional units such as battery elements, cooling, and monitors. Battery modules can be individually replaced as needed, and intelligent control is said to optimize the system for ideal operation, thereby increasing lifecycle and efficiency.
The optionally offered one or two 75-inch displays on the side surfaces of the system provide an advertising space in HD/4K image/video quality, enabling operators to generate additional revenue through marketing. The system allows for the additional integration of a camera for motion detection or video recording, ensuring an energy-efficient and secure operation. In conjunction with a PV system, inexpensive self-generated electricity can be used for charging electric vehicles or for grid services. The ability to send stored energy back to the grid bidirectionally is expected to be available from the first half of 2023, opening up further business models.
Grid expansion with high flexibility
According to EU directives, around 43 million electrically powered cars and four million light commercial vehicles are expected to be on Europe's roads by 2030, requiring the corresponding charging infrastructure: About 7.5 million public charging points need to be created, and thus an average of 14,000 charging stations would need to be installed per week, the provider calculates. The use of flexibly deployable battery-buffered ultra-fast charging stations is also expected to help reduce the total number of charging stations needed, as the high performance allows significantly more vehicles to be charged in a shorter time. The system was nominated for the German Future Prize of the Federal President in 2022 and was elevated to its "Circle of Excellence."
Technology partner Jolt, which now also relies on ADS-TEC systems, started its first ultra-fast charging service in Hamburg in the summer in collaboration with EG Group (Eurogarages), ESSO, and ADS-TEC Energy.
