EV charging provider Autel Energy has deployed an integrated EV charging and battery energy storage system (BESS) at its manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina. This installation, the company’s first completed project in the US, showcases the scalability of its integrated design and deployment model.
The site features a 250 kWh battery cabinet paired with a 125 kW power conversion system. The installation supports one Autel MaxiCharger DC Fast and two DC Compact units.
Autel expects to complete several additional EV+BESS projects for customers before the end of the year.
“These first utility-approved EV+BESS projects prove what’s possible when great engineering meets real-world customer needs,” said Michelle Luo, Chief Revenue Officer, Autel Energy North America. “Starting today, our integrated EV+BESS solutions are available for quoting, with installation timelines that can deliver energized sites before the end of the year.”
Autel provides end-to-end project services for customers, from site modeling to design and engineering, through commissioning and monitoring. Its scalable offerings range from 250 kWh to multi-MWh deployments, and feature a modular architecture that allows expansion with additional chargers, storage and renewable generation. Customers include fleets, CPOs, municipalities and utilities.
An integrated EV+BESS solution enables features that can reduce energy costs and support grid stability, including peak shaving, load shifting and demand-charge management.
Autel’s battery energy storage systems are UL 9540A-certified, and its projects are aligned with interconnection requirements across North America.
