ADS-TEC Energy’s ChargePost, a multifunctional fast-charging station, has been awarded the German Innovation Award 2024. This accolade highlights ChargePost’s remarkable design, branding, and innovation, marking another significant achievement for the company this year.
Key Highlights:
- Award Recognition: ChargePost received the German Innovation Award in the Excellence in Business to Business: E-Mobility Technologies category.
- Innovative Design: Features an integrated battery system that enables ultra-fast EV charging, even on limited power grids.
- Commercial Appeal: Ideal for fleet vehicles, company parking lots, supermarkets, and other businesses.
On May 14, at the Futurium in Berlin, the jury lauded ChargePost’s unique combination of features. The integrated battery system allows for ultra-fast charging of EVs even on limited power grids, making it an attractive solution for various business applications.
Product Features:
ChargePost is a battery-buffered fast charging station that provides off-grid ultra-fast charging for electric vehicles (EVs). Developed and produced in Germany, this charging station can charge EVs within minutes, eliminating long waiting times. It features two large HD screens on the sides, offering striking opportunities for advertising and information dissemination.
In a statement, the jury noted, “With the ChargePost fast charging station from ADS-TEC Energy, long waiting times when charging electric cars are a thing of the past, as the system always maintains a high charging capacity thanks to the buffer battery.”
Benefits and Opportunities:
The German Innovation Awards acknowledge products, projects, and pioneering achievements that sustainably improve life through innovation and progress. Established by the German Bundestag and supported by German industry, these awards emphasize the significance of advancements in design and technology.
There are already hundreds of ChargePost fast-charging points across Europe. The integrated battery storage system stores energy to boost charging power as needed, allowing up to 300 kW charging even on power-limited grids. This capability has proven effective in busy charging locations, where ChargePost can achieve over 1 MW per day.
Economic and Environmental Impact:
ChargePost presents new revenue opportunities for infrastructure operators. By using self-generated PV electricity for charging, operators can reduce energy procurement costs, countering rising grid charges. Additionally, ChargePost’s bidirectional battery can cap peak loads or feed back into the grid. By linking multiple ChargePosts to form a virtual power plant, operators can trade energy and benefit from fluctuating electricity prices.
Sustainable Solutions:
ChargePost’s innovative features make it a sustainable solution, bringing ultra-fast charging to places where traditional charging stations are impractical, such as rural areas far from highways, charging parks, or city centers.
