Battery-integrated chargers offer a cure for America’s weak electric infrastructure

Charged EVs

Adding batteries to the system offers several benefits: coupled with on-site generation, it allows charging to be offered at off-grid locations; it enables peak shaving to avoid utility demand charges; and in some cases it allows a site to avoid expensive grid connection upgrades. Alex Urist: Coming in from the grid, it’s AC.
