Mobile BESS Powers Remote Heavy Equipment

Cars That Think

The improvements to both the chemistry and engineering of lithium-ion batteries has made it possible to move megawatt-level power on the back of a semi truck. Power Up Connect got its start, in 2008, providing small power stations that allowed people at concerts or sporting events to recharge their phones.
