Mobile BESS Powers Remote Heavy Equipment

Cars That Think

The Baltimore-based company has begun to build mobile battery units that can store enough energy to back up an entire hospital or, in this case, energize a harbor cleanup crew. 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.
