No matter how committed you are to upgrading your auto dealership with EV charging, you may face challenges en route to an electrifying transformation.
Perhaps your budget is tight, the underlying electrical infrastructure is lacking, or your grid just doesn’t have the juice.
That’s why Hypercharge offers a wide and flexible range of hardware offerings, including adaptable battery-integrated EV chargers.
Using innovative battery technology, these energy efficient powerhouses can help you meet OEM mandates while lowering installation costs—even when electricity is in short supply.
Affordable Installation
Battery-integrated EV chargers have lower energy demands than their standard DC charging station counterparts, which can let you side-step costly upgrades to your electrical infrastructure.
Working with existing infrastructure also streamlines the design and installation process—no excess construction, complicated permitting, or operational downtime for your dealership.
It all adds up to a faster, more cost-effective installation that can be completed in a matter of hours on a lower-voltage grid.
Flexible Placement
Skipping electrical infrastructure upgrades opens up more options for the locations of your EV chargers.
You can make the most of your site’s features, focusing on factors such as charger visibility, traffic flow, and proximity to your showroom or service area.
Need to move a charger after the fact? Relocating a battery-integrated charging station is relatively simple process, so you can change or expand your EV charger setup as needed.
Lower Power Demands
Battery-integrated EV chargers take in electricity at a slower rate than they discharge, lowering power demands during refueling.
Take a DC fast charger with an output of up to 200 kw, for example. This fast exchange of energy would gobble a ton of power from the grid if you were to recharge the battery at the same rate.
But with adjustable input settings, you can slowly refill the “fuel tank” at a lower level. This “slow in, fast out” approach decreases strain on the local power grid, and makes EV charging possible in areas where the electricity supply is limited or upgrading infrastructure is prohibitively expensive.
Adjustable Power Input
Some battery-integrated DC chargers allow you to set a cap on their output that corresponds with power availability.
Setting this limit during the commissioning of the charger means you don’t have to downgrade your hardware in order to avoid straining the grid.
If more power becomes available after installation, all you need is a service appointment to adjust the output upwards.
Hypercharge Pro Tip: If you integrated batteries are depleted more frequently than expected, you can add additional capacity to extend the charging availability of your stations.
Off-Peak Usage
Further customize your power usage by scheduling integrated battery recharges during off-peak hours.
Not only will you take advantage of lower electricity rates, you’ll also shave down your dealership’s peak usage by charging during periods when other energy demands are at their lowest.
