National Grid and Piot Power build grid grade batteries and electric car fast charging stations

According to foreign media reports, National Grid and PivotPower are building the world's first 2GW grid batteries and electric vehicle rapid charging stations with a total investment of about 1.6 billion pounds(about US$ 2.14 billion). In the future, 45 rapid charging stations will be established at electric substations to build the world's largest grid-grade 50MW battery network.

Each fast charging station can support 100 150KW electric vehicle charging equipment and can also be used as a charging center for electric buses and large transportation fleets.

PivotPower plans to build 10 electric vehicle rapid charging stations and operate them within the next 18 months. The company will select the location of the rapid charging station near the town and the main arterial road. In addition, the company promised that the charging rate of its equipment is extremely competitive. PivotPower said it would also offer a cheap version of the charging service, reducing the cost of owning a new generation of electric vehicles.

"The company wants to make sure the UK's energy system keeps up with the times and accelerate the transformation of electric vehicles to help the British government improve air quality and meet climate targets," said Matt Allen, chief executive. The company is eager to share its vision and is committed to promoting electric vehicles, especially with local large fleet agencies, supermarkets and logistics companies. "

PivotPower is currently working with research institutions and strategic investors. Future partners may include: car companies, charging station suppliers, technology companies and energy companies. (This picture is selected from brand-e. biz)
