Project summary: 

Electric cars are expected to be an important part of Europe´s low-carbon transport system. However, inadequate infrastructure for fast and widespread charging is a challenge that must be solved before the EU can fully invest in electric cars.  

The objective of HEROES is fast and efficient charging of electric cars. HEROES will develop and prove a hybrid high-power / high-energy stationary storage system for fast charging of Electric Vehicles (EV) to be used in medium-size charging stations connected to the low voltage grids, without the need to invest in improving the grid power. Beyonder will lead a consortium consisting of ten European partners with the aim of developing an energy storage system for fast electric vehicle charging.  

Project period: 2021-2024
Pilot demonstration: autumn 2023

Partners: Beyonder, Siemens AG, ElringKlinger, Lithium Balance, Bestoraged, ENSO, Sustainable Innovations, European Association for Storage of Energy, The Institute for Energy Technology, and Aalborg University
