Beyonder announces the successful demonstration of a new powerful charging solution for simultaneous fast charging of multiple electric vehicles (EVs).

Just last week, the HEROES H2020 consortium successfully demonstrated a Hybrid Energy Storage Station at Fraunhofer ICT. This win was made possible by combining Beyonder’s high-power batteries with commercially available high-energy batteries, all connected to the low voltage grid!

One of the many benefits of Beyonders´s cell technology is that it is ideal for fast charging applications and grid support, offering long life cycles even at high charging/discharging rates (C-rates).

By utilizing these efficient batteries to deliver the necessary power for rapid charging of several cars simultaneously, we avoid the need for a high voltage grid connection, which simplifies installation, reduces overall costs, and accelerates roll-out of necessary charging infrastructure.

Not only does this solution enable fast charging for multiple EVs at the same time, but it also offers grid support during periods of low charging demand.

As the EU Commission pushes towards its Net Zero targets, developing fast charging solutions for heavy-duty vehicles and public transport is crucial. HEROES has demonstrated a cost-efficient and highly attractive solution for these applications. 

Building on the technological advancements from the HEROES project, Beyonder has commercialized the high power battery cell BePowered and is engaging with partners to create fast-charging solutions. These solutions are designed to offer (MW) charging capabilities with minimal grid demand, facilitating quick charging of vehicles even in areas with grid limitations.

As the Coordinator for the EU-funded HEROES H2020 project, we extend our gratitude to all HEROES project partners for a successful and good collaboration, which has been instrumental in the development of this solution. We also thank the EU Commission for funding the project.
