ZPN’s HUBZ & STR: Smarter Energy Management Solutions for the UK
Battery Energy Storage
Leading British Energy Specialist ZPN Energy To The Rescue
The ZPN HUBZ chargers, that work on CCS and CHAdeMO enabled EVs, can be installed as public chargers and destination chargers.
With up to 50kW of power, these can give around 15 miles of charge per minute on an average EV. The difference here though, is the battery boosted technology. This means there is NO reliance on the grid at peak times, allowing the batteries to charge when demand and cost is lower, and be used as it peaks!
The HUBZ charger can be installed by a local authority or EV charging specialist and even businesses. Better still its Business Energy Management (BEMs) and energy storage, which means you can install 50KW rapid chargers where normally you would have slow 7 or 22kw units.
Another option however, is looking at the bigger picture, integrating a combination of energy sources such as on site renewables and the grid. With their pioneering energy storage tech, HUBZ allows users to harvest energy at as little as 8p per KW. Putting this together with energy storage, alongside some clever tech, allows users to intelligently store energy to be then used at peak prices.
Saving time is a bonus but an even bigger winner is saving money!
Businesses can:
· Install rapid chargers in places the ordinarily couldn’t due to limited supply
· Reduce reliance from the grid
· Use as part of a full Energy Management solution to become self-sufficient
· Predict when energy is most likely to be used and prepare for this
James Foster, CEO of ZPN Energy says, “Almost all chargers on the market installed by the likes of Shell and local authorities rely on continuous supply directly from the grid. We offer something really special to the market; the ability to add rapid and ultra-rapid charging in locations with restricted grid supply. This means no inconvenient customer reliance on the continuous supply from the grid.'
He added, 'We have the same tech available for homes, fleets and businesses. The only reason there will be blackouts this winter, if they occur, is because the UK’s energy suppliers are buying the wrong tech and supply is not managed properly'.
