This energy is then used to deliver a fast charge to customer vehicles during periods of high demand.

The second-life battery system integrates two BMW i3 battery packs into a single housing.

According to Evgo, each battery pack has a capacity of 22 kWh which combines with a 30 kW inverter to offer a 30 kW/44 kWh energy storage system.

Princeton Power Systems provided the inverter hardware and integrated it with the battery packs. Technology firm Kisensum delivered the software controls for the battery system and managed software integration.
