ADS-TEC Energy Advocates for Flexibility in Grid Solutions at Volta-Xchange
Event summary
- ADS-TEC Energy highlighted the need for battery storage to bridge variable generation, grid capacity, and demand at Volta-Xchange in Stuttgart.
- The company has deployed over 2,500 battery-buffered charging points globally, with more ChargePosts set to launch at supermarket locations.
- Thomas Speidel, CEO, emphasized that regulatory frameworks should value flexibility over sole focus on grid expansion.
- ChargePosts at Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen railway station enable ultra-fast charging without complex grid upgrades.
The big picture
