ZOOZ Power’s flywheel-based kinetic booster power management solution for ultra-fast multi-port EV charging is now live at four sites in Germany, with a fifth reportedly coming soon.
The ZOOZTER-100 is a kinetic power booster system that enables smooth continuous ultra-fast electric vehicle – EV – charging without expensive grid upgrades. It stores power during idle times converts it to kinetic energy and then flashes the converted energy back to the grid circumventing immediate grid upgrade needs enabling ultra-fast charging when required.
The company reports that the ZOOZTER-100 products have been successfully operational at two sites in Herrenberg, operated by Charge Point Operator Mer for over a year. Two new installations in Reiskirchen and Weiterstadt, operated by CPO Parkstrom recently went live as well. Based on the success of the four existing sites, an order for a fifth ZOOZTER-100 was received by ZOOZ.
The company reports significant growth in Germany due to the popularity of its ZOOZTER-100s at four sites, with a fifth one confirmed to open soon. Two EV charging sites at Herrenberg run by CPO Mer have each been operating successfully with a ZOOZTER-100 for over a year. This week installations at Reiskirchen and Weiterstadt both operated by CPO Parkstrom also went live. The company’s fifth ZOOZTER-100 will soon be live further expanding their footprint in the German market.
The recently opened Reiskirchen and Weiterstadt sites are strategically located along the A5 Autobahn near Frankfurt:
+ Each site features two ultra-fast chargers with 150-kW capacity supplemented by power from one ZOOZTER-100 unit.
+ The Reiskirchen installation positioned near major highways has doubled available power to 200 kW with the addition of one unit.
+ In Weiterstadt located south of Frankfurt Airport within an industrial area site’s capacity increased by 50% thanks to this technology.
