That requires energy availability, flexibility, and control, not just hardware deployment.With tightening grid conditions across Europe and regulatory pressure from frameworks like EU AFIR, this battery-first approach enables faster deployment, reduced risk, and better operational performance.What You’ll Learn in This Highlight:Why EV charging demand is growing faster than grid capacityWhy Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) should come firstHow logistics operators are becoming commercial CPOsWhat deployment strategy works best in grid-constrained regions like the NetherlandsWhy It MattersCPOs who prioritize batteries can accelerate site deployment, avoid grid delays, and ensure reliable charging—a critical advantage in competitive and regulated markets like Benelux and DACH.👉 Watch the full episode for more EV charging strategies from INTERFACEhttps://www.flexecharge.com/resources/the-charge-point-podcast In this highlight from Episode 47 of The Charge Point Podcast, recorded at INTERFACE, Peter (Floading) shares a practical strategy for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) navigating grid constraints—especially in markets like the Netherlands.His key...
