Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a strategic enabler for scaling high-power EV charging in Europe.

In this short customer highlight, discover how E.ON Drive integrates co-located BESS with the FLEXECHARGE solution to accelerate HPC deployment despite grid congestion and limited connection capacity.

As EV adoption increases across Germany and other European markets, grid constraints and long DSO approval timelines often delay charging infrastructure expansion. BESS changes this dynamic by:

• Increasing available charging power without waiting for grid reinforcement
• Reducing peak demand and connection costs
• Stabilizing site performance under grid constraints
• Unlocking additional flexibility and energy optimization opportunities

Combined with intelligent load and energy management from FLEXECHARGE, BESS transforms high-power charging hubs into flexible energy assets rather than passive grid loads.

This architecture allows CPOs like E.ON Drive to scale faster while maintaining grid stability and operational reliability across Europe.
