Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a standard component of scalable EV charging infrastructure.

In this video, Yuchao Dong (Team Lead PM – Energy Management Solutions at E.ON Drive Infrastructure) explains how E.ON integrates batteries with chargers and the grid through advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS).

The key insight: BESS is not just about storage—it enables high-power EV charging deployment even in grid-constrained areas across Europe.

What you’ll learn:

• How EMS orchestrates batteries, chargers, and grid interaction

• Why BESS enables deployment in congested grid environments

• How battery storage supports cost optimization through energy price arbitrage

• Why flexibility from BESS creates competitive advantage for CPOs

• How E.ON is scaling BESS-enabled charging (starting in the Netherlands and expanding across Europe)

As grid connection delays increase and electricity price volatility rises, especially under EU frameworks like AFIR and national constraints, combining grid supply with battery storage is becoming essential for future-proof EV infrastructure.

Yuchao highlights a key shift: batteries will become a standard asset in CPO portfolios—enabling resilience, flexibility, and faster deployment.

FLEXECHARGE supports this transition with solutions like HARMON-E, orchestrating energy flows between grid, chargers, and battery systems to unlock efficiency and compliance.
