In this Podcast #22 highlight, Hallgeir Horne from Circle K explains how battery storage enables EV charging price optimization by shifting energy usage and reducing reliance on expensive peak electricity.

As electricity prices fluctuate across Europe and the Nordics, operators face increasing pressure to manage both grid constraints and energy costs. Battery systems play a key role in balancing demand and improving profitability.

This clip explores:

• How battery storage enables energy price optimisation

• Why shifting consumption away from peak hours reduces costs

• How Circle K manages price volatility across EV charging sites

• The connection between peak shaving, smart charging, and cost efficiency

For CPOs, fuel retailers, and energy providers, this is a real-world example of how to operate EV charging infrastructure efficiently in EU-regulated and grid-constrained markets (AFIR, national grid rules).
