The role of battery storage in the renewable energy transition
In response to the threat of a changing climate, governments and organizations alike are looking to incorporate more renewable energy as the Paris Agreement’s 2025 deadline quickly approaches. Turning to sources like wind and solar is necessary to limit global warming...
Why EV battery recycling is good for the environment and your bottom line
In the first quarter of 2024, electric car sales grew by about 25% compared with the first quarter of 2023, similar to the year-on-year growth seen in the same period in 2022. By the end of 2024, the market share of electric cars could reach up to 45% in China, 25% in...
The power of adding a BESS to your EV charging site
Having the ability to store grid or renewable energy in a battery energy storage system (BESS) greatly increases site flexibility, which offers a number of benefits. Here’s a look at some of the ways having stored electricity in batteries can improve your site...
EV Batteries Have a Brief Maximum Charging Rate
Understanding how energy storage supports EV charging sites requires a mixture of knowledge in both upstream grid functionality and downstream EV battery demands. Sparkion’s technology simultaneously matches energy storage support with the needs of the exact site at a...
Energy Storage is Vital to Support NEVI Sites
In 2021, the $5B NEVI Formula (National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Formula Program) was introduced by the Biden Administration. The program supports the creation of a national EV charging corridor. In short, it will fund 80% of site infrastructure costs for...
