Power Boost: Maximizing EV Charging Infrastructure with Energy Storage
Future-Proofing the EV Charging Ecosystem
19th March, 2025As electric vehicles (EVs) become increasingly mainstream, the demand for reliable and efficient charging infrastructure has never been greater. Companies in the EV charging sector face the challenge of providing high-powered, fast, and scalable charging solutions without overloading the existing grid. This is where the Power Boost function comes into play, offering a game-changing advantage for businesses looking to optimize their charging operations. Power Boost is a configuration developed by Polarium in our BESS and EMS systems, enabling more power (kW) to be available to EV chargers than the limit imposed by the grid connection size.
Enhancing EV Charging Without Expanding the Grid
One of the most significant constraints for expanding EV charging infrastructure is the limitation of grid capacity. Traditional grid upgrades can be costly, time-consuming, and, in some cases, not feasible. With Power Boost, businesses can install multiple charging stations or support high-power charging without requiring an increase in grid connection capacity. This means charging more vehicles, faster, without extensive grid investments.
Handling Short-Term Demand Spikes
EV charging demand fluctuates throughout the day, with peak periods often leading to grid congestion and higher demand charges. The Power Boost function mitigates this issue by intelligently distributing stored energy to handle short-term spikes. This not only prevents costly demand surges but also ensures stable and uninterrupted charging for fleets and individual customers alike.
Enabling High-Powered Charging for Larger Vehicles
As electric buses, trucks, and other commercial EVs enter the market, the need for high-powered charging solutions grows. However, grid constraints can make it difficult to support the required power levels. With an integrated energy storage system utilizing Power Boost, businesses can charge larger vehicles with existing grid capacity, ensuring operational efficiency and flexibility.
A Smarter Way to Expand EV Infrastructure
Rather than investing in costly grid reinforcements, businesses can leverage intelligent energy storage solutions to scale their operations efficiently. By integrating Power Boost into their infrastructure, companies benefit from:
- Optimized power distribution that prevents overloads and peak demand charges.
- Increased charging station deployment without requiring additional grid connections.
- Enhanced grid reliability, ensuring a seamless experience for EV users.
Future-Proofing the EV Charging Ecosystem
The transition to clean and sustainable mobility requires resilient and scalable solutions. Power Boost not only enhances grid reliability but also supports the deployment of renewable energy, enabling emission-free mobility. Whether managing a commercial fleet, municipality, or cooperative project, Power Boost ensures that charging operations remain efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective.
With Power Boost, businesses in the EV charging infrastructure sector can expand their services, reduce costs, and accelerate the transition to an electrified future—all without the limitations of traditional grid constraints. The future of EV charging is here, and Power Boost is leading the way.
