Autel Energy, a global provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging and smart energy solutions, has announced the completion of its first integrated EV charging and battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the United States. This landmark installation, officially permitted and approved by Duke Energy, represents a significant achievement for Autel Energy North America and highlights its capacity to deliver comprehensive turnkey solutions that merge high-power EV charging with sophisticated energy storage technology.
Key Highlights
- Autel Energy has completed its first U.S.-based integrated EV charging and battery energy storage system (BESS) project.
- The site, located at the company’s manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina, has been fully approved by Duke Energy.
- The company is now offering turnkey design and deployment services for these integrated systems across the nation.
- The new EV + BESS solutions are available for quoting, with installations possible before the end of 2025.
North Carolina Project Details
The inaugural project is situated at Autel’s manufacturing plant in Greensboro, North Carolina. The system features a 250 kWh battery cabinet connected to a 125 kW power conversion system (PCS). This installation powers one Autel MaxiCharger DC Fast charger and two DC Compact units. The integration of battery storage provides a dependable high-power charging experience while simultaneously reducing costs associated with peak energy demand and improving the site’s overall energy resilience.
Building on the success of this project, Autel Energy is poised to complete several more EV + BESS installations before the end of the year, demonstrating the scalability and effectiveness of its integrated model.
“These first utility-approved EV + BESS projects prove what’s possible when great engineering meets real-world customer needs,” said Michelle Luo, Chief Revenue Officer for Autel Energy North America. “Starting today, our integrated EV + BESS solutions are available for quoting, with installation timelines that can deliver energized sites before the end of the year.”
Turnkey Design Services
Autel Energy is expanding its offerings to provide end-to-end project services nationwide. These turnkey solutions guide clients from initial site modeling and engineering through the final commissioning and ongoing monitoring of the system.
The company’s standardized designs allow for scalable systems, ranging from 250 kWh to multi-MWh deployments. These solutions are tailored to meet the needs of diverse clients, including commercial sites, fleets, municipalities, utilities, and projects funded by the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program. All BESS components are UL 9540A certified, ensuring they meet rigorous safety standards. The projects are designed to be utility-compliant and align with interconnection requirements across North America.
Key operational benefits include peak-shaving, load-shifting, and demand-charge management, which help lower energy costs and contribute to grid stability. Furthermore, the systems feature a future-ready, modular architecture that allows for easy expansion with additional chargers, storage capacity, or renewable energy integration.
