Most high-powered electric vehicle DC fast chargers require three-phase 480 V input, restricting many possible sites from installing new hardware without costly and time-intensive infrastructure upgrade projects. One solution is to install battery-integrated DC fast chargers that require lower input than conventional fast chargers. Energy storage solutions can enable fast charging without extensive electrical upgrades as well as help control ongoing energy costs by reducing peak power demands on
