Mobile charging and energy storage

What is a mobile EV charging unit?

Mobile charging solutions capable of providing EV charging in locations where charge station infrastructure is not available or insufficient. ZEVx Mobile Charging Units are available in mobile EV vehicles as well as trailer systems in a range of energy storage options. Each provide DC Fast Charge inputs and outputs.

What is a mobile charging station?

A mobile charging station is a new type of electric vehicle charging equipment, with one or several charging outlets, which can offer EV charging services at EV users’ convenient time and location . MCSs are dispatched in response to two kinds of requests, (i) from overloaded FCSs or (ii) from EVs .

Why is mobile charging station important?

Moreover, contact-less charging technologies, including battery-swapping and wireless charging lanes, are seldom employed due to their immature technology, relatively large construction costs, and difficulty in standardization . Mobile charging station is thus proposed to solve these problems.

Can mobile charging piles solve EV charging problems in urban areas?

A solution to the charging problem for EVs in urban areas, especially in crowded cities with large populations, shall be attempted. To this end, mobile charging piles might be an answer. Mobile charging is a brand new EV charging system that consists of a smartphone APP, a data center, and a pile center.

How many services can mobile charging provide?

Another issue is that how many services can mobile charging provide. A mobile charging pile can charge 2.5 EVs on stage I and 3 EVs on stage II everyday. Assuming that a user charges his/her EV once every week, 8 stations in Xiamen can provide services to 2660 users on stage I and 9240 users on stage II.

Can EV batteries be monetized as mobile energy storage?

The EV batteries, an increasingly prominent type of energy resource, are largely underutilized. We propose a new business model that monetizes underutilized EV batteries as mobile energy storage to significantly reduce the demand charge portion of many commercial and industrial users’ electricity bills.
