The Netherlands / Belgium - Heliox of Best, The Netherlands launched its new SprintCharge system at Busworld. Designed to make better use of off-peak costs and reduced peak period demand, SprintCharge incorporates a battery storage facility that can be charged from the grid using a lower powered connection which accumulates in the storage system to allow high voltage (450kW) opportunity rapid charging for electric trucks and buses.
Heliox says limited available grid capacity and high peak demand charges can make opportunity charging a challenge. SprintCharge enables the high power “sprints” of power required.
