EverCharge and PassKey, subsidiaries of SK Group, a South Korean conglomerate, are partnering to develop a battery energy storage system to supplement EverCharge's electric vehicle charging stations, according to a press release.

EverCharge's American-made EV charging stations and patented load balancing software, SmartPower, enable large-scale EV charging by managing and controlling electric loads, analyzing the charging patterns of EVs and allocating available power based on the individual vehicle's need.

The battery energy storage system developed by Passkey and EverCharge will consolidate power during off-peak hours and deploy the energy via EV charging stations during periods of high demand.

By combining EV charging with battery storage to mitigate demand peaks, sites can benefit from lower operating costs and additional energy resiliency.
