ADS-TEC Energy, a Germany based provider of battery powered EV charging stations, will invest $8 million in an assembly, sales, warehousing and service facility in the Auburn, Alabama, creating 180 jobs, according to a wsfa.com report.
The company expects the facility to be fully operational by 2024.
ADS-TEC Energy's ChargePost battery-based charging system enables EV charging on existing power connections without the need to extend existing grids, according to a company press release. The system integrates the battery, power electronics, cooling system and charger in a package requiring less than two square meters (21.5 square feet) of ground space.
Each ChargePost is equipped with two charging points for EV charging, giving drivers more than 100 kilometers (60 miles) of range in just a few minutes (up to 300 kW DC power with one charging point and 150 kW with two charging points in use at the same time) and up to two optional 75-inch digital displays on its exterior surfaces.
ChargePost is already available in Europe.
