Fast Charging at Scale

Fast charging – without waiting for the grid.

You’ve already priced the grid upgrade. Six figures. Twelve months. Maybe eighteen. Monbat Energy’s BESS + EMS lets you deploy DC fast charging inside your existing grid connection starting this quarter, not next year.

OPPORTUNITIES

The chargers are ready. The grid isn’t.

Fast charging is a commercial decision. Grid capacity is a physical one and the two rarely line up. Here’s what’s standing between your chargers and the tarmac.

Load Management

Fast charging doesn’t need a permanently high grid connection – because peak demand only occurs for short periods. Battery-buffered systems intelligently cover these peaks. Delivery ultra-fast charging exactly when it’s needed while keeping grid demand low.

CAPEX saving and fast deployment

A grid connection upgrade with transformer cost and grid connection fees (BKZ) can drive project cost into mid-six-figure range and require long project lead times.

Scalability and Flexibility

Battery-buffered charging gives you the freedom to grow at your own pace. Start with the capacity you need today and expand seamlessly as demand increases.

Integrate renewable energy

Turn solar energy into a reliable source for charging. A battery system stores surplus energy and makes it available when vehicles need it – day or night. By increasing on-site consumption of renewable energy , you reduce reliance on the grid, lower energy costs and significantly cut emissions.

HOW IT WORKS

How BESS + EMS turn a slow grid connection into fast charging

The grid doesn’t need to deliver fast-charging power. The battery does. The EMS orchestrates the handoff invisibly to the driver, fully within your connection limit.

SLOW IN FROM THE GRID

Charge the battery inside your connection limit

The battery charges continuously at a low, flat rate – the rate your existing connection already delivers, without upgrades or peak tariffs.

FAST OUT TO CHARGERS

Deliver high power on demand

When a vehicle plugs in, the EMS releases stored energy at full charger power. A 400 kW connection can run a 1.2 MW charging session.

DYNAMIC LOAD MGMT

Multiple vehicles, one connection

The EMS monitors every charger and every vehicle. Power is distributed, prioritised and adjusted in real time – no tripped breakers.

OCPP COMPATIBLE

Works with the chargers you already use

AC and DC Charging Apps integrate OCPP-based stations from most manufacturers. No lock-in existing backends and billing keep running.

PV-AWARE

Cheaper per kWh when paired with solar

If you have rooftop PV, the EMS routes solar into charging sessions first lowering cost per kWh and improving ROI on both assets.

Limited Grid Power

The charging site requires 600 kW to support current and future demands. The existing grid connection is limited. Expanding the grid connection would require significant infrastructure updates with estimated cost of €267k.

PRODUCTS

The hardware and the intelligence, from one supplier.

Fast charging without a grid upgrade isn’t a clever product. It’s a tightly engineered stack – battery, power conversion, charger integration, and intelligence – that has to work as one. We build all four.

The questions your fleet manager, your CFO, and your DSO are going to ask

Answered directly. If we haven’t covered what you need, a 30-minute call with an engineer will.

How many fast chargers can one BESS support?

It depends on charger power, vehicle dwell time and your charging pattern, not just on battery size. As a rule of thumb, an EOM 260 supports roughly 2-3 simultaneous 150 kW sessions under realistic duty cycles; smaller sites are covered by the EOM 115 or  EOM 215, and higher-throughput sites by paralleling multiple EOM 260 cabinets. We size the system against your actual charging profile, not against nameplate charger power.

What happens when the battery is depleted?

The EMS ramps charging power down gracefully rather than cutting off mid-session. It prioritises vehicles by state of charge, dwell time, or operator rules, and coordinates with incoming grid power so chargers keep delivering at the rate the grid can sustain until the battery recovers. For 24/7 operations, the system is sized so this doesn’t happen under normal load.

Is this compatible with my existing chargers?

Yes, in almost all cases. The EMS integrates OCPP-based AC and DC chargers from most major manufacturers. If you’ve already installed chargers, we retrofit the BESS and EMS behind them. If you’re specifying a new site, we help you pick compatible hardware and avoid proprietary lock-in.

Can it integrate with an existing or planned PV system?

Yes. The EOM range integrates PV DC/DC modules inside the same housing, connecting panels directly to the battery DC bus – higher round-trip efficiency than routing through a separate AC inverter. The Self-Consumption Optimization and Grid-Supportive Charging apps route PV energy into charging sessions when it’s available, lowering your cost per kWh delivered.

How does the payback compare to a grid upgrade?

A grid upgrade is pure capex with zero operational return – you pay once and still pay the utility every month. A BESS + EMS is a revenue-generating asset: it avoids the upgrade capex, cuts peak-demand charges, lets chargers earn session revenue, and stacks peak shaving, PV self-consumption, and flexibility trading on top. For most charging sites we evaluate, payback falls in the 4-7 year range  before a grid upgrade would even have been energised.

What if my fleet or site grows?

The range is modular. You start with the cabinet that fits today EOM 115, or EOM 260 and parallel additional cabinets as throughput grows. The EMS handles the coordination transparently and the DC Charging App scales with the hardware. You add capacity – you don’t rebuild.

Will this work for a public charge point operator (CPO) business?

Yes, and it’s often the architecture that makes a CPO site viable where the grid won’t cooperate, removing the single biggest capex and timeline risk in new-site development. For operators running multiple sites, the EMS provides centralised monitoring and control, plus compatibility with OCPP-based billing and roaming platforms.
