The EV charging station will feature a 175KW solar array, DC fast charging, a 40KWh CODA Core UDP energy storage system, and GELI’s intelligent Energy Operating System (EOS) software.
According to the company, DC charging will charge an EV battery in around 30-60 minutes, improves the usability of EVs by extending their effective range and enabling road trips; while the Coda’s battery energy storage system serves as a buffer between the charger and the grid, lowering the charging station’s peak power demand.
GELI’s EOS software will allow the charging station to make operational decisions based on the price of power and energy.
Coda Energy COO Ed Solar said that as is the case in California, electric vehicle adoption tends to correlate with renewable energy deployment.
"Energy storage complements these technologies by reducing operational costs, improving functionality, enabling new revenue streams and mitigating grid stress," added Solar.
