Ebusco introduces new energy storage and charging solution

The Dutch electric bus and charging infrastructure manufacturer Ebusco is presenting a new bidirectional energy storage and charging solution called Ebusco Energy Flex at Busworld. It is said to be suitable for both passenger cars and buses.

The system in the spotlight at the Ebusco stand in Brussels is a mobile energy storage solution with a capacity of 184 kWh that can be connected directly to solar and wind power plants, among others. It enables “the efficient storage of surplus and self-generated energy and ensures that it is immediately available during demand peaks”, the Dutch company informs. According to them, the capacity of 184 kWh and the charging speed of 60 kW are sufficient to quickly charge several electric cars or to temporarily charge an electric bus.

The bidirectional system was developed by Ebusco “as the (renewable) energy sector continues its rapid expansion” and to address the challenges posed by a congested electricity grid, they say.

Peter Bijvelds, CEO of Ebusco, comments: “Our longstanding goal has consistently been to make electric driving as widely accessible as possible. With the real-road data of the Ebusco 3.0 exceeding our expectations, we could not be prouder. On the other hand, we also see the challenges entailed by the electric transition and are therefore thrilled to introduce Ebusco Energy FLEX, an innovative solution designed to meet the current demand for efficient energy use in the market.”
