GP Joule Connect, a leading systems provider for new mobility, will be deploying 30 Ads-Tec ChargePost and 10 ChargeBox systems in 2023. Both companies aim to actively drive the expansion of charging infrastructure as well as the transformation of energy systems. They plan jointly to build numerous battery storage-based, ultra-fast charging stations in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
GP Joule Connect has a geographical focus on Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Working with Mobilize Power Solutions, a joint venture of GP Joule Connect and the Renault Group for the three countries, it is also heavily involved in infrastructure solutions for fleets and the automotive sector.
The battery-buffered approach provided by the Ads-Tec Energy ultra-fast charging systems will enable growth in both inner cities and rural areas, where expansion of the electrical network infrastructure is very expensive and complex, or in some cases even impossible.
"In Ads-Tec Energy, we have found a strong, innovative partner, with products such as ChargeBox and ChargePost that combine high-performance, reliable technology with optimal, long-term total cost of ownership (TCO),” said Manuel Reich, managing director of GP Joule Connect.
“We share similar values and visions, especially the desire to expand the charging infrastructure for climate-friendly mobility. I'm looking forward to working together, developing ideas together and realising the first projects."
The ultra-fast, battery buffered ChargeBox system can be used both outdoors and indoors with its two separate charging columns. Completely ground-level installation is possible, with minimal construction required, saving time and costs. The system charges continuously from the available distribution grid at any given time, storing and boosting charging power up to 320 kilowatts (kW) for ultra-fast and whisper-quiet operation.
ChargePost is Ads-Tec Energy's recently-introduced ultra-fast charging station, which integrates two charging columns, complete with power electronics, battery storage and air conditioning in an extremely powerful, compact and quiet all-in-one system.
