4 FAQs about Price Comparison of Fast Charging Devices for Field Research Using Foldable Containers

How profitable is a stationary storage with a fast charging station?

We compare different battery technologies and distinguish two use cases: fast charging in cities and along highways. Our results indicate that the profitability of a stationary storage installed together with a fast charging station depends on various parameters.

What are the use cases of fast charging stations?

In our analysis, we distinguish two different use cases of fast charging stations. The first use case is fast charging stations in cities that might be used as an alternative to overnight home charging by vehicle drivers without private charging options.

Can stationary storage be used at Highway fast charging stations?

Nevertheless, the use of a stationary storage at large highway fast charging stations is not always profitable and thus might need additional incentives or serve other purposes such as solar PV integration (onsite) or grid stabilization.

Can stationary batteries increase the profitability of fast charging stations?

Although the profitability of stationary storages and the demand for fast charging have gained broad attention in literature, the specific question of how and under what circumstances stationary batteries can increase the profitability of fast charging stations has not yet been addressed for all potential applications.
