The Battery-Buffered Grid Interconnect Pitch
Recommended Spoken Script
"To eliminate grid strain during local peak hours, our 8-dispenser fast charging plaza incorporates a 2MWh onsite battery energy storage system. The station charges from the grid during off-peak night hours and deploys stored energy during peak daytime charging surges, limiting maximum grid pull to a stable 800kW draw."
