The award highlights Electrify America’s progress in improving access to high-speed EV charging while addressing grid limitations that can restrict deployment. The company has installed more than 170 BESS units—representing over 65,000 kilowatt-hours of storage capacity—marking the largest rollout of its kind in North America.
According to Rob Barrosa, president and CEO of Electrify America, the technology plays a crucial role in expanding reliable charging access. “Our battery energy storage systems act like large backup batteries for our stations,” he said. “They allow us to store energy during off-peak times and deliver it when drivers need it most, helping us bring Hyper-Fast charging to more communities even where the grid is limited.”
