Station builders and automakers are looking at ways to bypass costly construction of DC fast chargers.VW launches fast-charging hub that uses batteries from ID.3 and ID.4 pre-production vehicles for energy storage.
Audi also uses internal storage so its charging hubs can function without dedicated new grid connections. One way to bypass the costly and time-consuming installation work is by making fast chargers more or less portable and ready to be installed just about anywhere. They still require a connection to the grid, but not a new one, and no complex underground work. What they do require is energy storage of their own, permitting them to slowly gather energy from an existing grid connection, and then deliver it to EVs at much faster speeds.
