Two EV charging sites at Herrenberg, run by Charge Point Operator (CPO) Mer have each been operating successfully with a ZoozTER-100 for over a year. This week installations at Reiskirchen and Weiterstadt both operated by CPO Parkstrom, also went live. Zooz's fifth ZoozTER-100 will soon be live, further expanding the company's footprint in the German market.
The ZoozTER-100 is a kinetic power booster system that enables smooth, continuous ultra-fast electric vehicle (EV) charging without expensive grid upgrades. It stores power at idle times, converts it to kinetic energy and then flashes the converted energy back to the grid. This circumvents the need for immediate grid upgrades and enables ultra-fast charging when required.
The recently opened Reiskirchen and Weiterstadt sites are strategically located along the A5 Autobahn near Frankfurt. Each site features two ultra-fast chargers with a 150-kW capacity, supplemented by power from one ZoozTER-100 unit.
The Reiskirchen installation, positioned near the intersection of major highways, has doubled its available power to 200 kW with the ZoozTER-100. In Weiterstadt, located in a bustling industrial area south of Frankfurt Airport, the site's power capacity has increased by 50 percent thanks to the ZoozTER-100 technology.
“The growing adoption of our ZoozTER-100 power boosters across Germany is a testament to its effectiveness and the increasing demand for innovative flywheel-based EV charging solutions” said Avi Cohen, Executive Chairman of Zooz Power. “With four operational sites and a fifth on the way, we're witnessing substantial momentum in Europe's largest EV market. Our solution is not only enhancing the charging experience for drivers but also creating new opportunities for Charge Point Operators to expand their networks cost-effectively.”
