PRIME Batteries Technology, Eldrive Romania and ALLSPARK Energy present a versatile solution for energy storage and charging electric cars. The “Energy Cube” is named POWER CUBE 150 and can power electric cars with energy captured from the grid or from photovoltaic panels. It is ideal for areas where the energy grid needs upgrading.
Similar to the principle of harvesting and using rainwater, the POWER CUBE 150 can capture and store energy from the grid, with low and constant consumption, to protect the electrical systems in the area. When an electric car is charged, it can benefit from high charging power – up to 150 kW – without affecting the energy grid.
This makes the POWER CUBE 150 ideal for remote hotels or hostels, but also in gas stations, which often do not have enough installed power to ensure normal gas station operation, plus charging stations for electric cars.
“PRIME Batteries Technology manufactures batteries for applications ranging from storage for the national energy system to traction batteries for self-driving cars and is the largest manufacturer of Li-Ion batteries in South East Europe. With the launch of the POWER CUBE 150 we are also pioneering in this direction of integrated solutions dedicated to energy storage from multiple sources. By collaborating with Eldrive Romania we bring, store and deliver energy where it is needed, facilitating the transition to electric mobility, but also to the notion of dispatchable consumer. The product is the first in a series that we will develop together with ALLSPARK Energy in the field of small and large capacity, widely applicable storage, which are essential to ensure the transition to a green and, above all, circular economy”, said Vicențiu Ciobanu, Co-Founder and CEO of PRIME Batteries Technology.
“I’m glad that Eldrive Romania is part of this project because we can show how versatile are the charging solutions that our company offers to customers. Our charging services for electric cars are located in the parking lots of shopping centers, office buildings, residential neighborhoods and fuel stations, and now we can also go to more remote areas or where the national energy grid is underdeveloped,” said Camelia Popescu, Country Manager, Eldrive in Romania.
Eldrive has made it a priority to increase the density of charging points for electric cars throughout Romania and to ensure a reliable charging service.
“ALLSPARK Energy has been involved in this project from the very beginning, together with PRIME Batteries Technology and Eldrive Romania, because we want energy to be available literally everywhere – wherever an electric car driver needs to charge,” said Dan Dumitru, CEO of ALLSPARK Energy.
The energy that the POWER CUBE 150 can store and deliver to an electric car comes either from the grid, photovoltaic panels or a mix between the two sources.
The POWER CUBE 150 “Energy Cube” is an integrated solution that incorporates the experience and efforts of three companies: PRIME Batteries Technology, Eldrive Romania and ALLSPARK Energy.
