Koben Systems Inc. Announces EVOLVE EVSF the World's First Scalable EV Charging Battery Storage Solution for MURB, MUD and Workplace EV Charging

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, September 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Koben today announced EVOLVE EVSF^TM, an integrated system to reduce demand charges in large-scale Level II EV charging deployment.

EVOLVE EVSF^TM is the single most important development in EVSE infrastructure for MURB, MUD and Workplace buildings. Demand charges may not be a concern for 1 – 10 EV chargers; most complexes can accommodate the power. But what happens when a large complex requires 150+ Level II chargers? North American construction By-Laws and building codes are rapidly changing to keep up with consumer demand for EV infrastructure.

“Current systems which use load-sharing/splitting or load-balancing are simply not enough when planning for the future. EV car batteries are increasing in capacity which extends charge time,” says Vic Burconak, President & CEO of Koben Systems Inc.

“With 24 hour days, current systems cannot deliver the full charge EV drivers want. The Chevy Bolt, for example, has a 60 kWh battery; using load balancing over two connectors, the power delivered is 3kW. With a 100kWh battery such as Tesla, well… 33 hours to charge is not practical,” says Vic Burconak.

EVOLVE EVSF^TM uses store and forward technology to deliver the full rate of charge optimizing the charging time. By capturing energy from the grid during low peak rates, the EVOLVE EVSF^TM will store energy and forward during peak times. This technology significantly reduces demand charges.

EVOLVE EVSF^TM is grid-friendly and can be installed in areas with a constrained grid. Demand charge savings can range up to 80% or up to 100% if Solar is used.

“High installation and infrastructure costs are still a barrier and most buildings will not be able to support the type of power required in a few short years,” says Vic Burconak. Condo Boards and Committees are struggling with the reality of not enough electrical capacity and most reserve funds will not accommodate.

EVOLVE EVSF^TM has been designed with sustainability in mind, helping to prevent runaway costs and adapting as the market advances.
