Shore Hotel in Santa Monica, Calif., and Green Charge Networks have unveiled an intelligent energy storage system coupled with electric vehicle (EV) charging.
Every time an EV is plugged in to a charging station, the electricity demand for a building spikes – leaving businesses with high demand charges, according to Green Charge Networks, which expects the system to decrease charges by 50%.
Green Charge Networks says Shore Hotel is the first U.S. hotel to install an energy storage system with fast DC EV charging.
