“Our universal EOS Charge Stations include multiple EV charging sockets and robust data analytics tools that provide stores what they need to succeed,” says EOS Linx’s CEO. “We also are helping reduce range anxiety and expand charging options for residents and visitors alike acrossThe partnership will result in charging stations at up to 100 LSBAC member stores.
“EOS Charge Stations provide many benefits in one unique solution. We’re talking about marketing and media combined with EV charging stations that will drive incremental traffic and revenue for stores, and that’s a winning combination for our members,” saysAnother big advantage for a business is that getting the station put in costs them nothing up front. The installation of solar power, storage, the charging station itself, and the advertising screen is all covered by EOS.
This all means that solar power will be used for charging, but it won’t be an off-grid setup with only around 2 kilowatts of solar. So, the customer will get a mix of solar power and grid power depending on when they charge. It could be mostly solar if the station is sparsely used, or it could be mostly grid power if it’s heavily used. If not used at all, we can probably assume that EOS sells its power back to the grid once any batteries are full.
What we don’t know is whether the company will stick with Level 2 charging or if they’ll go for DC fast charging. What they do on that is going to make a big difference in how useful their charging services are for EV drivers, and by extension how useful their advertising services will be.
