Electrify America opens its biggest battery-backed charging station

Electrify America opened a 20-stall DC fast charging station in downtown Santa Barbara with 350 kW chargers and a 1.9-megawatt battery storage system, its largest public deployment. The battery stores energy during low demand and releases it during peak times to reduce grid strain. CCS connectors are installed now, with NACS swaps planned for later this summer.
