Case studies
A berth with no spare grid capacity, a vessel that is wired as a battery system rather than a vehicle, and three other storage systems that had already been tried. Four weeks from the first conversation, the unit was putting over 160kW into the boat, reached 230kW the next day, and moved more than half a megawatt-hour in a single session.
"Our biggest challenge isn't the vehicles, it's grid capacity at our sites." A fleet that moves blood and organs between hospitals cannot pause while its charging catches up. Two CQ450s went to Filton, Bristol and Edgbaston, Birmingham on the same day, opening a national rollout with a CQ160 to follow at Colindale, North London.
