The Future of EVs is Here: A Closer Look at Level 2 EV Chargers for Home Use

  As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise, the demand for EV charging infrastructure has never been higher. However, one of the biggest challenges facing the industry is the lack of sufficient energy at EV charging locations. To tackle this issue, EverCharge and PassKey, both subsidiaries of SK Group, have entered into a partnership to develop a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).   The BESS will supplement EverCharge's existing network of EV charging stations, ensuring that EV owners can access reliable and fast charging no matter where they are. This is a significant step forward for the industry, as it means that EV owners will no longer have to worry about running out of energy before reaching their destination.   Founded in 2013, FIVER is one of the leading companies in the EV charging infrastructure industry. The company has successfully developed its own total solution of EV Charging Infrastructure, providing a full range of AC/DC c...
