EV Storage Benefits
Energy is no longer just a utility cost — it’s a controllable asset.
Our EV-based storage systems give your business the ability to manage, protect and monetise energy.
When you’ve already paid for all your infrastructure on site, the last thing you want to do is pull it back out and make system changes. especially if its in warranty.
The DR+VE EV systems comes with everything you need. By connecting to the grid side of your system, there is no requirement for replacement inverters or re-wiring of the existing system.
We connected to the grid and using our own built in inverter systems, monitor the import and export on the site.
Exporting power? We’ll charge the batteries.
Importing power? We’ll discharge. Simple.
Cheap overnight power? We can set the system to ‘top up’ the batteries on cheaper overnight power ready to use when you need it.
This maximises the versatility of our system. All we require is the space for the system.
The Benefits
Scalable & Modular
What it does:
Multiple units can be installed in parallel.
Why it matters:
- Start with 50kWh
- Expand to 146kWh, 219kWh+
- Future-proof energy strategy
- Matches business growth
Energy infrastructure that grows with your site.s.
Reduce Energy Costs Immediately
What it does:
Stores low-cost electricity and deploys it during peak tariff periods.
Why it matters to commercial sites:
- Avoids expensive peak-rate electricity
- Reduces exposure to volatile wholesale pricing
- Improves operating margins
- Predictable energy budgeting
For energy-intensive sites, this can represent five-figure annual savings.
Peak Demand & Capacity Charge Reduction
What it does:
Supplies site load during high-demand periods.
Why it matters:
- Reduces Maximum Import Capacity (MIC) pressure
- Avoids DNO upgrade costs
- Lowers capacity and demand charges
- Prevents costly supply reinforcement
This can eliminate the need for £20k–£100k+ grid upgrades.
Revenue Through Grid Services
What it does:
Allows participation in flexibility and balancing services.
Why it matters:
- Static Frequency Response (sFFR)
- Demand Flexibility Services
- Winter grid events
- Future flexibility markets
Your energy infrastructure becomes an income-generating asset.
Sustainable Second-Life Technology
What it does:
Repurposes proven EV battery systems.
Why it matters:
- Lower embodied carbon than new battery manufacture
- Supports ESG reporting
- Extends asset lifecycle
- Demonstrates environmental leadership
Increasingly important for commercial tenders and corporate reporting.
Connect to many standard single and three phase inverters
Using readily available inverters ensures lower costs and they all have the necessary G98/99 and G100 compliance to safely connect to the grid
