Polarium, a leading energy storage developer, and Kempower, a pioneering company specializing in rapid DC charging solutions, are proud to announce a partnership to boost EV fast charging solutions with cutting-edge energy storage support. This collaboration aims to address the pressing need for enhanced EV charging capabilities, particularly for larger vehicles, constrained by current grid limitations across Europe.
With the rapid rise in the number of electric vehicles, the demand for efficient charging solutions has never been more urgent. However, existing grid constraints pose significant challenges to meet this demand. This partnership aims to bridge this gap by integrating Polarium Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with Kempower’s charging solutions, providing reliable and sustainable power distribution while minimizing peak loads and optimizing energy consumption.
Through Polarium's cutting-edge energy storage technology, Kempower's chargers will be empowered to accommodate multiple electric vehicles seamlessly without requiring costly grid upgrades. This ensures faster charging times of more and larger vehicles, such as trucks and public transportation, while maintaining equal power distribution across all units, preventing peak loads that result in higher demand charges.
“Partnering with Kempower aligns perfectly with Polarium's mission to unlock endless energy. By merging our expertise in BESS with Kempower's innovative charging infrastructure, we're positioned to overcome Europe's grid limitations. Through this collaboration, we're integrating cutting-edge energy storage solutions into EV charging infrastructure, ensuring Kempower's customers receives optimal charging experiences,” says Håkan Tezcanli, Key Account Manager at Polarium.
“No matter the route or distance, power supply is key when making DC fast charging a reality, especially for trucks. With Polarium's support, we can ensure that our charging infrastructure meets current and future energy demands, supporting the roll-out of EVs as constant connectivity is crucial for everything to run smoothly. In simple terms, without energy storage support, the grids are not strong enough to handle the high-power charging needs,” says Jussi Vanhanen, Chief Market Officer at Kempower.
This collaboration marks a significant step towards creating the world's most desired EV fast charging solutions, positioned to transform transportation across Europe.
Kempower and Polarium will be showcasing their latest innovations at KEY - The Energy Transition Expo, taking place from February 28th to March 1st, 2024, in Rimini, Italy.

Denverin julkiset koulut ja Winn-Marion ottavat käyttöön Kempowerin latausratkaisut kasvavalle sähköbussikalustolle Yhdysvalloissa19.8.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Yhdysvalloissa Coloradon osavaltiossa Denverin julkiset koulut ovat saaneet käyttöönsä uutta Kempowerin latausinfrastruktuuria piirin kasvavan sähköbussikaluston tarpeisiin Hilltopin bussiterminaaliin. Kempower toimi teollisuuden automaatio- ja sähköratkaisujen toimittaja Winn-Marionin johtamassa hankkeessa laitteistotoimittajana ja teknologiakumppanina. Koulupiiri hankki äskettäin 25 uutta Blue Bird Vision -sähköbussia kasvattaen sähköbussikalustonsa 28:aan, mikä on piirin mukaan Coloradon suurin. Uusi latausinfrastruktuuri on valmiina uuden lukuvuoden alkaessa 24. elokuuta. ”Koulubussikannan sähköistämiseen tarvitaan latausinfrastruktuuria, joka toimii päivittäisten kuljetusaikataulujen vaatimusten mukaisesti”, sanoo Kempowerin Pohjois-Amerikan toimitusjohtaja Monil Malhotra. ”Kempowerin teknologia pitää sähköiset koulubussit ladattuina, käyttövalmiina ja liikenteessä, jotta Denverin julkiset koulut voivat tarjota oppilaille päivittäin luotettavia ja vähäpäästöisiä kuljetuksia.” Buss
The first Kempower Mega Satellite Flex in Sweden will be delivered to Dagab’s depot in collaboration with Erinion18.8.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
The first Swedish delivery of the new Kempower Mega Satellite Flex charging solution will take place at Dagab’s depot in Bålsta in August, with commissioning scheduled for the autumn. Dagab is responsible for the Axfood Group’s supply chain and manages the entire logistics chain from warehousing to transport. The solution is being supplied, commissioned and monitored by Erinion, Kempower’s end-to-end partner for charging infrastructure for heavy-duty fleets and part of the Scania Group. Dagab currently has nearly 40 electric trucks in operation, 13 of which are based at the logistics centre in Bålsta. To meet the growing charging demand, a Kempower Mega Satellite Flex is now being installed, capable of charging both today’s CCS-equipped trucks and next-generation MCS vehicles from the same charging unit. This provides a flexible and future-proof solution as the vehicle fleet continues to be electrified. The platform builds on Kempower’s distributed charging architecture and is being in

Den första svenska leveransen av den nya laddlösningen Kempower Mega Satellite Flex sker till Dagabs depå i Bålsta i augusti och driftsätts under hösten. Dagab ansvarar för Axfoodkoncernens varuförsörjning och driver hela logistikkedjan, från lagerverksamhet till transporter. Lösningen levereras, driftsätts och monitoreras av Erinion, Kempowers end-to-end-partner för laddinfrastruktur till tunga flottor och en del av Scania-koncernen. Dagab har idag närmare 40 ellastbilar i drift, varav 13 utgår från logistikcentret i Bålsta. För att möta det växande laddbehovet installeras nu en Kempower Mega Satellite Flex, som kan ladda både dagens CCS-utrustade lastbilar och nästa generations MCS-fordon från samma laddenhet. Detta ger en flexibel och framtidssäker lösning när fordonsflottan fortsätter att elektrifieras. Plattformen bygger vidare på Kempowers distribuerade laddarkitektur och integreras i Dagabs befintliga Kempower laddanläggning i Bålsta. "För oss handlar det om att investera i infr
Kempower ja Erinion toimittavat Ruotsin ensimmäisen Mega Satellite Flexin Dagabin varikolle18.8.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
Kempowerin uuden Kempower Mega Satellite Flex -latausratkaisun ensimmäinen toimitus Ruotsiin saapuu Dagabin varikolle Bålstaan elokuussa ja laitteisto otetaan käyttöön syksyn aikana. Dagab vastaa Axfood-konsernin tavarantoimitusten koko logistiikkaketjusta varastotoiminnoista kuljetuksiin. Latausratkaisun toimituksesta ja käyttöönotosta vastaa Erinion, joka toimii Kempowerin partnerina raskaan ajoneuvokaluston latausinfrastruktuurihankkeissa. Erinion on osa Scania-konsernia. Dagabilla on tällä hetkellä käytössä lähes 40 sähkökuorma-autoa, joista 13 liikennöi Bålstan logistiikkakeskuksesta käsin. Lataustarpeen kasvaessa asennetaan uusi Kempower Mega Satellite Flex -latausyksikkö, jolla voidaan samasta latausyksiköstä ladata nykyiset CCS-standardia hyödyntävät kuorma-autot samoin kuin seuraavan sukupolven MCS-standardia hyödyntävät ajoneuvot. Ratkaisu on joustava ja vastaa ajoneuvokaluston tuleviin vaatimuksiin. Latausratkaisu perustuu Kempowerin hajautettuun latausarkkitehtuuriin, ja se
