Autel Energy, a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging and smart energy solutions, today announced the completion of its first integrated EV charging and battery energy storage system (BESS) project in the United States. Officially permitted and approved by Duke Energy, this installation marks a major milestone in Autel Energy North America's portfolio and demonstrates the company's ability to deliver turnkey solutions that combine high-power charging with advanced energy storage.

The Greensboro, North Carolina site — located at Autel's manufacturing facility — features a 250 kWh battery cabinet paired with a 125 kW power conversion system (PCS). The installation supports one Autel MaxiCharger DC Fast and two DC Compact units, providing reliable high-power charging while reducing peak demand costs and enhancing site resiliency.

Building on this achievement, Autel Energy expects to complete several additional EV + BESS projects before the end of the year, showcasing the scalability of its integrated design and deployment model.

Michelle Luo, Chief Revenue Officer, Autel Energy North America, said:
"I'm incredibly proud of our team for hitting yet another milestone this year. These first utility-approved EV + BESS projects prove what's possible when great engineering meets real-world customer needs. Starting today, our integrated EV + BESS solutions are available for quoting, with installation timelines that can deliver energized sites before the end of the year."
