Demand charges are one of the most overlooked costs in EV fleet charging. A single 15-minute power spike can add hundreds of dollars to your monthly bill, even if it only happens once. This infographic breaks down how OptiGrid's battery-integrated technology in Reservoir chargers avoids that spike entirely by slowly drawing power from the grid, storing it in a battery, and then delivering fast charging straight from that battery when a vehicle plugs in. The result is up to 70% lower operating costs compared to traditional DC fast charging.
See the full breakdown, including a side-by-side look at grid draw over a typical day.
