ADS‑TEC Energy PLC announced the installation of a battery‑buffered ultra‑fast charging unit at a Penske Automotive Group dealership in Brighton, Australia, on 9 April 2026. The deployment, completed in partnership with Elanga, delivers a ChargePost system that can provide up to 281 kW of charging power immediately after commissioning, with the potential to reach 300 kW once the battery buffer is fully charged.
The ChargePost’s battery buffer allows the charger to draw power from a local storage bank rather than the grid, enabling high‑power charging without costly grid upgrades. This capability is especially valuable for dealership sites that need rapid vehicle hand‑over and demonstration services but face limited grid capacity. The system also includes digital advertising displays and energy‑management functions that can generate additional revenue streams for the host site.
By adding this installation, ADS‑TEC Energy expands its presence in the Australian market, a region where grid constraints are common and demand for fast charging is growing. The partnership with Penske provides a high‑profile reference that can accelerate future sales in the region and supports the company’s strategy of building recurring revenue through energy trading, peak‑shaving services, and advertising on the ChargePost platform.
Elanga, the company’s Australian operations partner, will handle local service, distribution, and ongoing support, ensuring that the deployment aligns with local regulatory and operational requirements. The collaboration demonstrates ADS‑TEC Energy’s commitment to a structured market‑entry approach that leverages local expertise to reduce time‑to‑market and operational risk.
Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS‑TEC Energy, said the partnership “represents a perfect fit for our technology, as Penske’s high‑performance vehicles and demanding customers require the kind of fast‑charging solution that can operate within limited grid capacity.” The installation signals the company’s confidence in scaling its battery‑buffered technology and its ability to generate recurring revenue in new markets.
