Flexpole Plus: fast-charging with integrated battery storage - a flexible solution for expanding charging infrastructure

E-mobility is growing - and so is the demand for powerful charging infrastructure. But traditional expansion is often costly, time-consuming and technically complex. Find out how Flexpole Plus unlocks new charging potential.

As e-mobility accelerates, the demand for reliable, high-performance, and rapidly deployable charging infrastructure continues to grow. At the same time, many businesses, municipalities, and infrastructure operators face challenges: expanding conventional fast-charging infrastructure often requires high investments, extensive permitting processes, and lengthy construction phases - especially when medium-voltage grid connections are needed. 

Flexpole Plus offers a practical solution to exactly these challenges. As a fast-charging station with an integrated battery storage system, it combines high charging performance with easy grid integration and quick commissioning - ideal for locations where traditional fast-charging solutions have been difficult to implement. 

Flexpole Plus: Technology and Functionality 

Flexpole Plus is based on a DC fast-charging system with charging power of up to 150 kW. At its core is an integrated battery storage unit, which enables connection to the low-voltage grid - eliminating the need for a medium-voltage connection or complex grid expansion. The battery acts as a buffer to balance power peaks during charging. This makes fast charging possible in areas where the grid alone would not support direct high-power charging. It significantly reduces site requirements and enables faster, more cost-effective installations. 

Key features: 

  1. Universal payment options: includes a credit card terminal with contactless reader and PIN pad 

  2. Smart load management: enhanced ModBus protocol for optimized peak shaving and better grid integration 

  3. Customizable interface: languages, logos, colors and media can be tailored to your brand 

  4. Efficient temperature control: redesigned cooling system reduces energy use and extends hardware lifespan 

These features make Flexpole Plus more than just hardware - it's a flexible platform for operation, communication, and energy efficiency. 

Diverse applications: gas stations, retail, hospitality 

Flexpole Plus is ideal for: 

  • Gas stations wanting to stay competitive and future-ready. 

  • Retail locations looking to boost customer visits and loyalty with visible, fast charging. 

  • Hospitality: hotels, resorts, restaurants offering guests a premium EV charging experience. 

  • Commercial properties: Elli’s Flexpole Plus increases your property's value, enhances its appeal to tenants, and improves utilization. Quickly operational and visible in charging apps. 

  • Logistics sites: Whether it's a distribution hub, warehouse, or delivery center –Flexpole enables fast charging even at locations with limited grid capacity.  

  • Urban or rural areas with limited grid infrastructure. 

  • Supermarket or leisure parking areas requiring minimal infrastructure upgrades. 

  • Businesses with EV fleets needing scalable quick-charging solutions. 

  • Municipalities aiming to promote public charging without lengthy construction timelines. 

  • Temporary use at events or construction sites. 

Its compact design and modular setup allow for installation in previously unsuitable locations. 

Worry-free operation: from installation to service 

Flexpole Plus is easy to install - no medium-voltage connection required. That means no heavy construction or additional transformer units. It connects directly to the low-voltage grid, typically where a building’s electricity connection is already in place. 

The station runs via standard backend systems with remote monitoring, easy integration, and central control for updates and load management. 

Maintenance, inspection, scheduling and reporting are all covered. Choose from various service packages depending on your needs. 

Flexibility for a dynamic e-mobility future 

E-mobility develops at different speeds in different regions. Some areas already see high EV volumes; others are just starting out. Flexpole Plus meets this need for flexibility. 

It can be deployed as a starting solution, expanded with additional units, or integrated into larger charging networks. It also works as a temporary or transitional solution during infrastructure upgrades or network bottlenecks. 

Conclusion: a key building block for charging infrastructure expansion 

Flexpole Plus is a smart, practical addition to the EV charging landscape. It opens up new possibilities at technically or economically challenging sites - supporting Europe-wide infrastructure rollout. 

Combined with other Elli charging solutions, it forms part of a flexible portfolio designed to meet the varied needs of commercial customers and public infrastructure.
