Company News
U.S. Energy has expanded its Volt Vault product line with a new unit powered by ElectricFish's 400squared energy storage and ultra-fast charging system. The configuration integrates battery-backed charging technology into U.S. Energy's redeployable infrastructure platform, enabling high-power EV charging without extensive grid upgrades. The system offers dual-port charging at up to 400 kW whilst operating from a reduced grid connection. It stores energy during off-peak periods and releases it at high power when vehicles charge, allowing ultra-fast charging in locations with constrained electrical capacity. The unit supports peak shaving, demand charge management, and grid-responsive operations through an AI-powered optimisation platform. It targets commercial fuelling locations, municipal installations, fleet depots, and logistics hubs.
U.S. Venture will soon relocate its headquarters to downtown Appleton in the 222 Building on West College Avenue.
