ADS-TEC Energy, a global provider of battery-based energy storage and fast-charging systems, announced that the Long-Lewis Auto Group has deployed its battery-buffered, ultra-fast charging platform ChargeBox at multiple leading Ford dealerships in Alabama.
Available for public use at dealership locations, the solution enables electric vehicle (EV) drivers in Alabama to charge their EVs in just minutes at previously underserved locations. Dealerships include Long-Lewis Ford of Hoover, Long-Lewis Ford of the River Region, and Long-Lewis Ford of the Shoals.
The ADS-TEC Energy ChargeBox platform’s battery-buffered technology enables widespread, ultra-fast charging (up to 320 kW) on existing power-limited grids. Unlike conventional dc chargers, it did not require extensive construction or upgrades to high-powered electrical infrastructure, making it an ideal solution for the Long-Lewis Auto Group to quickly deploy ultra-fast EV chargers.
Through its partnership with Ford, Long-Lewis is committed to furthering the Ford Power Promise, making EV ownership easier by supporting customers in the areas that matter most to them. The Long-Lewis Auto Group is nationally recognized for its consumer and employee satisfaction and is dedicated to giving back to its community and those less fortunate.
Alabama has made tremendous strides to electrify the state. According to the Alabama Department of Commerce, more than $2 billion in EV-related investments have been announced for Alabama, supporting a growing EV supply chain.
