GridLink by XCharge North America Powers a Smarter Charging Network

As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow, GridLink by XCharge North America expands fast charging access by addressing power infrastructure limitations, enabling deployment across diverse locations, and supporting the continued growth of electric mobility.

GridLink is a battery-integrated DC fast-charging platform that combines 215 kWh of liquid-cooled energy storage, bidirectional power flow, and high-power DC charging within a compact system compatible with 208V and 480V electrical service. The platform stores energy during periods of stable supply and lower energy costs, then delivers power during peak demand, enabling reliable charging in areas with limited grid capacity. This approach reduces dependence on extensive grid upgrades while supporting consistent charging performance.

The platform transforms charging stations into distributed energy resources capable of supporting local electrical networks, reducing peak demand, and participating in demand-response programs. Integrated solar capability strengthens site resilience, allowing charging locations to operate with greater flexibility while supporting a reliable energy ecosystem. GridLink extends high-power charging opportunities to rural, underserved, and disaster-prone communities, helping electric vehicles become a practical transportation option across a wider range of regions.

GridLink has progressed from concept to large-scale deployment, achieving UL 1973 and UL 9540A certifications while operating across North America. The platform delivers measurable energy throughput, supports grid reliability, and lowers operational costs for charging site hosts. Through its infrastructure-driven design, GridLink advances the evolution of electric vehicle charging by strengthening energy systems and expanding access. This achievement has been recognized with the Category Winner of the Year distinction in the Technology Innovation – Infrastructure Technology category, celebrating GridLink's contribution to the future of sustainable transportation.
