XCharge, Energy Plus to Build Battery-Backed Fast-Charging Depot in Brooklyn

The battery-integrated GridLink setup targets lower peak-grid strain with potential cost savings for urban drivers.

Overview

  • The Williamsburg site is planned to host 44 GridLink units that pair DC fast chargers with dedicated on-site batteries across 88 parking spaces.
  • Total installed storage is quoted at 9.46 MWh, with up to 300 kW available per stall.
  • The hub is slated to open in the second quarter of 2026 under Energy Plus’ Eplug brand.
  • The companies say the system supports bidirectional power flow for local resiliency and describe the project as among the largest battery-backed depots in the United States.
  • Energy Plus plans to replicate the Eplug model in other U.S. cities and to offer dedicated fleet charging services, while pricing and operating details have not been disclosed.
