ADS-TEC Energy Secures Strategic Partnership with HyperFast for Battery-Based Ultra-Fast Charging Deployment in Belgium
ADS-TEC Energy, a global leader in battery-based energy storage and ultra-fast EV charging solutions, has announced a significant new partnership with HyperFast, a prominent player in sustainable energy and charging infrastructure. As part of this collaboration, HyperFast has selected ADS-TEC Energy’s battery-buffered ChargePost solution to support the rollout of fast-charging stations across Belgium.
This landmark order marks a major milestone in the ongoing development of next-generation electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. It also highlights the increasing demand for high-performance, grid-independent charging systems capable of meeting the growing needs of e-mobility in areas where conventional charging solutions face limitations.
HyperFast: Accelerating the Shift to Sustainable Mobility
HyperFast, part of the Energy Solutions Group—the largest independent producer of renewable energy in the Benelux region—is an experienced and forward-thinking provider of EV charging infrastructure. The company is committed to advancing the adoption of sustainable transportation through robust, efficient, and scalable charging networks.
By integrating ADS-TEC Energy’s ChargePost systems, HyperFast is taking a major step forward in enhancing its capabilities to deliver ultra-fast EV charging at scale. The decision to deploy more than a dozen ChargePost units across Belgium will significantly contribute to the expansion of the country’s EV charging landscape and offer more flexible charging options to drivers.
HyperFast’s operations are seamlessly integrated with the MobilityPlus charging network, which grants EV users access to a wide range of charging stations across Europe. This includes full compatibility with roaming partners, ensuring broader accessibility and user convenience. In this partnership, MobilityPlus will handle the commissioning and installation of the ChargePost units at designated locations, while HyperFast will manage the day-to-day operations and site logistics.
This collaboration between HyperFast, MobilityPlus, and ADS-TEC Energy is expected to deliver a flexible, reliable, and future-ready charging infrastructure that will support Belgium’s growing electric vehicle market and its sustainability goals.
Meeting the Challenges of Limited Grid Capacity with Battery-Buffered Charging
One of the major barriers to the widespread deployment of fast-charging infrastructure in Belgium—and in many parts of the world—is the limited capacity of local power grids. Conventional fast chargers typically require substantial grid upgrades and long lead times, making installation costly and time-consuming, especially in urban or remote areas.
ADS-TEC Energy’s battery-buffered ChargePost provides a breakthrough solution to this problem. By integrating high-capacity lithium-ion battery storage into the charger itself, ChargePost enables ultra-fast charging at up to 300 kW, even in locations with weak or constrained grid connections. This eliminates the need for extensive grid reinforcement and allows operators like HyperFast to rapidly deploy fast-charging stations in underserved areas.
According to ADS-TEC Energy CEO and founder Thomas Speidel, “E-mobility is growing rapidly, and with it the demand for a high-performance charging infrastructure. However, conventional solutions are reaching their limits in many places—whether due to insufficient grid capacity or long implementation timelines. Our battery-based charging solutions enable ultra-fast charging regardless of local grid conditions and create new flexibility for operators.”
ChargePost: More Than Just a Charging Solution
Beyond its ability to provide high-speed EV charging in grid-limited areas, ChargePost offers a number of additional benefits that enhance its appeal to charging infrastructure providers and site operators.
One standout feature is the system’s built-in capability for energy trading. During periods of low demand or when EVs are not actively charging, the stored energy within the battery system can be fed back into the grid or sold in energy markets, generating additional revenue streams for operators.
ChargePost units also feature optional 75-inch digital display screens that can be used for advertising, customer information, or branding. These large, high-resolution displays provide an additional source of income through digital ad sales and also enhance the user experience at the charging station.
Combined, these features make ChargePost a highly versatile and financially attractive option for businesses, municipalities, and infrastructure providers looking to expand their EV charging offerings without the burdens of traditional grid constraints.
Proven Technology and Deep Expertise
ADS-TEC Energy brings more than a decade of expertise in lithium-ion battery systems to this partnership. The company designs and manufactures advanced energy storage and fast-charging technologies at its facilities in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It also develops its own proprietary energy management systems to ensure optimal performance, safety, and system integration.
The company’s innovations have received widespread recognition. In 2022, ADS-TEC Energy was nominated for the prestigious German Future Prize by the Federal President of Germany and was selected for the “Circle of Excellence” for its pioneering work in battery-based fast charging.
ADS-TEC Energy’s ChargePost technology is characterized by a compact design, making it ideal for urban locations where space is limited. Its modular, scalable architecture supports rapid deployment and simple maintenance, further enhancing its value proposition for partners like HyperFast.
Additionally, ADS-TEC Energy’s vertically integrated development and production process ensures consistently high quality and system reliability. By keeping core functions—including software, battery system design, and assembly—in-house, the company maintains control over every aspect of performance and customer experience.
Supporting Europe’s Energy Transition
The partnership between HyperFast and ADS-TEC Energy is emblematic of a broader trend sweeping across Europe: the acceleration of the energy transition through intelligent, sustainable technology solutions.
As more countries move to phase out internal combustion engine vehicles and promote renewable energy adoption, the need for fast, accessible, and grid-resilient EV charging infrastructure becomes increasingly urgent. Partnerships like this are crucial to closing infrastructure gaps and enabling widespread EV adoption.
By working closely with regional energy leaders like HyperFast, ADS-TEC Energy is playing a central role in creating the infrastructure backbone for a cleaner, electrified future. The deployment of ChargePost units in Belgium is expected to be only the beginning, with potential for further expansion across the Benelux and beyond.
A Vision for the Future of EV Charging
As electric vehicle adoption continues to surge, infrastructure innovation will be key to sustaining momentum. Solutions like ADS-TEC Energy’s ChargePost not only address the technical and logistical challenges of charging deployment but also provide flexible business models that enhance the value of every charging location.
Through this strategic partnership, HyperFast and ADS-TEC Energy are laying the groundwork for a high-performance charging network that prioritizes speed, sustainability, and scalability.
In a landscape where grid constraints, space limitations, and cost barriers remain persistent challenges, battery-buffered fast charging may very well represent the future of EV infrastructure—and ADS-TEC Energy is leading the charge.
