Free DC charging

HyperSmiler said:
The Livewire charging stations that are being installed at Chevron stations are really quite innovative in that they use battery storage so that lengthy electrical infrastructure upgrades can be sometimes avoided.

Maybe these battery powered systems aren't the best option:

Grid connection eliminates this type of problem.

Good find Bob!
I really like the presentation by an actual firefighter as he did a wonderful job explaining BESS pertinent to the firefighting trade (Tom Moloughney style).
I also admire the fact he did not condemn them, and admitted they play a critical role in the EV charging infrastructure.
Better disconnecting means accessible at a safe distance and within site (just like electrical motor/solar disconnecting rules), isolation of the equipment particularly from any fuel supply equipment/venting etc and additionally signage indicating the presence of Lithium Ion battery's within the equipment would be a great start;)
