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.

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;)
 
I really like this model
Free access to L3 chargers utilizing solar 200 kWh battery system from Winnipeg to Thompson Manitoba.

Wow, that is impressive. I grew up in Manitoba, and we used to go up north fishing. Pretty remote country up there...
