GridLink can deliver up to 300 kilowatts (kW) of power, allowing EVs to charge in approximately 15 minutes. By integrating a high-capacity battery system with bidirectional technology, GridLink enhances energy management by balancing energy supply and demand, contributing to reduced costs and increased efficiency.

In-House-Developed Battery Technology

GridLink features an in-house-developed energy storage system that utilizes lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. XCharge North America designed the LFP batteries to prioritize safety, reliability and longevity. The system offers a base capacity of 215 kilowatt-hours, which can be expanded to 430 kilowatt-hours, optimizing performance for various applications.

“GridLink represents a significant advancement in EV charging technology,” said Alex Urist, Vice President of XCharge North America. “With its robust charging capabilities, comprehensive safety features and grid-supporting functions, GridLink is poised to play an important role in the evolution of EV charging stations and their interaction with the energy grid.”

Installation and Integration Flexibility

GridLink is designed to be installed with minimal electrical upgrades. It is compatible with both 208V and 480V electrical systems, providing flexibility for a variety of installation scenarios. This adaptability helps to reduce costs and simplifies the deployment process for operators.

Safety Considerations

The unit is equipped with a range of safety features, including fire suppression systems, smoke detection and thermal event alarms, ensuring secure operation.

Grid Support and Renewable Integration

GridLink contributes to grid stability by offering bidirectional energy flow, which allows it to send energy back to the grid during peak demand. This feature also facilitates the integration of renewable energy sources, supporting the development of a more resilient and sustainable energy infrastructure as EV adoption increases.

“GridLink marks a significant step forward for EV charging in North America,” said Aatish Patel, Co-founder and President of XCharge North America. “By delivering 300 kW of power and introducing grid-forming capabilities from the battery discharge, we’re not just improving charging speeds — we’re transforming how EV service equipment interacts with the grid. This technology will make fast charging more accessible and help stabilize our energy infrastructure as EV adoption grows. It addresses the unique challenges of the North American market, paving the way for a more electric future.”
