Suburban Propane, ABB, and Kempower recently demonstrated a portable EV charging system designed to show how renewable propane can help support charging in locations where permanent grid infrastructure may not be available or practical.
The demonstration used renewable propane-fueled generators to charge battery energy storage systems, which then powered DC fast chargers. ABB equipment managed power delivery to Kempower DC Movable chargers, creating a mobile charging setup that could be deployed in temporary, off-grid, or high-demand environments.
According to Suburban Propane, this demonstration shows how propane and renewable propane can provide reliable, lower-carbon power for EV charging in locations where grid access is limited, temporary, or cost-prohibitive. By using renewable propane to fuel battery energy storage systems, the project created a charging approach intended to support on-demand deployment while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional diesel generation.
