Jumbo The Hague: 400 kW fast charger with battery storage

Jumbo Mieremet launches fast-charging stations with battery storage in The Hague

Jumbo Mieremet in The Hague is the first supermarket in the region to offer a 400 kW DC fast-charging station. Thanks to smart battery storage, two cars can charge simultaneously without placing an additional strain on the power grid.

The system consists of a powerful fast charger combined with two BBOLT batteries with a total capacity of 430 kWh. During the day, the batteries supply the necessary power, while they recharge at times when the store uses less electricity or when energy prices are low.

“For me, customer convenience was the top priority. The fact that this also represents a sustainable and forward-looking investment makes it even more valuable.”

Key specifications of the installation

Battery capacity

Two BBOLT batteries that store and supply energy for stable, high-power charging.

430 kWh

CHARGING CAPACITY

Charge two cars at the same time (200 kW per car) or charge one car at full power.

400 kW DC

SMART CONTROL

Optimizes charging sessions, prevents grid spikes, and charges the battery when energy prices are low.

EMS software

Here's how the process went

INSIGHT INTO CONSUMPTION

We began by analyzing the supermarket’s energy consumption profile and the available grid connection. It turned out that fast charging during the day was not possible without smart buffering.

Clear data as a foundation

SIMULATION

Using simulations, we determined the optimal combination of fast charger and battery capacity, including usage scenarios and power distribution.

INSTALLATION & INTEGRATION

The 400 kW DC fast charger and two batteries (430 kWh total) have been installed and integrated into the existing system.

High-power charging without overloading the grid

REAL-TIME CONTROL & MONITORING

The battery charges during periods of lower demand and supplies power during peak periods. This ensures that fast charging remains possible, even when grid capacity is limited.

Full control and a future-proof charging solution

We resolved these issues for the customer

Jumbo Mieremet wanted to offer fast charging, but ran into limited grid capacity. A direct connection to the grid for 400 kW charging was not feasible during the day.

By combining a powerful DC fast charger with battery storage, we have created a solution that enables high-power charging, prevents grid congestion, and ensures future-proofing.

Customer review

“For me, customer convenience was the top priority. The fact that we can now offer this without any complicated processes makes it a valuable investment for the future.”

A STRATEGIC COMPONENT OF SUSTAINABLE RETAIL

With this installation, Jumbo Mieremet is positioning itself as an innovative and forward-thinking retailer. The charging station enhances convenience for customers and reinforces the location’s commitment to sustainability.

NETWORK LIMITATIONS OVERCOME

During the day, there isn’t enough capacity on the grid to charge two cars simultaneously at 200 kW. The battery then supplies the necessary power, while recharging during off-peak hours.

FAST CHARGING AS A SERVICE AND A REVENUE MODEL

The system is modular and scalable. In addition to providing convenience for customers, it generates an additional revenue stream while encouraging store visits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your question here? Please contact us.

How does battery storage work in combination with solar panels or wind energy?

Our battery stores excess energy locally whenever more energy is generated than is consumed. This energy is then automatically used during periods of higher demand or when market prices are favorable.

Can I make money through energy trading?

Yes. Stored energy can be sold intelligently through the imbalance and EPEX markets. Our software (BBox) automatically manages this process, allowing you to benefit from price fluctuations without having to lift a finger.

How much maintenance does the system require?

Virtually none. Our systems are monitored and controlled remotely. Any necessary maintenance is flagged in advance. This means you get maximum efficiency with minimal effort.
