The use of AmpiTOWER demonstrates the benefits of easily deployable energy storage systems to charge electric vehicles.
As rules and regulations around deployable power sources such as diesel generators continue to change, the need for easily deployable energy storage systems is drastically increasing. Our AmpiTOWER energy storage systems were demonstrated at EV Experience in collaboration with Laadpaal Outlet / Home Energy Storage, showcasing how easily they are deployed and the many possibilities they offer to charge any application from electric vehicles to event stands.
AmpiTOWERs come in a wide range of configurations and a capacity of up to 144kWh per system. The use of AmpiTOWERs offers event organizers a silent and reliable energy solution that can be used to power a wide range of applications. The systems are easily moved around with a forklift and can be switched on and connected in a matter of minutes.

EV Experience, Zandvoort Circuit, The Netherlands
EV Experience is an annual event, hosted at Zandvoort Circuit shortly after the F1 race tooks place. Ev Experience converts Zandvoort Circuit into the largest EV (Electric Vehicle) Experience in the Netherlands! During this event visitors can experience a test drive in the latest EVs and drive them on the track. The pit boxes are converted into pop-up stores from various brands and suppliers.
The challenge
As the shift towards renewable energy is rapidly gaining momentum across various industries, the event industry is facing challenges to adapt to this change. One significant challenge is the need for large amounts of energy within a short period of time, which calls for solutions that are both timely and reliable, and also cost-effective. Traditionally, the event industry has relied on diesel generators, which are known to emit high levels of CO2. However, with sustainability becoming a crucial concern in the industry and regulations around reducing CO2 emissions becoming more stringent, this is no longer a sustainable option for the environment. Many European cities now have specific guidelines and requirements that events must abide by in order to reduce their environmental impact.
Reasons to charge EVs from energy storage systems
AmpiTOWER energy storage systems can be used to charge electric vehicles (EVs) in a way that is both efficient and cost-effective. By using an energy storage system to charge EVs, businesses and events can take advantage of the following benefits:
- Cost savings: By charging energy storage systems during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower, and using the power to charge EVs when the rates are higher. This way businesses can save money on their energy bills. Additionally, an energy storage system can be used to store excess energy generated by renewable sources, such as solar or wind power, which can further reduce energy costs.
- Increased reliability: An energy storage system can act as a buffer against power outages and other grid disruptions, ensuring that the EVs and the events have reliable energy, even during times of high demand or when the grid is down.
- Easily deployable: Energy storage systems can be installed quickly and easily.
Overall, using an energy storage system to charge EVs can provide a range of benefits for businesses, including cost savings, increased reliability, and environmental benefits.
