Buima, Zemovi & Zerova Open Battery-Buffered Fast-Charging EV Station in Duiven

Revolutionizing EV Charging: The Future of Sustainable Energy Storage

Duiven, the Netherlands — April 8, 2026. A new high-performance EV charging station at Nieuwe Tijd in Duiven officially opened today. This project brings together three partners from across the e-mobility ecosystem: Buima Energy (Energy Storage Tiles), Zemovi (Charge Point Operator), and Zerova (EV charger manufacturer).

A Three-Way Collaboration

At the heart of this site is Zerova's DV-series 60 kW standalone DC fast charger. It delivers CCS2 charging with OCPP-enabled backend integration. The charger features a 7-inch display and RFID user authorization for easy access.

Grid resilience is enhanced by 10 BUIMA Energy Storage Tiles, each with a 4 kWh capacity. This totals 40 kWh of integrated local storage. This buffer layer smooths peak demand, stabilizes power delivery during high-usage periods, and reduces stress on the local distribution grid. As a result, the site can deliver consistent fast charging without overloading local infrastructure.

Zemovi operates the site as the Charge Point Operator. They manage day-to-day charge point operations, driver experience, and network management for the project.

Why Battery-Buffered Charging Matters

As EV adoption accelerates across Europe, one of the biggest obstacles isn't the vehicles — it's the grid. Many locations that would benefit from fast chargers lack the grid capacity to support them directly.

Battery-buffered architectures solve this problem. They decouple the charger's output from the grid's instantaneous supply. The storage layer absorbs energy when the grid is quiet and discharges it when a vehicle plugs in. This means sites can offer ultra-fast charging even on modest grid connections.

This opening marks an important step in delivering smarter and more sustainable charging solutions.

Looking Ahead

The Duiven site serves as a proof of concept for what comes next. Buima Energy, Zemovi, and Zerova are eager to expand this model. They plan to deploy more battery-buffered EV chargers paired with green energy sources across Europe and beyond.

The combination of modular storage, fast charging hardware, and on-the-ground operations shows how partnership across the value chain can turn clean-mobility infrastructure from a promise into a practical, scalable reality.

The Importance of Sustainable Energy Solutions

Sustainable energy solutions are crucial for the future of transportation. As we transition to electric vehicles, we must also rethink how we power them. The integration of energy storage systems like Buima Energy's tiles is a game-changer. They not only provide immediate power but also enhance the overall efficiency of the grid.

Imagine a world where EV charging stations are seamlessly integrated into our daily lives. This vision is becoming a reality. By utilizing energy storage, we can ensure that charging stations are reliable and efficient. This is essential for encouraging more people to switch to electric vehicles.

The Role of Partnerships in Advancing EV Infrastructure

Collaboration is key to advancing EV infrastructure. The partnership between Buima Energy, Zemovi, and Zerova exemplifies how different players can come together to create innovative solutions. Each partner brings unique expertise to the table, resulting in a more robust and effective charging solution.

This collaboration is not just about technology. It's about creating a network of support for EV users. By working together, these companies are paving the way for a more sustainable future.

Challenges Ahead

Despite the progress, challenges remain. The demand for EV charging infrastructure is growing rapidly. However, the existing grid infrastructure in many areas is not equipped to handle this demand.

To overcome these challenges, we need to invest in smarter grid technologies. Energy storage solutions will play a vital role in this transformation. They can help balance supply and demand, ensuring that charging stations can operate efficiently.

Conclusion

The new EV charging station in Duiven is more than just a place to recharge. It represents a shift towards a sustainable energy future. By embracing innovative solutions like battery-buffered charging, we can create a more resilient and efficient energy system.

As we look to the future, the collaboration between Buima Energy, Zemovi, and Zerova will be crucial. Together, they are setting the stage for a new era of EV charging. This is just the beginning. The journey towards a sustainable energy future is well underway.

Let’s embrace this change and work together to make it happen!
