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

Duiven, the Netherlands — April 8, 2026. A new high-performance EV charging station at Nieuwe Tijd in Duiven officially opened today, bringing 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 core of the site is Zerova's DV-series 60 kW standalone DC fast charger, delivering CCS2 charging with OCPP-enabled backend integration, a 7-inch display, and RFID user authorization.

Grid resilience is provided by 10 BUIMA Energy Storage Tiles, each with 4 kWh capacity, for a total of 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 — allowing the site to deliver consistent fast charging without overloading local infrastructure.

Zemovi operates the site as Charge Point Operator, bringing day-to-day charge point operations, driver experience, and network management to 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 by decoupling the charger's output from the grid's instantaneous supply. The storage layer absorbs energy when the grid is quiet and discharges when a vehicle plugs in, meaning 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. — Harvey Chuang, President, Buima Group

Looking ahead

The Duiven site is a proof of concept for what comes next. Buima Energy, Zemovi, and Zerova are looking forward to expanding this model — deploying 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 turns clean-mobility infrastructure from a promise into a practical, scalable reality.
