Abstract
Systems and methods for collocated gasoline pumps and electric vehicle charging stations for ultra-high speed charging may include a fuel station having fuel pumps, electric vehicle supply equipment, and a charge buffer. The charge buffer may receive electric current from an electricity supply grid and supply current to the electric vehicle supply equipment. The electric vehicle supply equipment may charge batteries at a rate greater than 4 C, 5.6 C, or 10 C. The electric vehicle supply equipment may be configured to charge batteries with silicon-dominant anodes including active material of 50% or more silicon. The charge buffer may be located in an underground former fuel tank. The electric vehicle supply equipment may supply greater than 120 kW. The charge buffer may include an array of capacitors and/or an array of batteries. The electric vehicle supply equipment may be configured to apply a voltage to batteries above their battery voltage limit when charging.
