    Abstract: The systems, methods, apparatus and computer products described herein offer a novel solution to the problem of providing high-power (i.e., 50 kW or greater) charging of electric vehicles. Such described approaches address the technical and economic challenges attendant with concurrent, high-power charging of multiple electric vehicles, including but not limited to, grid impact, demand charges and the need for grid upgrades. In one particular implementation, a swappable energy storage device is located at one or more electric vehicle charging stations, thus enabling the power and energy requirements for concurrent, high-power charging of multiple electric vehicles to be met without drawing electricity from the electric utility grid. More particularly, swappable energy storage may be charged at other sites with fewer grid constraints relative to the locations of electric vehicle charging stations. This mitigates grid impact and reduces the need for grid upgrades.
