AVIGUS · Battery storage for megawatt truck charging · Europe

We buy, sell and install battery storage for Europe's megawatt truck chargers.

Wind, solar and cheap grid power go into the battery. At a megawatt charger, an electric truck can then charge in about 20 minutes. A small grid connection is enough.

The problem: the grid

Megawatt chargers need megawatts. The grid cannot deliver them in time.

One megawatt charging plug can draw up to 3.75 MW. At full power, three trucks charging at once can draw more than ten megawatts.

In one European country alone, about 15,500 requests to take more power from the grid are in the queue, nearly 10,000 MW together, and a new high-voltage line takes eight to twelve years to build.

EU law asks for a truck charging hub every 60 km on Europe's main roads by 2030. A hub that waits for the grid earns nothing.

The opportunity: the price

Power in Europe is often free at noon and expensive at night. A battery turns that gap into cheap charging.

In 2025 the wholesale price went below zero for more than 520 hours in one European country, a record, driven by solar.

In 2026 the same market swung from almost −500 to more than +1,000 euro per megawatt-hour.

The EU installed 27 GWh of batteries in 2025 and needs about 750 GWh by 2030. A charging hub is the best place for them: cheap power in, megawatt charging out.

The solution: the hubPLANNED

One grid connection, one battery, megawatt chargers. Trucks can charge in about 20 minutes.

A one-megawatt grid connection then serves up to three megawatts of charging, and the hub can open years before the big connection comes.

ChargeThe battery takes wind, solar and grid power when it is cheap or below zero.
StoreA few megawatt-hours wait in containers next to the chargers.
DeliverWhen the trucks arrive, battery and grid feed the megawatt chargers together: about 20 minutes per truck at full power.

What AVIGUS does

One partner in Europe for the whole chain: we buy, we sell, we install.

We buy

Batteries, inverters and megawatt chargers for AVIGUS's own charging hubs.

We sell

Your systems to charging-hub owners, truck fleets and solar and wind parks in Europe. One contact, one contract.

We install

Permits, grid connection, installation, start-up, service and spare parts, in Europe.

What goes into a hub

  • Battery containers (LFP), 2–9 MWh
  • Inverters (PCS), 1–3 MW
  • Megawatt chargers from 1 MW (the plug allows up to 3.75 MW)
  • Solar panels and wind turbines on or near the site
  • Software that buys power at the right hour
  • Ready for Europe: CE, grid code EN 50549, cybersecurity

The equipment comes from Chinese makers of batteries, inverters and chargers. AVIGUS is choosing the first ones now.

Where AVIGUS stands today (13 October 2026)

Storage installed by AVIGUS so far: none. The first system goes into the first hub.

Who it is for

For Chinese makers who want a buyer and installer in Europe, and for European sites that need megawatts.

Makers of storage, inverters and chargers

You build the system. AVIGUS buys it, sells it in Europe and installs it, so it runs on a European site and the customer has one contact for service.

  • A first order for an AVIGUS hub
  • Sales and distribution in Europe
  • Installation and service on site

Sites in Europe

Truck depots, logistics sites, ports, charging hubs, and solar and wind parks that often have to switch off.

  • Megawatt charging without waiting years for the grid
  • Cheaper power for your trucks
  • Your own solar and wind power used, not thrown away

The start is at the two biggest ports of Europe: the first lane, the first hub, the first battery. Then the 11 countries eTruckTCO.eu already covers.

Next step

Three steps from a first talk to a first order.

  1. 1Makers: send us your datasheet and your EU price per kWh of capacity, delivered to Belgium.
  2. 2We send you the hub spec: grid capacity, storage in MWh, power in MW, site and timing.
  3. 3A first order for an AVIGUS hub, or a distribution agreement for Europe.

A site in Europe? Tell us your grid connection, your trucks and how much power you use. We size the battery and the chargers.

Our two live tools

Two live websites hold the facts behind the hubs we plan: the trucks, the chargers and the cost.

Cheaper charging from a battery shows up in what every electric truck costs. These two sites do the sums, free to use.

eTruckTCO.eu covers diesel prices, road tolls and charging prices in 11 countries and 13 toll zones. That is where later hubs can go.

eTrucksAndChargers.com puts the heavy electric trucks and chargers from IAA Transportation 2026 side by side, with sources. Makers' chargers can be listed there today.
