The collaboration between Sprocket Power and Kempower in the U.S. aims to meet the growing need for EV charging infrastructure.

Kempower announced a strategic collaboration with Sprocket Power based in the U.S. Sprocket Power offers commercial entities a seamless solution, combining EV chargers with sustainable power generation and storage to manage utility costs effectively. One of the first collaboration projects is delivering charging stations to Sunrise Toyota car dealerships in the New York area.  

Sprocket Power microgrids are at the forefront of integrating solar power generation and battery storage to meet the increasing demand for EV charging. By addressing rising utility demand charges, Sprocket Power leverages federal, state and utility programs in the U.S.  to reduce upgrade costs by up to 60% and achieve significant utility bill savings of up to 90%. 

“Kempower manufactures world-class electric vehicle chargers. Their chargers are reliable in all types of weather conditions and provide an unparalleled user experience,” said Dennis Quinn, president of Sprocket Power. “Sprocket Power engineers managed microgrids that synchronize solar power, battery storage and cloud-based facility management software. By combining skill sets, Sprocket Power and Kempower are helping businesses provide EV charging that is scalable, eco-friendly and cost-effective.” 

One of the first collaboration projects of Kempower and Sprocket Power is delivering EV charging to Sunrise Toyota care dealerships in the New York area. The initiative responds to higher-than-expected growth in EV sales in specific markets. Kempower unites will be incorporated into Sprocket Power Microgrids at Sunrise Toyota and the new Sunrise Toyota North.  

“We have experienced rising utility costs for years,” said Jimmy Berg, dealer principal at Sunrise Toyota. “We are also increasingly sensitive to power outages that shut down our operations. This investment in our facility and business creates a strong investment case by controlling these costs. The resiliency benefits are an important bonus.” 

The Sprocket Power microgrid utilizes advanced technology to create an integrated and managed system that generates and stores solar energy. This stored energy serves as the primary source for EV charging while optimizing energy use, grid pull and grid export based on grid conditions. This innovative system supports New York State’s ambitious climate goals and enhances energy resilience, ensuring businesses can maintain operations even during power outages. 

“Our collaboration with Sprocket Power represents an exciting opportunity to bring Kempower’s advance EV charging solutions to businesses looking for reliable, scalable and sustainable energy systems.
