That may help, but it also comes at a serious cost to buy and install those. Kinda of a "pay me now or pay be later" thing. I'm sure they've done the cost analysis to see which way ends up costing them less. And that's gonna depend a lot on usage level. The stations that get high usage during peak periods will see the most demand charges, thus be the biggest candidates for storage.Fun fact regarding demand charges: ~60 of the Electrify America sites so far have Tesla Powerpacks at them to help reduce demand charges/grid impact.
But wow, those things are expensive!
