ADS-TEC Energy

ADS-TEC Energy is a German company that develops and produces intelligent decentralised energy platforms with integrated battery storage systems. It was spun out of the ADS-TEC Group, and the company says it develops and builds these platforms entirely in-house. Its platforms are aimed at fast charging for electric vehicles on power-limited distribution grids and at battery services for the grid. ADS-TEC Energy is based in Germany.

Platforms and applications

• Fast charging: charging for electric vehicles where the distribution network has limited capacity.
• Grid services: battery platforms for network services that balance supply and absorb load peaks.
• Self-consumption: optimization of on-site energy use and peak shaving, including peaks caused by heat pumps or EV charging.

Group background and listing

The site describes the ADS-TEC Group as a medium-sized family business now run by its second generation, with origins in 1980 and a family foundation among its shareholders. ADS-TEC Energy initially had Bosch as a significant shareholder before a SPAC transaction with European Sustainable Growth listed it on NASDAQ under the ticker ADSE. Its subsidiary ads-tec Industrial IT GmbH develops and manufactures industrial computers and IT systems, with security, remote management and cloud services as focus areas.

Long-term partnership

The site describes ADS-TEC Energy as a long-term partner for energy companies that want to build locally optimised business models on its platforms. It says the Industrial IT subsidiary has more than 40 years of experience, and that security, firewall, data acquisition and cloud services matter for industry and infrastructure.
