Client case: Interparking gets EV charging infrastructure without grid reinforcement
Interparking wanted to install charging points in their Dinant parking facility, but ran into insufficient grid capacity. C-battery provided the solution: by integrating smart battery storage, what looked like a dead end became an operational success.
Limited grid connection
As a parking operator, Interparking wanted to offer customers the ability to charge their vehicles on-site. The plan: six charging points (three dual AC charging stations) at their new location in Dinant.
Charging stations don’t run constantly, but when a car plugs in, the power demand spikes. And that was exactly the problem: couldn’t deliver that peak demand, and upgrading it wasn’t a realistic option. A grid reinforcement would have meant a major investment and a wait of months, possibly years.
Our strengths
Fully in-house engineering
From the initial feasibility study to final delivery: our team of specialized engineers designs and builds every battery container entirely in-house.
Very fast solution
No waiting months or years for the grid operator. Thanks to our local production, tight planning and plug-and-play design, we guarantee a fast solution for your business.
Smart monitoring
Our in-house-developed Battery Management System keeps a watchful eye on your battery. It optimises battery behaviour, tracks battery health, and drives our multi-stage safety system.
Mobile BESS as a microgrid
C-battery recommended a 10-foot mobile battery container. It acts as a local microgrid – essentially a small-scale power network that can store, distribute, and recharge energy.
The battery connects to the grid and trickle-charges continuously. The built-in inverter ensures the battery can always deliver enough power to run the charging infrastructure, while the Energy Management System (EMS) keeps supply and demand in balance at all times.
“For our Dinant site, C-battery immediately stood out to us: a Belgian, high-quality BESS manufacturer that allows us to roll out our charging infrastructure further. Thanks to their mobile container, we’ll soon be able to offer six charging points, without depending on lengthy grid reinforcements.”
Willem Verzwijvelt, Head of Technical Services at Interparking

From Oudenaarde to Dinant
At C-battery, our strength lies in local production and in-house engineering. Our own engineers design, assemble and test the battery container entirely at our workshop in Oudenaarde. This allows us to switch gears and deliver quickly, which meant the logistics operation to Dinant ran smoothly and without delay.
