Halo Energy is proud to announce a strategic collaboration with Freedom, an Australian fuel retailer, to develop an electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across all Freedom service stations in Queensland, Australia. The partnership will deploy Halo's latest "Energy+" technology, integrating large-scale battery storage with DC fast chargers. This system is designed to overcome local grid constraints, optimize energy tariffs, and deliver ultra-fast charging in 15-30 minutes. The collaboration aims to deploy more than 100 charging stations across Australia within the next three years. Furthermore, Halo will partner with Euroka Energy to create a Virtual Power Plant (VPP). This initiative will maximize revenue from the charging network by intelligently buying, selling, and storing electricity at the most advantageous times and prices.
