A Toyota dealer on Long Island says it cut its energy costs by an average of 55% over three months by putting solar, battery storage, DC fast chargers, and AI-powered energy management under one roof.

Sunrise Toyota operates dealerships in Oakdale and Medford, New York. Utility bills were already rising, and adding the DC fast chargers required by Toyota risked pushing costs even higher.

That’s because commercial customers don’t just pay for how much electricity they use. Their bills can also include demand charges based on the highest amount of power they draw at once, and a DC fast charger can cause a costly spike.

Battery storage developer Sprocket Power built and now manages an integrated system at the two dealerships that combines onsite solar, EVO Power batteries, Kempower DC fast chargers, and software from Ranial Systems.
