Bulk battery charging

[Nosheyack]

Hello and thank you for letting me post in your community!
I work for a bike share operator in the US and we are moving our fleet into the world of E-bikes. While many of us here in our operation are experienced mechanics, electricians, and technicians we are looking for insight into how to charge large quantities of Bosch 400 watt batteries. We will be charging at maximum 100 batteries. We are planning on upgrading our electrical service to handle this electrical load.
Does anyone with E-bike fleet knowledge have experience with this? Or any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks!

You are going to need a few multi bank chargers and then equip them with the correct battery connectors. Somewhere like this may help with what you are looking for...

Thanks for sharing! This looks like a good resource for our future.
I was thinking for in terms of shelving or racking for this operation.
Has anyone built or bought anything for large capacity operations?

I think you need to reach out to Bosch...

I did see that. I was thinking there would be some input from a rental market. Looking for input on how they deal with
charging management.

I was just thinking about this as a home-based problem since we have four ebikes. I think someday there will be a market for some kind of rack and charger system for people to use in their homes for their family of ebikes.
