Seek an EV charge point or let the power come to you
Summary
The Go charger combines hardware, software and machine learning with a business mode that brings affordable, practical EV charging to more people, says ZipCharge. At the launch, Jonathan Carrier, said: “In light of the Government’s recent Net Zero Strategy: Build Back Greener manifesto announcement, never before has the automotive industry had cause to innovate so rapidly to help us reach a low carbon future. According to Mike Hawes, the chief executive of the UK’s SMMT (Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders): “In the same way people charge a phone overnight, people will want to charge at home when they park overnight.” The Go’s aluminium space frame houses high energy density NMC lithium-ion battery cells and the associated power electronics. ZipCharge says that when hundreds of decentralised Go chargers are pooled together they can form a virtual power plant that can supply response services when needed. Integrated 2G/4G connectivity enables users to remotely manage their Go charger via the ZipCharge mobile app to monitor the device and schedule charging events so the power pack is always ready for when they need it.
