First H2 Generator for Charging E-Vehicles
Clean City and its technology partners HyMove and Venema have introduced the "GameChanger 1." It is the first mobile, off-grid power generator with a fuel cell for fast charging of electric vehicles. With the capability to charge two electric vehicles simultaneously with a total output of 120 kW, the GameChanger 1 was specifically developed for the needs of the Port of Livorno, one of the largest European hubs for electric cars. The electric cars are charged on board the roll-on/roll-off ships. By the end of 2024, Clean City and its partners will present the "GameChanger 2," the first mobile off-grid megawatt charger with a capacity of 800 kW DC on a trailer, which can charge four electric cars simultaneously or a truck according to the new MCS standard.
The Partners
- Clean City, a Swiss engineering firm dedicated to the carbon-free energy transition, developed the Integrated Multi Generation System (IMGS), an innovative, clean, and cost-efficient solution for fast charging electric vehicles with direct current
- HyMove builds fuel cell systems that are already used in a variety of applications, such as buses and ships, in the construction industry, and in container handling
- Venema designs and produces charging and battery systems, particularly for the heavy-duty market
Reactions to the World Premiere
“The off-grid direct current supply is destined to become a real enabler for electromobility,” said Agim Gjinali, founder and CEO of Clean City, “especially in a scenario where the demand for direct current for data centers is rapidly increasing and the capacity of the AC grid is limited. In the 2050 energy mix, local energy generation with hydrogen will dominate.”
Alberto Caetani, COO of Clean City: "We are facing a true revolution. So far, mobile and off-grid solutions were essentially power banks, that is, batteries charged on the grid to then recharge electric vehicles themselves. Clean City is marketing a mobile generator that can charge electric vehicles around the clock with decentralized green energy."
“With our solution, we contribute to a greener world while simultaneously reducing the need for huge, long-term investments in electrical infrastructure, which is increasingly under pressure and even nearing saturation. Our solutions provide relief for the Dutch infrastructure, but also for Europe and the entire world,” explained Theo Hendriks, founder and CEO of HyMove.
Clean City and HyMove are also entering into a strategic partnership for the production of 2,000 mobile charging stations in delivery vans and containers, with which they aim to supply all of Europe.
