GenCell to operate a long-term live working demonstration of the GenCell EVOX DER solution at the CMC facility, allowing visitors to get 'charged up'
SACRAMENTO, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Mobility Center (CMC) and GenCell® (TASE: GNCL) have partnered to demonstrate the zero-emission GenCell EVOX® bridge power solution for fast EV charging at CMC's Sacramento facility throughout 2024. The GenCell EVOX combines hydrogen fuel cells generating 240kWh/day with 372 kWh of lithium-ion batteries and proprietary AI-driven DERMS software to provide reliable, long-duration, grid-independent climate-resilient power for critical applications. This provides a rapidly deployable, robust micro-grid type system that exemplifies integrated energy storage and hydrogen-based power generation applications for areas that might not have sufficient grid power.
"The partnership with GenCell is another example of the CMC helping accelerate and promote clean energy and transportation technology and ensuring California can meet its clean air goals," said Orville Thomas, CEO of the California Mobility Center. "The CMC's current facility, like a lot of workplaces and fleet depots in California, doesn't have sufficient power for fast charging. This collaboration to showcase the GenCell EVOX will highlight power solutions that can be used to bridge between where technology is now and where we need it to be."
Added Rami Reshef, GenCell CEO: "We share with the CMC a passion and deep commitment for decarbonization of transportation. Through our collaboration, we can demonstrate how GenCell EVOX deployments at critical spots quickly meet both sustainability AND resilience goals, reinforcing interest in and financing for multiple such mobility hubs across the region and beyond. This is a step forward towards our #GreenFSG vision for self-contained fuel-store-generate solutions providing uninterrupted green power anywhere."
The collaboration between the CMC and GenCell aims to advance research and development and adoption of zero-emission vehicles, address related workforce challenges and advance expansion of clean energy and transportation technologies in Sacramento and beyond. The EVOX deployment aligns with CMC's goals by:
- Introducing EVs and clean mobility options to California communities, especially those that are historically under-resourced or situated in environmentally unhealthy zones;
- Reducing transportation emissions by providing public access to EV charging;
- Providing workforce development via a learning lab for students;
- Ensuring charging and grid stabilization is available to communities in the event of natural disasters or public safety power shutoff situations.
The CMC, GenCell and the Sacramento Clean Cities Coalition will introduce the GenCell EVOX at an event for stakeholders at the CMC on August 5th; for details, click here.
