GenCell's EVOX: A Versatile Power Unit for Electric Vehicles and Grid Extension
Key Ideas
  • GenCell's EVOX is a mobile power unit that can charge over two dozen electric vehicles a day, using hydrogen and ammonia fuel for quick charging and energy storage.
  • The unit can also serve as an extension to the grid, providing a versatile power-up option for areas that require fast, reliable, and flexible power sources.
  • With the ability to utilize various sustainable energy sources, including solar, wind, and the grid, EVOX stands as a key tool in addressing energy resiliency and reducing heat-trapping air pollution.
  • Despite the high cost of $250,000 to $500,000, the EVOX unit offers significant value for energy-needy work sites and remote communities, especially in times of outages or temporary power needs.
GenCell, based in Israel, recently unveiled its EVOX device during an expo in California. The EVOX, standing for electric vehicle operational extender, is designed to charge electric vehicles quickly, addressing range anxiety. It can store energy from solar, wind, and the grid, while also generating electricity using hydrogen and ammonia fuel. This technology allows EVOX to charge up to 30 cars a day and serve as an extension to the grid. The unit is portable, fitting into a 20-foot shipping container for easy transport and rapid deployment. GenCell emphasizes the importance of its EVOX unit in meeting climate goals and reducing air pollution. By leveraging a mix of sustainable energy sources, the unit offers flexibility and energy resiliency to various applications. Additionally, artificial intelligence is integrated into the system to analyze energy demand efficiently. While the EVOX unit comes at a significant cost, between $250,000 to $500,000, its value is evident for energy-needy locations and communities requiring reliable power sources. The unit's ability to work with different DC fast-chargers and lithium-ion batteries showcases its adaptability and readiness for deployment. Despite the availability of other power solutions like solar panels and battery packs, the EVOX unit remains a valuable asset for responding to outages and temporary power needs in the current energy landscape.
