California Mobility Center Deploys GenCell EVOX® for Fast EV Charging in Sacramento
The California Mobility Center (CMC) and GenCell® have partnered to demonstrate the zero-emission GenCell EVOX® bridge power solution for fast EV charging at CMC’s Sacramento facility throughout 2024. This initiative will showcase the GenCell EVOX’s ability to provide reliable, long-duration, grid-independent, and climate-resilient power for critical applications.
Key Highlights:
- Partnership for Clean Energy: CMC and GenCell’s collaboration aims to advance clean energy and transportation technology in California.
- GenCell EVOX Technology: The solution combines hydrogen fuel cells generating 240kWh/day with 372 kWh of lithium-ion batteries and proprietary AI-driven DERMS software.
- Zero-Emission Power: Provides a rapidly deployable, robust micro-grid system for areas with insufficient grid power.
- Sustainability and Resilience: Supports decarbonization of transportation and ensures uninterrupted green 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, development, and adoption of zero-emission vehicles. The EVOX deployment aligns with CMC’s goals by:
- Introducing EVs and clean mobility options to under-resourced communities.
- Reducing transportation emissions by providing public access to EV charging.
- Workforce development via a learning lab for students.
- Ensuring charging and grid stabilization during 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.
