An off-grid charger manufacturer L-Charge has received pre-orders amounting to $5 million for its mobile EV charging solution during its roadshow in Europe.
L-Charge focuses on crafting a scalable network of off-grid EV chargers powered by clean fuels. The company went on a roadshow to Europe promoting its focus on CO2 regulations, the impact of the rising demand for EVs, new standards, targets, and powertrain scenarios.
As a result of European tour, L-Charge received pre-orders up to 5 million US dollars. It is worth mentioning that earlier L-Charge has raised investment of $1,5 mln. The funds have come from private investors attracted by the ability to charge an electric vehicle with sufficient power for 100 km in just 3-8 minutes using a hydrogen fuel cell or natural-gas-fueled electrical generator.
Among the summit participants were Porsche, Honda R&D Europe, Norwegian EV Association, Ministry of Transport Baden-Württemberg and others. L-charge acted as a silver sponsor of the event.
Since the Sustainability topic is even more important now, automotive manufacturers are focusing further on EVs and green solutions. The second day of the summit was dedicated to environmental topics and upcoming European regulations to facilitate effective decision-making. During the morning session, L-Charge CEO, Dmitry Lashin gave a speech on the topic “LNG/H2 as the Fastest Source to Build Electric Vehicle infrastructure”.
Dmitry highlighted: “63% of EV owners are forced to change their travel plans because of the lack of charging infrastructure. But they won’t anymore.”
Moreover, after the presentation, Dmitry had a meaningful discussion with the founder of Electric Vehicles Outlook Ltd, Roger Atkins, regarding electric revolution.
As EV charging infrastructure is quickly changing to fit the majority of customer’s demands, renewed speakers discussed safe and public charging, as well as challenges and opportunities. What is more, the future outlook could not be overlooked, so topics such as the prospect of sustainable mobility, Brexit, and 2030 petrol and diesel bans were looked upon also.
LNG can be almost equal to the emissions produced from the actual burning of the gas, effectively doubling the climate impact of each unit of energy created from gas transported overseas. 21 percent of total life-cycle emissions for LNG constitute up to 14 percent of LNG’s life-cycle emissions.
