GenCell, EV Motors to work on off-grid charging
The project will provide demonstration sites that are expected to attract interest from e-mobility companies worldwide.

GenCell Energy,
a leading Israel-based manufacturer of fuel-cell energy solutions,
announced it has signed an agreement with EV Motors Ltd., an Israeli
importer of electric vehicles, chargers and energy storage systems for
electric vehicles.
EV
is also the exclusive Israeli representative of several companies,
among them Sun Surplus Energy and Co. Ltd., a leading developer of
energy storage and advanced EV charging systems.
The two companies have agreed to cooperate on the development of a joint project integrating GenCell’s alkaline fuel cells with EV Motors’
electric vehicle-charging technologies to enable autonomous, off-grid,
hybrid-electric vehicle-charging stations that eliminate the need for
fossil-fuel backup generators.
The project will provide demonstration sites that are expected to attract interest from e-mobility companies worldwide.
This
collaboration will contribute to the worldwide delivery of the charging
infrastructure required to meet the global EV-charging market demand,
which is expected to exceed $207 billion by 2030. GenCell and EV Motors
will create a new off-grid hybrid charging solution that will provide
reliable local power supplies with zero emissions from the vehicle.

The
joint system is expected to be ready for initial deployment in Israel
by the first half of 2022.
Following the success of the initial project
in Israel, the two companies will consider expanding the cooperation to
similar projects in China and other territories via EV’s existing
partner network including Sun Surplus Energy and Co Ltd.
“EV
Motors and its subsidiaries have been constantly researching and
developing a solution to the challenges of the transition from
fossil-fueled vehicles to electrically driven ones. We are very glad to
have connected with GenCell to provide sustainable and environmental
fuel cells for our charging stations, thus offering the market a
reliable, clean and effective solution,” remarked EV Motors chairman
Ohad Seligmann.
GenCell
CEO Rami Reshef commented, “GenCell is extremely excited about this
agreement with EV Motors and the opportunity to demonstrate the
significant value that alkaline fuel cells can contribute to maintaining
zero-emission continuous power at autonomous off-grid hybrid EV
charging stations. As the number of electric vehicles increases, the
demand for a wide network of distributed EV charging stations will grow
exponentially.
“On
the one hand, forecasts indicate that grid power will not be sufficient
to power the estimated quantity of EVs that will reach the roads, and
on the other, many destinations to which EVs will need to travel will be
beyond the power grid. In both of these scenarios, autonomous off-grid
EV charging stations powered by hydrogen and ammonia will be a key
solution.
“As a
fuel-cell pioneer based in Israel, GenCell is proud to be able to
resolve this important challenge for the Israeli market and will be even
more excited to demonstrate the proven use case to e-mobility providers
around the globe. As the world’s eyes are focused on COP26 and climate
issues, GenCell is proud to bring innovative clean-energy technologies
that can play an important role in accelerating the transition to
renewable energy in Israel and around the world.”
