"The ElectricFish 400squared can be installed in as little as a few hours instead of months. That's because it doesn't need costly grid upgradesand the secret lies inside the box. America's EV charging infrastructure is growing nicely, but there's still more to do if charging anxiety is to become a thing of the past. The U.S. has over 14,000 DC fast charging stations with more than 67,000 individual ports, but one startup reckons it can speed up installations by eliminating one of the main bottlenecks:"
"The secret? Batteries. The charger has 400-kilowatt-hours of energy stored in batteries, and the total power output is rated at 400 kilowatts200 kW per port if two EVs are connected at the same time. Thanks to the huge battery, which can be intelligently charged and discharged, the bulky charging cabinet's minimum grid connection requirements are more than reasonable. The battery can be charged when the stalls are free, and then energy can be transferred to EVs in need of a top-up."
"The ElectricFish 400squared can power up from a split-phase 120- or 240-volt connection that can provide at least 55 amps. There's also a three-phase 208-volt option that needs 83 amps, while the top-spec model can take in three-phase 480V and 115A. Photo by: ElectricFish The startup claims its solution has an uptime of 99% and that, in certain cases, the installation can be done in as little as two hours."
The ElectricFish 400squared is a plug-and-play DC fast charger that can be installed in as little as a few hours without extensive grid upgrades. The stall integrates a 400-kilowatt-hour battery and eliminates the need for a separate power distribution cabinet. Total power output is 400 kilowatts, providing 200 kW per port when two vehicles are connected. The onboard battery can be intelligently charged during low use and discharged to fast-charge vehicles, reducing minimum grid connection requirements. The unit supports split-phase 120- or 240-volt (≥55 A), three-phase 208 V (83 A), or three-phase 480 V (115 A). The company claims 99% uptime.
