#9 AFC Energy launches modular, hydrogen-powered EV refueling station fully independent of the central grid

In Britain, AFC Energy has developed and officially launched a modular, hydrogen-powered charging station for electric vehicles. The off-grid system is self-contained and designed to cover areas with poor grid coverage with rapid charging “anywhere it is needed”. Citing a need for immense EV infrastructure expansion over a short time, as the UK aims for electrification on a massive scale, AFC aims to supply more remote locations with high power charging.The CEO of AFC stated that their system is “independent of the grid and delivers EV charging in the most remote off-grid locations or in highly populated urban areas where supply is over-subscribed. With this system, we provide a solution to support the industry’s emerging need for a national network of EV charge-points.”
