#94: How EV Charging Can Build Grid Resilience

Jan 28, 2025
26:55

Greetings Earthlings! In this episode of Earthlings 2.0, we speak with Anurag Kamal, CEO and co-founder of ElectricFish, about their innovative approach to ultra-fast EV charging. ElectricFish’s solution is designed not only to speed up EV charging but also to enhance grid stability and provide backup power during outages. Anurag shares the inspiration behind the company's name, their technology’s unique advantages, and the future of bidirectional EV charging.

Key Points:

  • Grid-Friendly EV Charging: ElectricFish's ultra-fast charging solution uses a 400-kilowatt-hour battery that charges slowly from existing grid power and rapidly delivers energy to EVs. This avoids placing stress on local electrical grids, making it easier to deploy chargers in areas with grid constraints.
  • Bidirectional Power Capability: The system isn’t just for EV charging. It offers grid support during times of stress and can feed power back into the grid or local buildings. ElectricFish’s chargers even support vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications for large batteries like those in school buses.
  • Nature-Inspired Innovation: ElectricFish draws inspiration from the electric eel, mimicking its ability to store and rapidly discharge energy. This philosophy extends to the company’s design of modular, containerized energy storage systems that are easy to deploy and maintain.
