ElectricFish Opens New Facility in California to Manufacture Ultrafast EV Chargers with Built-In Energy Storage Systems
ElectricFish has commenced operations at its new manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in San Carlos, California, supported in part by a $1.69 million grant from the California Energy Commission (CEC).
The facility will be used to manufacture ElectricFish's intelligent grid edge charging solutions, which the company hopes will not only accelerate EV adoption, particularly in areas facing grid constraints, but also help communities prepare for increased power outages due to climate change.
“California has some of the country’s most ambitious goals for electrifying transportation and providing resilient infrastructure to support historically disadvantaged communities,” said David Hochschild, Chair of the CEC. “ElectricFish’s products will help California meet its bold clean transportation goals while creating new manufacturing jobs in California.”
To start, the facility will solely focus on producing the company's flagship product - the 350Squared, an infrastructure solution that combines an energy storage system with an ultrafast EV charger.
The energy storage system is capable of providing backup power during grid outages or disruptions, features bi-directional capabilities, and can participate in grid ancillary service programs, such as demand response. The 350 kW ultrafast EV charger is capable of offering drivers 20 miles of range per minute of charging.
By focusing production on the 350Squared, ElectricFish will be able to meet the demands of its rapidly growing pipeline of installation projects, ranging from fleet charging depots to national parks and military facilities.
“For the first time, we’re introducing an energy asset that boosts grid security while reducing the costs of deploying extremely fast EV charging,” said ElectricFish CEO Anurag Kamal. “We understand that customers and communities value future-proofing their energy infrastructure with products that make reliable, resilient power available to everyone."
In addition, ElectricFish has committed to expanding the number of positions at its new facility by 300% by April 2025 to help meet the demand.
