Israeli Startup Partners With California Mobility Center On EV Power

GenCell, an Israeli clean energy startup that produces hydrogen from liquid ammonia, has partnered with the California Mobility Center (CMC) to demonstrate the former’s zero-emission EVOX bridge power solution for fast EV charging. 

EVOX combines hydrogen fuel cells with lithium-ion batteries and proprietary AI-driven DERMS software to provide reliable, long-lasting and climate-resilient power that is not dependent on the grid. 

The partnership aims to advance R&D for and adoption of zero-emission vehicles, as well as promote the expansion of clean energy and transportation technologies in Sacramento and further afield. 

“The partnership with GenCell is another example of the CMC helping accelerate and promote clean energy and transportation technology and ensuring California can meet its clean air goals,” said Orville Thomas, CEO of the California Mobility Center. 

“The CMC’s current facility, like a lot of workplaces and fleet depots in California, doesn’t have sufficient power for fast charging. This collaboration to showcase the GenCell EVOX will highlight power solutions that can be used to bridge between where technology is now and where we need it to be,” he said. 

“We share with the CMC a passion and deep commitment for decarbonization of transportation,” said GenCell CEO Rami Reshef. 

“Through our collaboration, we can demonstrate how GenCell EVOX deployments at critical spots quickly meet both sustainability and resilience goals, reinforcing interest in and financing for multiple such mobility hubs across the region and beyond.”

The solution will be showcased at CMC’s Sacramento facility throughout the rest of 2024.
