Today’s announcement marks a quick milestone for AFC and Rolec following on from their initial team-up.
“Since announcing our first prototype EV charging unit, we have continued to see growing interest in the compelling story of zero emission, off grid EV charging where we are seeking a clear early mover advantage,” said Adam Bond, AFC chief executive.
“Delivery of a mobile off grid reference EV charger within 12 months of the first prototype demonstrates the commitment and focus the company has to maximise this early mover advantage.
“Our collaboration with Rolec and the validation they provide to the specification of the system is a serious step forward to the commercialisation of this exciting new product."
Rolec EV general manager, Tom Pollard, meanwhile, added: “Demand from our customers for off grid or supplemental grid power continues to grow to meet the burgeoning growth in electric vehicles, particularly amongst fleet and transit businesses.
“Our collaboration with AFC Energy is now on the cusp of demonstrating, in only a few months, the world's first off grid hydrogen fuelled EV charger and we remain as ever excited at the prospects this new product brings to our portfolio of EV charging solutions."
