## Startup Unveils Groundbreaking Tech That Could Transform EV Charging: ‘We Sell Time’

A typical 10-minute charging session using ElectricFish technology can add up to 200 miles of range, more then enough for the average American’s daily drive of approximately 40 miles, according to Replica data.
backed by five issued U.S. patents, ElectricFish’s Reef management system and Stargazer AI platform optimize charging, energy storage, and grid interaction. The system can store electricity when prices are low and sell it back to utilities during periods of high demand,contributing to grid stability.
“We don’t sell EV chargers or batteries; we sell time and uptime,” said Nelio Batista, ElectricFish CTO and co-founder. “We’ve decoupled charging speed from grid limits by actively managing when energy flows in or out, so fast charging strengthens the grid instead of destabilizing it.”
This less energy-intensive charging approach has the potential to considerably reduce emissions. ElectricFish estimates a potential reduction of up to 60% compared to traditional charging methods, promoting the adoption of zero-emission vehicles and lessening the environmental impact of transportation.
ElectricFish has partnered with Hyundai and installed a charger at the automaker’s California Proving Ground, where it demonstrated high charging power even during extreme summer temperatures. They have also recently announced a partnership with bp to deploy their technology at select bp locations.
If widely adopted, this technology could make EVs more accessible and convenient for a broader range of drivers.
