ElectricFish, dedicated to building the next-generation of distributed energy infrastructure, announced the company’s new manufacturing facility and corporate headquarters in San Carlos, California is officially open.
The company builds and deploys intelligent grid edge charging solutions to accelerate electric vehicle (EV) adoption, especially in areas with grid constraints. Its solutions also help prepare communities for increased power outages due to climate change.
Supported in part by $1.69 million in grants from the CEC, ElectricFish’s new facility will immediately start producing the company’s flagship product, the 350Squared, the industry’s most advanced infrastructure for combined fast EV charging and energy resilience.
The new facility will support ElectricFish’s rapidly growing pipeline of installations across different sectors in the country, from fleet charging depots to government uses, such as national parks and military facilities. The company plans to expand its employee base by 300% by April 2025, with a range of new positions including engineers, electricians and technicians.
“ElectricFish is tackling the need for more high-speed EV charging and doing it in a way that is easier on the grid and can be deployed faster, while also creating new manufacturing jobs right here on the Peninsula in one of the industries of the future. We need a lot more innovators like ElectricFish in the fight against climate change,” said California State Senator Josh Becker.
The National Park Service, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers have completed successful pilot projects with ElectricFish. These projects demonstrate the system’s abilities to unlock dc fast charging in grid-constrained sites in days instead of years, while also providing backup energy for critical onsite loads.
Its patented smart optimization software also reduces peak energy consumption, helps use onsite solar to charge EVs, and even earns revenue from participating in utility programs.
