The GenCell Evox combines hydrogen fuel cells generating 240kWh/day with 372 kWh of lithium-ion batteries and proprietary AI-driven DERMS software to provide reliable, long-duration, grid-independent climate-resilient power for critical applications. This provides a rapidly deployable, robust micro-grid type system that exemplifies integrated energy storage and hydrogen-based power generation applications for areas that might not have sufficient grid power.
The collaboration between the CMC and GenCell aims to advance research and development and adoption of zero-emission vehicles, address related workforce challenges and advance expansion of clean energy and transportation technologies in Sacramento and beyond.
The Evox deployment aligns with CMC's goals by introducing EVs and clean mobility options to California communities, especially those that are historically under-resourced or situated in environmentally unhealthy zones.
The deployment will also reduce transportation emissions by providing public access to EV charging; provide workforce development via a learning lab for students; and ensure charging and grid stabilisation is available to communities in the event of natural disasters or public safety power shutoff situations.
