The company says Ziggy is the first and only such innovation in the charging industry, is AI-enabled and includes high-definition screens for communications and advertising. The EnergyTech Accelerator, powered by Alabama Power and located in the heart of Birmingham, Ala., is part of a global program led by Techstars, an institutional investor providing investment, access to capital, mentorship, and other support for the approximately 1% of startup applicants accepted into the program.
EV Safe Charge is a leading provider of flexible electric vehicle charging technology, offering end-to-end charging solutions to support the demands of the rapidly growing EV market. Last year it previewed Ziggy, its mobile charging robot, a major breakthrough in EV charging because it allows facilities, shopping and entertainment centres, hotels, fleet operators, airports and property owners to overcome the significant limitations of stationary EV chargers with a safe and affordable solution.
“The company's mobile robotic EV charger brings a groundbreaking solution to the EV charging world that addresses range anxiety, one of the barriers to mass EV adoption. Our Birmingham innovation hub offers cost-effective manufacturing, energy tech mentors and highly skilled professionals that will undoubtedly help EV Safe Charge to unleash its full potential,” said Matthew Jaeh, managing director of Techstars Alabama EnergyTech Accelerator. “The company is well on its way to big accomplishments in clean tech."
