ZincFive’s battery cabinet-based building block matchlessly offers immediate high-power performance of up to 10C continuous discharge with no risk of thermal runaway. In addition, it is one of the lowest carbon footprint batteries with industry-leading metal material recovery recycling.

Combined, it provides an attractive building block for applications in urban and industrial environments where volatile battery chemistries are prohibited or where space constraints make large footprint systems impractical.

Kaizen Clean Energy (KCE), a leader in hydrogen-based microgrids, has developed an industry-first integrated distributed energy solution for EV charging, hydrogen fuelling, and backup power for the grid and critical assets. KCE’s integrated solution comprises its commercially proven hydrogen generator, ZincFive’s immediate power nickel-zinc batteries, and fuel cells from PowerCell. The resulting energy solution offers customers modular, scalable, sustainable, and economic hydrogen fuelling and EV charging.

Meanwhile, Advanced Power & Energy (AP&E) is developing a portfolio of power products designed for commercial and industrial applications that support and enable EV DC fast charging, behind the meter renewables and industrial starter applications using a tool-kit approach to site upgrades, installation, and futureproofing. The company is piloting its first ZincFive immediate power solution DC fast charging in Pennsylvania.
