Electric Era and SK Signet Successfully Demonstrate AI-Driven, High-Power Storage Electric Vehicle Battery

First Functional Fast-Charging Electric Era PowerNode™ Unit Delivered Through Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI’s) Incubatenergy Labs 2022 Program in Conjunction with SK Signet’s Electric Vehicle Charging Station

Electric Era, a designer and manufacturer of AI-driven storage solutions for electric vehicle (EV) fast charging, announced that a series of high-profile customer charging demonstrations and a ribbon cutting event for their first functional PowerNode unit in the field were held last week at the Knoxville, Tennessee campus of EPRI, the world’s preeminent independent, non-profit energy research and development organization. As a participant in EPRI’s Incubatenergy Labs 2022 Cohort program designed for startups to engage with the institute and energy companies in paid demonstration projects, Electric Era delivered and successfully demonstrated PowerNode — the company’s high-power storage system for operators of fast charging stations. SK Signet America, a top global manufacturer of EV charging solutions, also participated in the historic Electric Era PowerNode demonstrations by making a DC high-power fast charger available.
