AFC Energy's 500 Mile "Dunsfold to Dundee Dash" EV Charger
Roadshow Commences Today
AFC Energy (AIM: AFC), a leading provider of hydrogen power
generation technologies, is pleased to announce the commencement of
the Dunsfold to Dundee Dash, a 500 mile hydrogen fueled EV charger
roadshow across the UK, starting at AFC Energy's Dunsfold head
office in Surrey and finishing in Dundee, Scotland.
The roadshow will highlight the benefits and capability of AFC
Energy's latest off grid, zero emission H-Power EV Charger,
launched in December last year.
The event will cross the UK from south to north, stopping at
various stakeholder and partner functions along the way where
interested parties, including local governments, industrials,
national parks, heritage trusts, and property developers will have
the opportunity to witness the operation of our off-grid EV charger
unit and explore the potential for deployment in local
applications.
First stop on the Roadshow will be on the 4(th) February at
Rotherham's Advanced Manufacturing Park ("AMP"), where AFC Energy
will be hosted by leading land and property regeneration company,
Harworth plc. The AMP is one of Harworth Group's flagship
developments and home to some of the global manufacturers including
Rolls-Royce and Boeing. Technology developed at the AMP is
currently utilised in a diverse range of projects and applications
which could well make use of AFC Energy's hydrogen-based
solutions.
The Roadshow will conclude on the 20th of February at Michelin
Scotland Innovation Parc ("MSIP") where AFC Energy has been invited
to participate in MSIP's "Innovation in Scotland's Energy Storage
Industry" event
(https://www.msipdundee.com/events/innovation-in-scotlands-energy-storage-industry/)
at the 32-hectare world class centre for innovation.
In the interim, the Company will meet and demonstrate the system
to schools, partners, and other commercial interest to witness the
charger in operation, with a view to better understand how hydrogen
and fuel cells can be used as an important element of the UK's
decarbonisation strategy.
The car for the event - a Tesla Model S 75D - will drive the 500
mile journey from Dunsfold to Dundee with charges to the 72.5kWh
battery coming from the AFC Energy hydrogen fueled EV charger unit,
without emission of any greenhouse gases, further demonstrating how
range anxiety in Electric Vehicles can be overcome without the
expected material investment in the national grid or local
distribution networks.
Adam Bond, Chief Executive Officer at AFC Energy, said "This is
a proud moment for the AFC Energy team. Following the successful
launch of our EV charger unit in December last year, and the vast
array of enquiries we are now in discussions to advance, the
national Roadshow was always the next layer of proof in
demonstrating the possibilities of our zero-emission EV charger
system. The ambitious deployment of EV charging in the UK and
across Europe is already beginning to bite with real life case
studies already highlighting the risk our grid poses to the
deployment of a fleet of decarbonised private and light commercial
EVs. Technologies such as AFC Energy's hydrogen fuelled EV charger
are good for investors, the environment and for UK in securing our
energy future".
