ElectricFish Unveils Rapid EV Charging Solution at U.S. Gas Stations, Paving the Way for a Greener Future
ElectricFish Energy Inc., a Silicon Valley innovator, has announced its new Turbo Charge service at CES 2026, positioning U.S. gas stations as key players in the electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape. This groundbreaking initiative promises quick charging sessions of just 8 to 10 minutes, allowing EV drivers to gain up to 180 miles of range—significantly reducing the wait times typical of conventional charging solutions.
ElectricFish stands out by integrating advanced hardware, software, and AI to strategically manage energy flow, ensuring that fast charging not only meets user demand but also stabilizes the grid. "We focus on optimizing time and uptime rather than just selling chargers," said Nelio Batista, CTO of ElectricFish. The company employs its self-sustained battery-operated chargers that require minimal grid connection, mitigating traditional high installation costs and lengthy setup times.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Quick Charging: Sessions of 8 to 10 minutes for substantial range replenishment.
- Decentralized Grid Support: Chargers operate from a 400 kWh battery, creating a distributed network that eases grid stress.
- Revenue Sharing Model: Gas station owners can easily integrate charging stations without high upfront costs, sharing in the profits generated.
- AI-Powered Management: The system optimizes energy usage and predicts demand, benefiting both site hosts and utility providers.
Recent deployments include a site in Detroit’s Eastern Market, part of the Toyota Mobility Foundation’s initiative for sustainable urban transport. With growing interest from California and Michigan for EV infrastructure development, ElectricFish aims to transform gas stations into energy hubs capable of supporting a future where electric vehicle adoption thrives.
For further details and scaling information, ElectricFish will demonstrate its full ecosystem at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. The implications of this innovation mark a critical step in bridging the gap between existing gas infrastructure and the needs of an increasingly electrified transportation future.
