Technology advantage

The PowerNode™ system is an AI-driven, high-power battery storage system that intelligently manages power to and from the grid. This allows for fast charging even in locations with grid constraints, significantly reducing installation time and cost.

How they differentiate

Electric Era's key differentiator is its PowerNode™ technology, a battery-integrated, AI-powered fast charging system. This allows for rapid deployment (in as little as 16 weeks) and reduces strain on the electrical grid. By using battery storage, it minimizes expensive demand charges for site hosts, making the economics of fast charging more attractive. Their system is designed as a turnkey solution, including installation and maintenance.
