Charging points and domestic wall boxes for electric cars have one thing in common: They are dependent on the power grid. This means that renewable electricity is not always guaranteed. And charging is not possible in the event of blackouts. After ten years of development, "AFC Energy" from Great Britain has presented the first charging solution in the world that works independently of the power grid and is instead powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. An inverter transfers the energy generated by the fuel cell to a charger. This is ultimately available as electricity to the electric car. The system, which goes by the name of "Ch2arge", also includes a 48-volt battery storage system, which helps out during consumption peaks, and a hydrogen storage tank that enables 140 charging processes.
