The power is made here.
One container holds the whole plant: 500 kg of hydrogen at 700 bar, a fuel cell rated up to 640 kW and a 250+ kWh battery buffer.
A charging plaza without a grid connection
EV Rapid Charge
8 outlets. No utility upgrade.
A complete fast-charging plaza in a 40-foot container. A hydrogen fuel cell, a battery buffer and up to eight rapid-charge outlets, installed on a level concrete pad.
Up to 640 kWFuel cell

~20 minTypical charge
500 kgHydrogen at 700 bar
Fed straight to the chargers.
Four dual-port rapid DC dispensers rated 150–400 kW, wired directly to the container. No switchgear building, no trench back to a substation.
About 20 minutes later, gone.
Up to eight outlets serve four vehicles at once. A typical charge takes around 20 minutes, limited by the vehicle, not the plaza.
The interconnect problem, solved on site
A full charging plaza, without the utility upgrade.
A row of DC fast chargers is one of the heaviest loads a commercial site can ask for, and the service upgrade to feed it runs on the utility's schedule, not yours.
EV Rapid Charge makes that power on the pad instead. A hydrogen fuel cell generates it, a battery buffer carries the charging surges, and the only site work is a level concrete pad with delivery access.
What lands on your lot
Eight outlets. Zero grid.
Set your fleet's daily charging and watch the plaza work. The plan shows a representative layout on a level concrete pad.

Estimate only. Uses figures from this page: four vehicles charging at once, about 20 min per session, a fuel cell up to 640 kW and 500 kg of hydrogen on board. Hydrogen use follows the Rebelle Rally field record, roughly 800 kg for about 12,000 kWh delivered. An engineer sizes the real plaza.
Operating modes
Three ways to run the same pad.
Add capacity beyond the feeder
Where utility service exists, the system works alongside it. Hydrogen and the battery buffer supply the rapid-charging load the existing connection was never sized to carry.
A plaza with no interconnect
Every kilowatt is generated on the pad from delivered hydrogen. Fleet yards, rural corridors and sites the grid hasn't reached get fast charging without waiting for it.
Backup for the host facility
Between charge sessions, the same fuel cell and battery stand behind the host site as a ready-made emergency supply. One asset earning its pad two ways.

The charging record
The same charging hardware, already proven off-grid.
Before it was a stationary plaza, this rapid-charging architecture ran for years on our mobile fleet: in deserts, at race events and in front of the automotive press.

Rebelle Rally
Official power partner since 2021. Across the 2021 to 2023 rallies, roughly 800 kg of hydrogen fed DC fast chargers in the Nevada and California desert, with no grid within reach.
14 chargers
King of the Hammers
In 2024, four Level 3 rapid chargers and ten Level 2 chargers ran on hydrogen and solar at one of the harshest off-road events in North America.
13 EVs
MotorTrend
An RI mobile charging trailer charged 13 EVs during 2022 SUV of the Year testing, and RI charging supported the Performance Vehicle of the Year program.
Hundreds
GM HYDROTEC
Through the HYDROTEC partnership, GM and Renewable Innovations announced the goal of deploying hundreds of hydrogen-powered rapid chargers nationwide.
There is no additional utility power required. You will be up and running with up to eight rapid EV charge outlets.
