ElectricFish Energy has unveiled a new EV charging platform aimed at gas stations. The new Turbo Charge platform includes three integrated components:
- The ElectricFish 400squared is an EV charger with energy storage. Each unit combines a 400 kWh battery with dual 400 kW DC fast charging ports.
- Reef is a real-time charging station management system that gives operators visibility into charging sessions, energy flow and station performance.
- Stargazer, the system’s cloud-based engine, is designed to optimize charging schedules, predict demand, and manage grid services to maximize revenue for site hosts.
“We don’t sell EV chargers or batteries—we sell time and uptime,” said ElectricFish CTO Nelio Batista. “We’ve decoupled charging speed from grid limits by actively managing when energy flows in or out, so fast charging strengthens the grid instead of destabilizing it.”
ElectricFish has several installations already underway in the US. A commercial deployment is now live in Detroit’s Eastern Market district, where ElectricFish provides charging for a logistics hub’s fleet of electric trucks, as well as to the public.
ElectricFish’s battery-supported chargers draw power from their own energy storage systems rather than directly from the grid—they can absorb demand spikes, and can even sell power back to the grid during peak periods. According to the company, its system can deliver 400 kW charging from a 30 kW grid connection, and can be deployed in 4-6 weeks.
Under ElectricFish’s revenue-share program, station owners provide space and a modest electrical connection. ElectricFish covers the hardware and installation and then splits the charging revenue with the host.
“Gas stations are built for short dwell times and high turnover. We designed our new Turbo Charge service to behave like a pump, not a parking space,” said Anurag Kamal, ElectricFish CEO and co-founder. “But the real moat is our software. Our Stargazer engine doesn’t just charge cars. It manages energy flow, predicts demand, and helps utilities stabilize the grid. We’re not a hardware company. We’re an energy platform.”
