In a modern world driven by speed and
innovation today, our time is more precious
than ever before. And when it comes to
charging your EV, every minute counts!
Unfortunately . . .
Public EV Charging SUCKS!!!

“Charging Anxiety” Continues To Be The Stumbling Block
EV can never become mainstream if public charging infrastructure is NOT meeting drivers’ expectation, both in terms of charging speed and accessibility.
- Only 9.4% of public chargers in the U.S. are rated 350kW DC Fast Chargers (DCFC).
- To make matter worst, none of these DCFCs actually deliver up to the rated specs.
- Only 9.4% of public chargers in the U.S. are rated 350kW DC Fast Chargers (DCFC).

The Root Cause: Problems With Grid, Utility Limits And Cost*
Prolonged Charging Time Leads To Further Problems
A Game-changing Solution Poised to Disrupt the EV Charging Infrastructure Market
- 2X faster charging speed than existing DCFC networks.
- Truly green energy source
- 10% to 80% (~200 miles) charged in as little as 10 mins*
Power Grid
- Utilized only when needed
- Used to recharge battery overnight at the lowest cost and avoiding demand charge
Energy Storage

How It Works?
High Voltage High Current Charging Platform
- Supports 200-950V at 500A DC -> DC charging speed up tp 360kW
- Liquid-cooing system instead of Air-cooling System
Up to 6 kWh per minute power output –>
charges selected EVs (70 kWh battery) from
10 to 80% (~200 miles) in ~10 minutes.
Lower operating cost than competitors due
to selfgenerated solar power source and
energy arbitrage strategy.

Competitive Advantage
Cost Competitiveness
- Fixed electricity cost from solar array compared to average 5% annual increase in utility rate
- Significantly lower cost per kWh from the grid due to peak-shaving and energy arbitrage strategy
- Ability to maintain higher gross margin
Superior Charging Speed
- Over 50X faster than home installed Level 2 charger
- 2-5X faster than most competitors’ DCFC including Tesla’s V3 Supercharger
Higher EV Turnover due to XFC
- Equates to higher utilization rate and higher revenue
- Lesser or no waiting time leading to better charging experience, no traffic congestion at the station and greater customers’ satisfaction.
Stable Power Source & First Mover Advantage
- Uninterrupted peak power supply independent from the grid
- Stable power output ensuring optimized charging speed
Total Addressable Market
- The Global EV Charging Infrastructure (EVCI) market size is expected to grow from $25.56B in 2022 to $344.61 by 2032 at a CAGR of ~31%
- The U.S. market size alone was at $2.06B in 2021 and expected to hit $11.32B by 2027
