GM will work on portable hydrogen generators to charge electric vehicles

US automaker General Motors is working with Renewable Innovations to develop a hydrogen generator to charge electric vehicles.

The American automaker (GM) has announced an ambitious and innovative project to build portable hydrogen generators in the country to charge electric vehicles. 

And the fact is that GM wants to take its Hydrotec hydrogen fuel cell technology to the next level with Renewable Innovations to create generators and recharge electric vehicle batteries. 

General Motors with ambitious commitments

In this bet, the American giant intends to connect mobile hydrogen-powered power generators (MPGs) to a fast charger called Empower. 

In other words, GM is combining its fuel cell hardware and software with integration and energy management systems to create an Empower generator that will have the ability to quickly charge electric vehicles.

Hydrogen generator for charging electric vehicles

According to GM, these hydrogen generators can be installed in temporary locations without the need for a fixed power grid.

A hydrogen charger can be installed at service stations to help transition to electric vehicle charging.

GM's plan goes further as it also aims for MPGs to also be able to supply military power.

Because he has a prototype on pallets that can power temporary camps. 

Quieter and less heating

This new product that GM is working on is quieter and generates less heat than those running on gas or diesel, which would be a big advantage in the military.

That way the camps wouldn't be so infamous for the usual noise of the generators.

“Our vision for an all-electric future is broader than just passenger cars or even transportation,” said Charlie Freese, CEO of the global business, according to what was posted on the site.

Bet on fast charging

Although General Motors' main bet is that the MPG is an innovative fast-charging mobile charger for electric vehicles.

 In other words, he wants Empower, as the new generator is called, with MPG technology to increase payload capacity and be able to quickly power four vehicles at the same time.

Large load capacity and fast

According to official information, Empower will be able to charge more than 100 vehicles before the generator needs to be recharged. 

“Our experience in power platforms with Ultium automotive architecture, fuel cells and Hydrotec powerplant components can expand energy access for many different industries and users while helping to reduce the emissions often associated with power generation,” Freese said.

For Robert Mount, CEO and co-founder of Renewable Innovations, working on a project with GM is a great opportunity.

GM Innovation and Technology

“As pioneers and innovators in the field of hydrogen energy, Renewable Innovations sees exciting opportunities in the consumer, business, government and industrial markets,” he said. 

“We have seen the need to charge electric vehicles in places where there is no charging facility, and now we are committed to bringing the best technologies and innovative applications to market with GM to accelerate the company's vision of a zero-emissions future. Mount specified.
