ElectricFish is a patented climatetech company dedicated to bringing energy resilience to electric transportation. Their energy storage solution enables fast deployment of DC fast chargers (up to 350 kW) in difficult to deploy locations for consumers and fleets. Their approach downsizes both the interconnection and permitting process, and is designed as a resilience-first solution to maximize EV charging uptime, site host activities, and grid operations. At scale, the network of energy storage will serve as a decentralized ‘utility of the future’ prepared to meet the energy needs of EVs and the grid. ElectricFish was accepted into the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator, the Joules Accelerator, and Scale for Climatetech, and co-founders Folasade Ayoola and Anurag Kamal were featured in Forbes 30 Under 30.
