Electric Fish
Physical AI
US maker of battery-integrated EV fast chargers that decouple charging speed from grid limits.
ElectricFish builds battery-integrated EV fast-charging systems that decouple charging speed from grid capacity. Its flagship 400squared(TM) unit combines a 400 kWh battery with dual 400 kW fast-charging ports, so a site can offer high-speed charging from a minimal existing grid connection - avoiding costly trenching and grid upgrades (claimed $100-300K and 1-2 years saved). The ecosystem includes Reef(R) (a charging-station management system) and Stargazer(R) (an AI engine optimizing demand, energy and grid services). ElectricFish pitches itself as selling 'time and uptime', with each station able to absorb demand spikes and sell power back during peak. Founded in 2019, it is backed by investors and government agencies and targets gas stations and other site hosts. (Company/press-reported facts.)
