Despite the rapid proliferation of EVs, range anxiety and slow charging rates remain the most significant obstacles to the global adoption of EVs. To overcome these obstacles, UTEV is developing fast and smart charging solutions that enable shorter charging times and widespread charging infrastructure. A primary focus of UTEV is to facilitate a ubiquitous charging network that is comprised of on-board, off-board, wireless, and battery-assisted stationary chargers that can quickly and conveniently alleviate range anxiety of EV owners cost-effectively.
