EP Tender is a range extender for electric vehicles unlocking affordable and convenient long-distance travel. Customers can rent a light trailer on-demand, immediately adding a further 60 kWh capacity to their vehicle, without impacting its payload.
A Tender is a power bank, which is mounted on a small trailer, rented on demand and attached to EVs for long-distance trips. It’s self-mating with the car, self-steering when backing, and carries 60 kWh energy. Seamlessly swapping a 60 kWh Tender when depleted takes 2’: 1.8MW equivalent charging, and faster and more convenient than refuelling a car! When stationary, the Tenders are aggregated to form a virtual power plant, contributing to the increase of renewable electricity production.
