Go Eve’s DockChain has completed all the testing with Intertek for certification by ETL to the UL 2202 standard. High-powered daisy-chaining DC charging is now ready for deployment at scale in North America. Big news from us: our DockChain EV charging system has completed all the testing with Intertek and with ETL for certification by ETL to the UL 2202 standard. This is a key step forward in our market progress in North America. Reaching this milestone wasn't easy. Navigating the North American certification landscape — especially for a brand-new approach to EV charging — was a learning curve for the Go Eve team. Working with Intertek and their ETL certification process has been a real pleasure and we have now completed the final testing for ETL certification to the UL 2202 standard. The UL 2202 standard, designed for DC fast charging equipment, sets a high bar for safety - as do all UL standards. Operating safely must always be central and Intertek's support was vital in helping work through the process. “We knew getting DockChain certified in North America as well as in Europe would be a major undertaking, and it absolutely was,” said Hugh Sheehy, CEO. "While the fundamental principles and underlying requirements are essentially the same, the North American approach to certification is quite different to the one in Europe. Our engineers put in an incredible effort to understand and meet the requirements, often adapting product designs, component supplies, and repeating testing processes so that we could align our product with the requirements of the North American market. Successfully completing all the testing is a testament to their creativity, persistence, and technical expertise." Go Eve would also like to thank Intertek, the certification partner who worked with the team throughout the rigorous testing process, and all their engineers. Now that DockChain has been tested and shown to be compliant with the UL 2202 standard, ETL certification (which should be visible online shortly) will clear the way for deployment at scale across North America, giving fleet operators, property owners, and developers a smarter, a more cost-effective option for delivering high-powered DC charging at scale. Instead of installing multiple expensive chargers, DockChain allows multiple EVs to connect to a single power source in a daisy-chain — making high-volume charging cheaper, faster, and easier. As the world shifts towards electric vehicles, scalable solutions like DockChain will be key to making EV adoption practical for businesses and communities. Go Eve's certified product is a generation 2 design and now available in stock from distribution partners for the US and Canada.

You might have seen recent guff in the press about EVs, EV depreciation, the purchase price of EVs being higher than ICE vehicles, the lack of affordable EVs, etc. This is all noise and confusion that doesn't make the slightest bit of difference to a few fundamental points; EV costs are coming down and will continue to trend down see battery cost forecasts below...this will bring down the cost of all EVs manufacturers are launching more and more affordable EVs Kia's EV3 , the Renault 5 , the Inster , the Dacia , the Citroen , the Alfa Romeo , and on and on...and on EV depreciation is already bouncing as people realize things like "Hey, that's a great price for a heck of a lot of car". "My neighbor's EV is awesome and they love it" Operating costs of EVs are much much much lower than ICE vehicles Lower fuel costs Lower maintenance costs The residual value of petrol cars is going to fall off a cliff in a few years. A tipping point will soon arrive when an ICE car will be as attractive as one driven with coal and steam. new EVs are going to be cheaper than ICE cars soon, which will drive down residuals on older ICE cars second hand EVs are going to be seen as reliable second hand buys, which will drive down residuals on older ICE cars EVs are nicer cars, which will drive down residuals on older ICE cars used ICE cars have a higher potential to be lemons (EV batteries can be checked pretty easily and there's almost nothing else to go seriously wrong), which will drive down residuals on older ICE cars Ask taxi drivers this question..."Have you had any problems with it?" I've been asking that question in every taxi for years. In EVs the answer has always been "No. It's been great", with maybe a comment on "I went through the first set of tires quickly but now I take it easy". That is far from always the answer with petrol or diesel taxis. But, the main thing is that the cost of batteries is still falling. It's been falling and that is continuing. The recent Goldman Sachs review of historical and forecast battery costs tells a straightforward tale.....EVs are going to be cheaper than ICE cars on an unsubsidized basis pretty soon and they'll get cheaper. Ref: Goldman Sachs (link above) That's a heck of a drop from 2023 to 2026. That's what'll be in the market in 18 months. And remember, a lot of EV manufacturers could make profitable cars at the battery prices from 2021 and 2022. And before. ( yes, we're aware that some manufacturers can't....that's irrelevant ) Ref: Goldman Sachs (link above) But - you might ask - shouldn't you wait another couple of years before you buy a new EV? No.....no more than you should wait another couple of years before you buy a new phone. Or than you ever waited before you bought a new car. Next year's car was always better than this year's car. Besides, if you need a new vehicle, the choice is really whether you get an EV or get an ICE vehicle. And that's already a no-brainer unless you live in a remote location AND have no access to a plug. So, if you need a new vehicle, get an EV.

Go Eve Announces European CE Mark for Transformative EV Charging Technology   December 16, 2024 – London, UK & Dublin, Ireland   Go Eve has announced that it has obtained European CE Mark certification for its innovative DockChain charging technology, a major step forward in transforming electric vehicle (EV) charging. This new technology enables rapid, scalable EV charging, addressing two critical challenges in EV adoption; infrastructure efficiency and charging speed.   Traditional fast chargers typically serve only one or two vehicles at a time, making them unsuitable for overnight charging use. Charger blocking, operational inefficiencies, low utilisation, and higher infrastructure costs are also incurred. DockChain disrupts this model by allowing multiple vehicles to connect to a single fast charger through a "daisy chain" of compact charging points. Each vehicle on a chain, charges one at a time, at full power. Intelligent software orchestrates charging sessions based on customizable criteria such as:   ·      First-in, first-served ·      Battery level prioritization ·      Priority parking bays ·      Energy pricing or tariff optimization   A Solution Designed for Scalability and Efficiency   DockChain is ideal for fleet and site operators who need to integrate EV charging into existing parking setups. The modular design allows the system to scale as EV adoption grows, while the source fast charger can be located away from the parking area, saving space and reducing wear and tear.   The latest certified DockChain product offers power ratings between 150 and 400 Amps, enabling charging speeds of up to 320kW for compatible vehicles. Enhanced unit economics and streamlined installation processes position DockChain as a game-changer in fast-charging deployment. The team believes DockChain could eventually render traditional AC charging systems obsolete for many use cases.   Driving Efficiency and Economics in EV Charging   Hugh Sheehy, CEO of Go Eve, emphasized the many benefits of DockChain:       "Scaling EV charging requires more than just hardware. It involves balancing infrastructure costs, grid capacity, energy tariffs, and operational needs. DockChain addresses all these considerations, providing a scalable and cost-effective solution that outperforms traditional systems in many scenarios. In many of those use cases DockChain could even render slow AC charging systems obsolete."   He added:       "We’ve already seen success with DockChain at customer sites across the UK and Ireland, including depots, car rental/ service locations, and office parks. The data from these installs gives us confidence in the broader applicability of our solution in other charging contexts. With CE certification on the new product, we’re ready to deliver DockChain at scale across Europe." He concluded,  “This certification milestone comes as Go Eve prepares for its next funding round in 2025, aimed at accelerating our mission to revolutionise EV charging infrastructure globally.”   A Growing Legacy of Innovation   Go Eve was founded in 2021 as a joint spin-out company of University College Dublin and Imperial College London to commercialise the patented DockChain technology. The firm, with offices at NovaUCD in Dublin, the UK, and in the US, has rapidly advanced EV charging solutions with support from the UK Department for Transport and €3.5 million (£3 million) in seed funding. These supports have enabled the company to develop DockChain (hardware and software) to full production, work with EV charger manufacturers to guarantee compatibility when extending their equipment, and establish its first customer sites.   About Go Eve   Go Eve combines cutting-edge innovation with real-world practicality to tackle the challenges of EV adoption. With DockChain, the company is empowering businesses and public entities to meet the growing demand for fast, efficient, and scalable EV charging solutions.
