- DockChain delivers 1.1 MWh in a single office day at SAP Dublin. More charging for less.
Dublin, Ireland — Go Eve’s DockChain technology has achieved a major real-world milestone at SAP’s Dublin office campus, delivering more than 1.1 megawatt-hours of energy in a single office day using just one DC charger capped at 100 kW. With 10 DockChain-connected parking bays, the system consistently charges around 30 electric vehicles per day, all without requiring additional grid capacity or adding complexity for drivers or site operators. This performance demonstrates DockChain’s unique ability to unlock high-power, multi-bay charging in environments where grid capacity and space are limited. Breakthrough utilisation that traditional charging can’t match Reaching this level of throughput in an office setting is extremely difficult for conventional charging solutions: AC chargers are too slow to deliver meaningful daily energy volume. Multiple standalone DC chargers require significant grid upgrades, large capital outlays, and still leave chargers idle for long periods. DockChain overcomes these challenges by extending the power of a single DC charger across multiple parking bays. Its daisy-chain architecture keeps the charger active throughout the day, rotating power intelligently between vehicles to maximise utilisation and energy delivery. At SAP Dublin, this means a single 100 kW connection is doing the work traditionally requiring several high-power chargers and a much larger grid feed. Designed for real-world office and fleet needs SAP’s Dublin campus represents the kind of site DockChain was engineered for: high EV adoption, limited grid capacity, and the need to support many drivers throughout the working day. With DockChain, the site delivers: High-power charging across 10 bays from one charger Continuous operation with no user intervention Significantly lower installation cost and grid impact A scalable approach suitable for office campuses, apartment complexes, depots, and fleets Leadership Perspective Hugh Sheehy, CEO of Go Eve, highlighted the significance of the milestone: “Delivering over a megawatt-hour a day from a single 100 kW supply is a perfect illustration of how DockChain transforms the effectiveness of EV charging. This is the kind of utilisation that solves real-world charging problems—whether at offices, depots, apartments, or anywhere parking is limited. DockChain keeps power flowing, keeps drivers happy, and delivers the best ROI in the industry. When you look at ease of use, utilisation, and pure $/kWh cost effectiveness, DockChain isn’t just better—it’s the solution that finally makes high-performance EV charging practical and affordable at scale.” A scalable blueprint for high-performance EV Charging By enabling one DC charger to serve many bays, DockChain delivers: Higher daily energy throughput per charger Lower cost and reduced embodied carbon Minimal operational overhead Better utilisation of the available grid capacity A future-proof model for high-demand, space-constrained environments The SAP Dublin results clearly demonstrate DockChain’s potential to make high-power EV charging more accessible, more efficient, and dramatically more cost-effective for businesses and campuses worldwide. Reliability proven in real world operation DockChain has been operating at SAP’s Dublin campus for more than 18 months. Apart from a brief, site-wide communications interruption affecting the entire estate, the charging system has delivered uninterrupted daily service to employees throughout that period. This performance is a strong testament not only to the robustness and reliability of the DockChain architecture, but also to the Zerova DS unit that provides the core DC charging power.

- DockChain™: A Smarter Architecture for Scalable DC Charging
Why DockChain™ Outperforms Every Other EV Charging Architecture Executive Summary Across the EV industry, people face the same dilemma: They want fast charging in many spaces — not just one or two, or even just in a few. They want fast charging in every space. Traditionally, this has been impossible to achieve without enormous cost or power complexity. DockChain™ changes that. DockChain brings a daisy-chain DC charging architecture that combines the scalability of AC , the speed of DC , and the efficiency of a shared power system . The result is a charging solution that’s faster, more flexible, and significantly more cost-effective than any conventional alternative. When compared with: AC (Level 2) systems Conventional stand-alone DC chargers High-power hub-and-spoke or “satellite” systems DockChain consistently delivers better operational performance , lower installed cost , and greater user satisfaction . 1. The Problem: Speed vs. Coverage Common EV charging trade-offs System Type Pros Cons AC / Level 2 Cheap, simple, many spaces Too slow to be useful much of the time for most users; inefficient grid use Conventional DC Fast, proven Only a few bays; blocked chargers; poor utilization Hub-and-Spoke DC (Satellite systems) More bays (typically up to 8), high throughput Expensive, complex, over-built for most sites Whether the site is a fleet depot, workplace, retail car park , or other public charging location, operators hit the same wall: They can install a few fast chargers , or Many slow ones — but not both affordably. DockChain eliminates that compromise. Plus, because of how it can deliver high power even with few vehicles attached (which AC cannot do) and avoids blocked or idle charger time (which DC cannot do), it delivers significantly more energy than either system can . Delivering kWh and charging vehicles is what an EV Charging system is for. DockChain is just better at it . 2. The DockChain Solution DockChain links multiple parking bays to a single DC charger through a chain of intelligent “Docks” — compact units each containing switching and safety electronics. Vehicles connect to any Dock; charging is managed intelligently in sequence or by software-defined priority. Key principles: One DC source serves many parking spaces Vehicles charge in order of arrival (FIFO) or by configurable logic Each active vehicle receives full DC power when it’s its turn Expansion is simple — just add more Docks to the end of the chain This architecture enables 6–20 + spaces per charger , depending on site power and usage patterns, with no “idle” cables or wasted hardware. 3. Comparative Analysis 3.1 DockChain vs. AC (Level 2) AC is viable when utilization is low or users stay all day or are parking overnight. But once a site aims to electrify more than 8–10 spaces , or expects real turnover, or if rapid turnaround of a vehicle is ever required, AC’s limitations become clear. Advantages of DockChain: Real charging benefit: Users gain meaningful range in 30–40 minutes, not 6–8 hours. Operational value: Fleets can rotate vehicles without slow-charging bottlenecks. Same overnight capability: DockChain handles sequential charging efficiently for overnight fleet charging. Grid utilization: DC link can stay active around the clock, improving ROI on the grid connection. Low marginal cost per bay: Installation cost per additional space falls sharply as chains extend. In short: DockChain makes AC effectively redundant once a site moves beyond a handful of low-use chargers . 3.2 DockChain vs. Conventional DC Conventional DC issues Typically limited to one or two bays per charger Blocked chargers and parking management issues hugely reduce energy delivery High equipment and civils cost per space Insufficient grid power available DockChain advantages Always-available charging: No “blocked” chargers — users plug in anywhere. Fleet simplicity: Reduces need for valet or bay assignment. Flexible scheduling: Same hardware works for daytime opportunity charging and overnight rotation. Lower cost: Fewer chargers, foundations, cables, and grid interfaces. DockChain combines the user simplicity of AC with the speed of DC , but at a fraction of the installed cost of either multiple standalone units or a hub-and-spoke array. 3.3 DockChain vs. Hub-and-Spoke Hub-and-spoke systems use a large central DC power unit that feeds multiple satellite pedestals, each with its own cable. These can deliver high total site power and are suitable for higher intensity applications, but at significant cost and with some operational tradeoffs. Attribute Hub-and-Spoke DockChain Per-bay hardware cost High (multiple satellites, heavy cabling) Low (simple daisy-chain wiring) Expandability Limited; must cable back to hub Simple; add Docks to chain User experience Variable power, unpredictable timing if other vehicles arrive after you Predictable queue and timing Installation cost High; trenching and multi-cable runs Minimal; single cable route Typical bays per charger 6–10 10–16 (scalable to 20 +) Throughput (kWh delivered) Slightly higher in theory Often equal in practice Capex per kW delivered Significantly higher 30–60 % lower Operational truth: Hub-and-spoke can edge DockChain on theoretical total energy throughput, but DockChain generally provides better per-user outcomes, lower cost, and simpler scaling — these can dominate in real-world use. The hub and spoke systems have their application in particular high-intensity applications. 3.4 Simulation vs Hub-and-Spoke: Results To quantify the trade-off, a 10-bay site with one 150 kW charger was modelled in 30 Monte-Carlo runs with random EV arrival times, random arriving SoC, and varied battery sizes and charge curves ( this simulation uses a mix of cars. The simulation can be run with trucks, buses, whatever. ) Mean results (across runs): Metric DockChain Hub-and-Spoke Active-time site power (kW) 133.9 ± 7.0 144.8 ± 4.1 Mean time from arrival → target SoC (min) 71.1 ± 14.9 89.5 ± 24.3 Interpretation: Hub-and-spoke used marginally more of the available power but produced longer average user wait times . DockChain returned vehicles to service sooner, even though total throughput was slightly lower — an important operational difference. With a hub-and-spoke system, later arrivals share the power, slowing down earlier arrivals. The green car is seriously affected. Hub-and-spoke Vs DockChain: Extract from simulation results 5. Expansion and Future-Proofing With DockChain you can; Add bays easily: Extend the chain without re-engineering the site. Flexible sequencing: Software can prioritize vehicles dynamically (FIFO, SoC, or scheduled departure). Upgradeable: Works with today’s chargers, from 50–400 kW; compatible with future ISO 15118 / Plug & Charge and smart-energy integrations. High availability: Central charger can be safely located away from parking-lot hazards. Loss of a delivery cable causes minimal loss of charging deliverability. 6. Applications Sector DockChain Advantage Fleet depots Overnight sequential charging without re-parking; ideal for vans, buses, light and even heavy trucks. Daytime operational charging also, for fast turn around. Retail / destination Faster, fairer customer experience; more flexibility means happier customers, spending more Workplace / office parks High-density DC coverage with minimal disruption Mixed-use developments Flexible deployment; high uptime and simple expansion The user experience is simple to understand, simple to use, and allows site admins complete control over the charging sequence. Whether fleet drivers or members of the public, the UI can be adapted to match. And the back-end admin interface gives complete control. 7. Economic Impact If you're comparing against a typical AC system, DockChain can be slightly more expensive to install, but is often a fraction of the cost per kWh delivered. And that's the key metric. And even looking at the increased cost, it's often a small percentage once you include the cost of installation and civils. If you're comparing against a typical system of one or more normal DC chargers, DockChain can be significantly cheaper, reducing the number of chargers required, reducing the grid connection needed, and hugely reducing the onsite operational support needed to conduct successful fleet charging. Instead of 5 DC chargers, install 1 or 2. Instead of 25 DC chargers install 7 or 8. Instead of having onsite staff dedicated to supporting charging operations, have no-one except the drivers. Instead of having your single charger constantly empty or blocked, have it running at high utilization. And if you're comparing with the hub-and-spoke systems, a typical DockChain installation reduces the cost in a significant : Total system cost per bay: perhaps by 40–60 % Cabling and civils: perhaps by 50 % or more All these savings translate directly into lower cost and higher ROI per kWh delivered and faster payback than any other architecture, DC or AC. 8. Conclusion AC is functionally obsolete for fleet charging and, in reality, in any application where the EV charging infrastructure is supposed to actually charge vehicles rather than merely "ticking a box". AC is functionally useless for in-day charging. DC fast charging is a lot better and is certainly the way to go, but normal DC chargers are operationally limited, energizing too few spaces. This means low utilization, unhappy users, and wasted investment. DC is also often functionally useless for overnight charging. Hub-and-spoke architectures can achieve marginally higher theoretical throughput, but at greater cost and complexity, and often with fewer energized spaces. DockChain™ achieves similar or better operational performance , predictable user outcomes , and dramatically lower total cost of ownership. In almost every real-world application — public or fleet, daytime or overnight — DockChain delivers the right power, to the right vehicles, at the right cost. DockChain™ — Honest EV Charging. Predictable. Scalable. Economical.

- DockChain in public charging - Detroit USA
One of the DockChain systems in the US has been doing public charging for a while now. Our partner, UpTime Charger, installed some of their container-based DockChain systems at the Stellantis CTC in Detroit. That's the Chrysler HQ location. While mostly for staff charging, it's also open to the public and takes credit card payments. It's been running away happily for a while now and has been picking up positive reviews on plugshare.com Our focus at the moment is on fleet charging applications, but DockChain can transform the usability and ease of public charging locations. Eliminate the problem of blocked chargers. Eliminate the problem of an uncertain wait. Go for a coffee....and come back when your car is charged. No need to protect your place if there's a queue for the charger. Just plug in and charge. Even if you do have to wait a bit, you can wait with confidence with an accurate prediction of the charging time. Plus, the charger utilization goes through the roof, which is good for the CPO too.

- DockChain completes testing for ETL certification to UL 2202
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.
