A wood-burning EV charger? – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

The BioCharger is designed to provide off-grid power from vegetative waste. Then, it converts the residual heat energy into electric energy and stores it in a connected Battery Storage Module. The accompanying charging mechanism allows the stored energy to be used for off-grid EV and machinery charging.
