When work is being done off the grid in remote locations, it can be hard to keep construction equipment fueled up – regardless of whether that fuel is liquid or electric. That energy can then be used to charge battery-electric vehicles, construction equipment, and portable power tools throughout the job site. Enter: the BioCharger.
