Volvo CE and Rolls-Royce develop wood-burning charger for off-grid EVs

Baua Electric

And when you’re tasked with clearing trees, blazing trails, and quite literally laying the foundations of infrastructure and energy grid expansion, there simply isn’t a place to plug in your electric equipment. The resulting heat is converted into electric energy and stored in a connected Battery Storage Module, or BSM.
