The Problem
Traditional dock based, fast charging stations weigh several thousand pounds and require expensive re-engineering of old docks
The best docks for fast charging are typically located in the deepest part of the marina
Deep water docks are cost prohibitive because they are usually furthest away from utility company transformers on land
Transformer connections are necessary for sufficient fast charging power
The Solution
A similar concept to Buoy Charge has been developed in Europe that provides slow charging from a buoy connected to shore power on a dock, as seen in the pictures above
Buoy Charge will provide fast charging from underwater cables connected to local utility company transformers
Buoy Charge can be installed more easily and cheaper than traditional fast charging stations on docks, with the flexibility to move to multiple deep water locations
