This innovative system repurposes EV batteries with remaining capacity to boost the efficiency of high-speed charging stations. Retaining over 80% of their original storage capability, the batteries are re-engineered to manage peak demand, reduce grid strain, and optimise energy use during high-demand periods. The modular, scalable solution helps prevent overloads, cuts operational costs, and allows stations to benefit from flexible energy rates. By extending battery life and avoiding costly grid upgrades, YUZZ supports the circular economy and advances the energy transition
I am an engineer specializing in new business development and innovation project management within the energy sector. During my university studies, I participated in R&D projects focused on smart grids and artificial intelligence in the solar industry, collaborating with high-profile researchers. I graduated from an entrepreneurship track, integrating scientific skills and technology transfer capabilities. My experience spans electromobility, battery storage systems, and science-based entrepreneurship. Committed to advancing the energy transition, I focus on creating innovative business models, developing new technologies, and establishing ventures that generate social, environmental, and economic impact.more
