Latest Joule Case Patent Shows Path to Grid-Independent EV Charging, Future of Fuel Stations

BOISE, Idaho - March 16, 2022 - PRLog -- The latest patent granted to Joule Case gives fuel station operators, electric fleet managers and electric vehicle advocates a glimpse of an emission-free, grid independent future for EV charging and more.

Reflecting its leadership and expertise in the flexible, scalable and emission-free portable power space, Joule Case was recently granted US Patent #20210111582A1 (https://patents.google.com/patent/US20210111582A1/) for its "Modularized ESS And Power Distribution System." The patent details the structure of a long-duration power supply that connects modular energy-storage systems (ESS) with a power control system that can load balance and provide a DC-AC inverter, transformer and frequency regulator.

This creates a fully functional energy supply which can be mobilized to meet growing energy needs such as Level 3 EV chargers at fuel stations, range extenders for mobile fleets and remote power demands for live events or other grid-independent energy needs.

"We are seeing an entire automotive industry lean into the future with electric vehicles and our grids are not prepared, but we are," said Alex Livingston, President, Joule Case. "This patent allows us to create and deploy trailer-sized energy storage systems that can make fuel stations their own self-contained utility with solar or other sources, even with the massive power demands of Level 3 charging. That provides a distinct competitive advantage for this and countless other uses as grids reach capacity and electricity prices continue to rise."

The most significant opportunity created by the "Modularized ESS And Power Distribution System" patent relates to transporting energy storage, due to current Department of Transportation regulations. By modifying a trailer-sized battery to a functional energy system, similar to how EVs are classified today, Joule Case is able to transport emission-free energy directly to where it is needed, when it is needed.

Similar to existing Joule Case energy systems, this would accommodate any energy input including wind, solar, grid-based power and everything in between.

Joule Case's latest patent strengthens its rapidly expanding portfolio, which includes two energy-focused patents granted over the past 14 months specific to Joule Case and another pending, beyond numerous patents held by its leadership team. The company's previous patent focused on connecting and stacking power cells together to meet energy needs without interruption.

The latest patent follows an eventful year in developing new products, powering live events and evolving the company. Joule Case's announced the launch of its new Sigma product line at CES (https://apnews.com/press-release/business-wire/business-b...) earlier this year. For the first time ever, large parts of Camp EDC were powered by clean, quiet and emission-free electricity via Joule Case (https://youtu.be/EvC0N4OoaUk) at the EDC Vegas festival in October, 2021. Joule Case also powered food trucks, multiple stages and several other power applications at Treefort MusicFest (https://youtu.be/Gt_SXlaQKj4) in September, 2021. Joule Casealso launched a Wefunder campaign (https://wefunder.com/joule-case) to further scale up to meet the demand for clean, safe, cost-efficient renewable power in the fast-growing event-power industry.
