| Area of Interest 3 | It’s Electric is electric vehicle (EV) charging purpose-built for cities, with a mission to unlock access to clean vehicles for all urban drivers. Launched in 2021, It's Electric is solving an urgent challenge: governments are leading the way in setting policy targets to mandate a transition to EVs, but no scalable charging solutions exist for the millions of drivers who don’t have access to a private driveway or garage. If we want all drivers to have access to electric mobility, we must provide them with convenient and affordable public charging options where they already park: the curb.
It's Electric is addressing this challenge by harnessing spare electrical capacity from nearby buildings to deploy low-footprint curbside Level-2 EV chargers. We create a behind-the-meter connection to property owners’ electrical panels to tap this excess capacity, thereby avoiding the barrier of grid limitations and the costly and time-consuming process of creating a new utility interconnection. In return for hosting an It's Electric charger, host properties receive a share of the charger’s topline revenue, creating a new passive income stream for them while making it easier for everyone in their community to charge an EV.
Because of these significant savings, we can take on the capital and installation costs ourselves, without requiring contributions from our municipal partners or our host properties. Furthermore, we can afford to deploy in areas that don’t yet have high rates of EV ownership yet – where we know utilization will initially be low – thus breaking the chicken-or-the-egg cycle that is currently stifling EV adoption in urban areas.
Additionally, It’s Electric chargers are the first in North America to feature a bring-your-own charging cord configuration. Detachable cords not only streamline the charger’s profile; they reduce the maintenance required from damaged cords or cord management components, which are the most commonly broken element of a public charger. This configuration is predominant in European cities, and is rapidly expanding as these countries electrify, providing a successful precedent for how urban curbside charging can be accomplished in the U.S. It's Electric received UL certification for our charger in February 2024. |

| AOI3 | The mission of Electrovia is to revolutionize transportation by seamlessly integrating dynamic wireless charging technology and transforming the nation's highways into charging infrastructure. Our initial focus is on medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles, as significant progress is needed to usher these trucks into the electric era. Notably, consumer vehicles have made significant strides in electrification, largely attributed to market pioneers who paved the way with efficient DC fast charging solutions.
We believe that a similar effort is required to bring medium and heavy-duty trucking charging infrastructure to the forefront. However, the challenges of bringing charging infrastructure to charging sites are more substantial, given the three to four times the power required for these vehicles. To address this, Electrovia aims to provide efficient dynamic wireless charging solutions, enabling trucks to charge while driving.
At Electrovia, we're not just whiteboard theoretical individuals; we are a highly skilled team with real-world experience in roadway infrastructure, high power electronics, and wireless power transfer. Electrovia stands as the first American company dedicated to bringing wireless charging to American highways - we look forward to bringing our vision to the American people.
Our initial product offering consists of "Dynamic Charging Corridors," resulting in net-zero battery depletion. Picture a world where a regional freight truck departs from a distribution center with a 73% battery charge. As the truck journeys along the corridor, it passes through "Booster Stations" that wirelessly transmit power to the vehicle. Upon exiting the miles-long Charging Corridor, the vehicle still retains a 73% battery charge. This significantly extends the electric truck's range, reducing the requirement for extensive charging infrastructure at centralized yards, onboard battery size, and ultimately lowering the purchase cost for fleet operators.
For this FOA, we are submitting a dynamic wireless power demonstration in partnership with ORNL and many other partners. We'd love to have any other energy, or vehicle partners onboard to complete this demonstration! Looking forward to connecting. |

Hydrogen and Fuel Cells
| Hydrogen-Powered UAS for Last Mile Delivary | In 2019, HevenDrones was born with a clear vision: To unlock the immense potential of the drone economy. Drones have the power to transform how we work and live – but significant limitations inherent in lithium-ion batteries have hindered their full potential, impacting factors like payload capacity, flight distance, and endurance.
We embarked on an innovation journey, exploring hydrogen as a game-changing fuel source for drones. Hydrogen, with its incredible potential to maximize endurance and performance, offered the solution to these limitations. Not only does hydrogen enhance drone capabilities, but it also minimizes the carbon footprint of this technology and ensures a secure and readily available energy supply.
We’ve found success with our foundational product, the H100, now optimized for superior lift capabilities. We've now designed the first-ever drones optimized for hydrogen's specific flight profile. Our two groundbreaking models, the H2D200 and the H2D250, are engineered around hydrogen, enabling endurance, performance, and mission reliability.
Hydrogen has expanded the boundaries of what drones can achieve. The H2D200, tailored for smaller payloads of up to 4.5kg, can cover distances of up to 510 kilometers and remain airborne for up to 4 hours. Meanwhile, the H2D250, designed for larger payloads of up to 9.8kg, can soar up to 750 kilometers and operate for an impressive 8 hours. Through our advancements in engineering, both platforms reach peak endurance without sacrificing precise hovering capabilities.
HevenDrones is at the forefront of the hydrogen-powered drone revolution. Our mission is to redefine the possibilities of drone technology while minimizing environmental impact. We invite you to be part of this exciting journey, where innovation knows no bounds, and the sky is not the limit—it's just the beginning. |

| ZEB Operator Training | FAAC Incorporated is the leading provider for simulation training and research solutions. For over 50 years, FAAC has been at the forefront of delivering true-to-life training experiences for various commercial, research, and military customers. We have more than 280 workers spread across five divisions. As the world's first battery electric bus (BEB) simulator manufacturer, we have been ready for fleets to transition and offer the highest fidelity training simulator. We understand operator and first responder training and have a deep history in both markets.
An operator's driving behavior can significantly influence the outcome of Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) deployments. Efficient driving styles significantly improve range, and familiarity with onboard systems and indicators improves safety for passengers and other road users. Regardless of previous experience with an internal combustion-powered bus, training drivers on ZEBs improves these outcomes within ZEB deployments. However, performing operator training in an actual vehicle takes buses out of revenue service, utilizes an expensive training tool, and puts other road users at greater risk during training exercises. A training simulator is an ideal learning space for operators to acclimate to this new technology. |
