The breaking though ZOOZ Power pilot brings Ultra-Fast electric vehicle charging that enables ultra fast EV charging anywhere (even if the grid is weak) it sales of its unique flywheel-based kinetic storage technology and will soon establish five ultra-fast charging stations at commercial, leisure and business sites in Germany.

EV charging solution company ZOOZ  - (means “move” in Hebrew), formerly Chakratech and Afcon Electric Transportation, ,launched a pilot for the deployment of “ultra-fast” electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in places where the electricity infrastructure is unable to provide the typically required high-power capacity. No-battery flywheel technology enables a 15-minute charge even in locations with limited electricity infrastructure. Current Status they are tested and active deployed Kinetic Power Booster systems are in Austria, Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic with several more announced in the USA and Germany. The challenge of the Israeli start company is to be fast EV charging requires a lot of power from the grid which is mostly not available where needed.




The Solution is adding a local power booster enables ultra-fast EV charging. ZOOZ Power has developed a unique, economic and sustainable kinetic power booster technology, which enables unlimited high-power charge cycles, patented flywheel booster technology, the ZOOZTER 100, presents the following competitive advantages compared to regular, chemical Li-Ion batteries and patented flywheel booster technology, the ZOOZTER 100, presents the following competitive advantages compared to regular, chemical Li-Ion batteries, flywheels each weigh about half a ton and rotate 17,000 revolutions per minute, enabling 15-minute charging of electric vehicles even in locations with limited electricity infrastructure.

Product Offering a Kinetic Technology that can be deployed either as an enabling and add on to existing chargers or can recommend industry standard chargers. In addition to enable fast EV charging, Chakratec’s technology is optimal applied in numerous multi cycle applications, such as grid stabilization, peak shaving and others which enables unlimited high-power charge cycles without degradation over the lifetime of 20 years. “We are in the advanced stages of the product’s licensing processes according to European standards, and with the completion of the tests we intend to deliver the first systems this year,” said Boaz Weiser, CEO of the Lod-based company.

“The agreements in Germany for the establishment of ultra-fast charging facilities based on our new product are of great importance to us, both as a first penetration with the unique product into the European market and also in terms of recognition of the advanced technology we have developed,” he said to Israel21c.

An Israeli company that has developed a fast electric vehicle (EV) charging system based on kinetic flywheel technology is pressing ahead with the first commercial deals in Europe, the US, and Israel.

The system, developed by Zooz Power, formerly known as Chakratec (zooz means “move” in Hebrew), takes energy from the grid to spin eight steel wheels per unit, 17,000 times per minute. Each wheel weighs around half a ton. The process converts electrical energy into kinetic energy. When a vehicle comes to recharge, the spinning is slowed down to change that kinetic energy back into electrical energy and to flush it into the vehicle’s battery at such an intensity that the battery fully recharges in around 15 minutes.

Zooz Power CEO Boaz Weizer likened the intense recharging boost delivered by the company’s system to flushing a toilet to release lots of water quickly. By using physics rather than chemistry, the kinetic recharger avoids environmental issues such as massive water use and pollution associated with lithium extraction. Lithium, a mineral, is used for lithium-ion batteries, the most common storage vessel today.

According to Time Of Israel,  to one sustainability analyst, the Zooz Power system’s carbon footprint, from production and supply chains through operation and recycling or landfill burial, produces 23 times less carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per kilowatt hour (kWh) than a lithium-ion battery – 0.0027 kilograms of CO₂ equivalent compared to 0.0620 kilograms for the battery.

Five Zooster-100 units already being installed at five commercial and leisure locations in Germany – two near Frankfurt; two in Herrenberg, some 30 kilometers (18.5 miles) south of Stuttgart; and a fifth at a location yet to be determined. They will be funded by a German investment company that thinks there are more profits to be made by selling the electricity from these units than from solar power installations.
