The integration of Fermata Energy’s software with BorgWarner’s
hardware, includes both of their UL certified 60kW and 125kW
chargers. The announcement is a major step towards accelerating the
availability of intelligent bidirectional technology for a much
broader range of medium- and heavy-duty transportation use cases.
It also paves the way for broad use in the North American market by
enabling Fermata Energy’s innovative platform to optimize V2X
bidirectional charging commands with a Combined Charging System
(CCS) communication protocol.
Fermata Energy is actively working with various automotive OEMs
to embed bidirectional charging capabilities, showcasing its
technological prowess and dedication to innovation in the
bidirectional charging market. For example, in November, Fermata
Energy announced a strategic research project with Toyota Motor
North America and San Diego Gas & Electric Company. In 2022,
Nissan approved Fermata Energy’s FE-15 bidirectional charger as the
first ever bidirectional charger for use with the Nissan LEAF in
the U.S. without impacting the vehicle’s battery warranty.
"As two early market leaders in the V2X bidirectional charging
space, we're thrilled to partner with BorgWarner,” said Tony
Posawatz, CEO of Fermata Energy. “The integration of our
technologies not only broadens economic EV accessibility, but it
reinforces our commitment to accelerate a renewable energy
ecosystem."
“BorgWarner is once again proud to partner with Fermata Energy,
supplying our bidirectional EV chargers to this exciting project,”
said Isabelle McKenzie, Vice President of BorgWarner Inc. and
President and GM, Morse Systems. “Developing clean energy
innovations like V2X technology is key to building a sustainable
and climate-resilient future.”
With a history of successful V2X projects over several years
showing considerable economic benefits, Fermata Energy is well
positioned to partner with automotive OEMs in unlocking the greater
asset value of EVs, and ultimately selling more vehicles faster.
Today’s announcement also grants fleet operators access to diverse
value streams across numerous utility service territories to
accelerate the adoption of bidirectional technology and transition
to renewable energy.
