Why DC Grid

The AC grid is not keeping up

Explosive load growth, long interconnection queues, and increasing delivery cost are slowing down progress of EV adoption and AI-driven datacenter buildout.

State of the grid

Inefficient, increasingly expensive, and unreliable

The AC distribution grid has been a marvelous machine over more than 100 years, driving industrialization and societal progress. But with load growth induced by AI compute and EV adoption at scale in 2024 and beyond, the AC grid is simply not keeping pace. Utility upgrade requests for megawatts of new power take years to fulfill. Wildfires, weather-induced outages, and expensive utility tariffs are making the AC distribution grid less attractive over time.

AC Grid pain points

Outpaced by demand

The EV market continues to grow and the demand for power to support AI is scaling exponentially. The AC grid was not designed to support the immense power demands of modern progress.

Bottleneck to progress

Access to the AC grid has slowed EV charging developments and data center completion to a crawl. In some situations it can take years for local utilities to provide grid access causing massive delays to projects.

Bottleneck to progress

Increasingly expensive

Access to the grid often requires costly utility upgrades and construction making EV charging and data center projects prohibitively expensive.
