'ElectricFish' is an energy solutions and climate tech company that has created a new and innovative charger for electric vehicles. The 'ElectricFish EV Charger' is capable of [storing excess renewable energy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastcharging-ev-stations), such as sunlight or wind, when it is not in use charging a vehicle. Due to this technology, ElectricFish chargers can be used in a much wider variety of environments, such as [regular gas stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recharge-by-gelsons).

ElectricFish subverts the need to dig deep into the ground to connect to the core energy grid. The first ElectricFish EV Charger will be installed in Los Angeles. The ingenuity of this charger means it will cost less for a full charge, reducing costs placed on EV owners. Depending on how these chargers perform, they may become a cheaper alternative to [charging an EV at home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-energy-storage-solutions).

ElectricFish hopes to partner with United States-based gas stations to install ElectricFish EV Chargers in a wider area.
