Go Eve secures £750K to advance its DockChain EV charging technology

Go Eve, a joint spin-out from University College Dublin (UCD) and Imperial College London, has secured £750,000 in funding from Innovate UK and private investors to further develop its electric vehicle (EV) charging technology. The funding will support an 18-month project focused on improving DockChain, the company’s patented technology that enables a single DC fast charger to serve multiple parking bays. Supported by NovaUCD, Go Eve has developed DockChain to help fleet operators expand their EV charging capacity without installing a separate fast charger at every parking bay. The technology allows multiple vehicles to remain plugged in while a compatible charger serves them sequentially, one at a time. This approach can reduce the number of chargers and the electrical infrastructure required, potentially lowering installation costs and accelerating deployment. The new project will focus on developing custom hardware, firmware and software to improve DockChain’s ability to automatical
