Reliable Power for Cold-Weather EV Charging

HydroCharge™ delivers dependable, zero-emission power to keep EV fleets running in extreme cold when traditional infrastructure falls short.

As organizations work toward zero-emissions, the need for reliable, flexible power is growing, especially in cold climates where traditional infrastructure and diesel generators can present challenges. Nuvera® HydroCharge™, our hydrogen-powered DC fast charger and AC genset, is designed to meet these challenges, delivering consistent performance and maintaining the highest safety standards.

This capability was put to the test during a multi-day hydrogen power trial conducted by the Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA), where HydroCharge demonstrated its robust design and readiness in one of the most demanding and highly regulated environments.

Watch the trial overview below.

Exploring Hydrogen Power for Airport Operations

Airports are complex environments, with both airside and groundside operations relying on a wide range of equipment and vehicles. As part of its long-term sustainability strategy, GTAA is evaluating technologies that can help reduce emissions and maintain operational reliability.

HydroCharge stands out as a promising solution, offering:

• Zero-emission electricity generation Highly mobile, clean electric power for DC-fast charging and generator applications
• Fast refueling to minimize downtime versus battery-only systems
• Flexible deployment where grid power may be limited
• Proven safety compliance, suitable for highly regulated facilities like airports

To better evaluate hydrogen's role in airport operations, GTAA conducted a four-day Hydrogen Hardstand Trial focused on generator performance, user experience, and system efficiency.

Proven Performance in Real-World Conditions

Over four days of testing, HydroCharge delivered:

• Successful safety validation, including Electrical Safety Authority review
• Consistent power for EV charging at multiple load levels
• Reliable operations in harsh winter conditions, even with reduced hydrogen pressure
• Charging capability for vehicles including the Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevrolet Bolt EV

Why HydroCharge Stands Out

• Airport-Approved Safety: Designed to meet the strict operational and safety standards required in regulated environments
• Winter-Ready Performance: Reliable operation in cold climates where other power solutions may struggle
• Mobile & Refuelable: Easily transported and quickly refueled with hydrogen
• Integrated DC Fast Charging: Built-in charging capability enables direct EV charging without additional equipment
• Zero Emissions: Produces only water vapor at the point of use
• Flexible Deployment: Ideal for airports, construction sites, remote operations, events, and temporary charging installations

Powering the Future of Clean Mobility

As electrification expands into more demanding environments, solutions like HydroCharge provide the flexibility and reliable needed to keep operations running, regardless of weather or infrastructure limitations.
