Automotive industry benefits of switching to EVs
Automotive is currently responsible for 15% CO2 globally. Almost 71% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) are coming from heavy-duty and long-haul vehicles. The transition to greener transportation has not happened yet - 98% of commercial vehicles are still powered by diesel.

Why commercial EVs need Autonomous Megawatt Charging

Heavy-duty vehicles require bigger batteries and megawatt (MCS) charging technology.

Heavy-duty vehicles are adopting autonomous driving functionalities faster, particularly in areas with restricted access like airports, underground mines, and warehouses.

The charging system needs to be adaptable: starting with CCS now and upgrading to MCS in the near future.

The charging system has to be able to charge autonomous commercial vehicles.

Mining benefits of switching to EVs
Mining is currently responsible for 4-7 % of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally, largely due to fossil fuel use. Diesel-powered haul truck fleets currently account for up to 80% of a mine’s emissions.

can be saved annually on diesel fuel costs per damper

сost reduction on underground mine ventilation, cooling, and maintenance due to less heat from EVs

emission reduction due to fleet electrification

сost of capital becomes more affordable for mines with higher ESG scores

A health and safety aspect, the clean energy source reduces the risk of noxious fumes exposed to the miners in a confined space.

Qualify for responsible sourcing in their supply chain back to the raw material extraction level.

Comply with increasing pressure from regulators, investors, and customers to decarbonize operations.

Why mining EVs need autonomous megawatt charging?

High-power MCS charging requires special cooled cables, that are heavy, stiff, have low bending radius and high torsion

Drives need to position the vehicles very precisely to allow the charging.

Autonomous charging robot provides convenience & safety safety in harsh mining environments.

Available charging technologies charge long hrs/overnight- not sufficient for 24/7 mine operation schedule.

Trolley lines require high infrastructure costs and lack flexibility.

Mines have various vehicles in operation that requires compatibility with the charging solution.

Why us?

Grivix expertise in the field of megawatt charging has been recognized by various stakeholders and resulted in appointing Grivix as a leader of the CharIN Mining Taskforce – The Taskforce that drives the mining industry toward a sustainable tomorrow.

High infrastructure costs avoided (e.g. vs trolley lines)

Developing interoperability standards will reduce unnecessary duplication in charging infrastructure for mines around the world while enabling increased efficiency and safety.

It is an international taskforce, supported by The International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM). Together, the participants are investing in industry-wide collaboration to address technical bottlenecks around the interoperability of battery-electric charging systems for the roll-out of zero-emission mining vehicles that are expected to begin this decade.
