SMARTER EV SERVICING - Those looking for a future proofed infrastructure for renewably sourced energy for electric vehicles, may want to consider the new breed of self driving cars and taxis, that will benefit from automated recharging if they are to be fully autonomous in operation - most especially unmanned robotic taxis, (Google, Amazon, Ebay, UPS, DHL) delivery vans, and other freight vehicles. SmartNet™ offers automated cartridge exchange refuelling and human connected (nozzle) hydrogen and (plug-in) charging for EVs, with load levelling for TSOs & DSOs. All at the same service station, unlike BP, Shell and most supermarket facilities - at present.
