Moixa

Honda is to launch an “energy management solutions” business in partnership with UK-based battery tech company Moixa.

The partnership will utilise Moixa’s ‘GridShare’ batteries aggregator technology to “create additional value for electric vehicle (EV) customers and power system operators”.

Honda announced at this week’s Geneva Motor Show that it has also increased its ambitions in the transition toward EVs— and now intends to move 100% of its sales to electrified powertrains by 2025, up from the goal of two-thirds that was announced in 2017.

The Cleantech Group has unveiled its Global Cleantech 100 list for 2019— the 10th iteration of the list— which includes more than 10 energy storage companies.

The annual Cleantech 100— which will be formally announced at the company’s (17th) annual Cleantech Forum San Francisco— is “a list of private companies with the highest potential to make the most significant market impact within a 5-10 year timeframe”.

UK-based residential energy storage firm Moixa is among those listed, following the firm’s expansion into the Japanese market in October 2018— where it its GridShare software alongside partners Itochu and Trende.
