This enables the cost-effective development of fast-charging stations \u2013 so-called DC charging stations \u2013 for electric vehicles. The charging technology and operating system solution can be deployed modularly as a hardware-software or software-only solution. The software can be updated remotely, and electric vehicles can also feed power back into the grid.

With this motor, a vehicle is expected to be able to travel 20 percent further and require 20 percent smaller batteries for the same range. Furthermore, the motor is expected to require fewer rare earths in production while maintaining the same power output. The startup has already won various awards with its motor \u2013 including the title of &quot;Best Munich Startup&quot; 2023. Now it&#039;s up for the German Innovation Award 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The German Innovation Award is presented jointly by Accenture, EnBW, O2 Telef\u00f3nica, and WirtschaftsWoche magazine. Companies whose innovations are already successful in the market can apply in the categories of startups, medium-sized enterprises, and large corporations. In addition to product innovations, innovative business models, processes, and services, as well as organizational and marketing innovations, are also recognized. Companies headquartered in Germany are eligible to participate. Furthermore, the innovations must already be successful in the market and have been developed primarily in Germany.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two Munich-based startups Ecog and Deepdrive have won the German Innovation Award 2024 in the categories of SMEs and Startups.
