Go Eve, a joint spin-out from University College Dublin and Imperial College London supported by NovaUCD, secured £750,000 (~$0.9M) from Innovate UK via its Growth Catalyst, Investor Partnerships programme and undisclosed private investors for an 18-month project; the announcement does not characterize the round as a first or follow-on and discloses no revenue, client, pipeline or employee count metrics.
The funding will be led by its Wolverhampton engineering team to develop custom hardware, firmware and software for its patented DockChain technology, which allows a single DC fast charger to sequentially serve multiple parking bays without physical disconnection, to improve automatic start/stop/restart reliability and to explore bidirectional charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services.
The company targets a production-ready DockChain in 2027, with upgrades for existing units, and is seeking fleet operators with limited charging capacity or V2G potential to trial the system.
