Our take
Combustion engines and generators are still the most common way of sourcing off-grid electricity, for example on construction sites or at events. They are, however, highly polluting - and logistically difficult to manage. instragrid are hoping to change that, with their award-winning portable 230V batteries.
The idea is to provide an energy supply that is more portable than generators for the purposes of independent and mobile users, but also one that is free of noise and direct emissions. It’s not a new idea, though. Big-name electrical manufacturers like Bosch and Hyundai have had similar products on the market for a long time - and instragrid does not, currently, seem able to compete on cost.
The key differentiation is that instragrid offer the option of charging your battery with renewable power. This may prove the crucial edge in the competition. Certainly it will have helped instragrid secure the substantial funding they’ve won over recent years, thanks to the booming interest in sustainable tech. Most crucially for instragrid, there’s increasing pressure to switch to renewables across all industries, especially in Europe and the US - and these markets are where instragrid is planning to take its next steps.
