PosiCharge parent company, AeroVironment, was founded in 1971 with the vision to help business and government recognize and meet their environmental and energy objectives. The company has since
advanced, turning its innovative systems into large, breakthrough commercial ventures. Founder Dr. Paul MacCready is recognized by Time Magazine as "One of the Greatest Minds of the 20th Century."
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers named him "Engineer of the Century." And Aviation Week has honored him with their "Aerospace Laureate" title. Dr. MacCready's ingenious thinking and
innovative problem-solving approach continues to inspire the culture of AeroVironment's research, manufacturing and business management divisions.
AeroVironment has supported and joined with science and industry leaders for decades, counting among its partners and customers luminaries like Delco-Remy, General Motors, NASA, Delphi, Ford and
every branch of the U.S. military.
Together, they have pioneered high-energy electric drive systems that unleash the potential of electric power. AeroVironment's prototype electric car paved the way for the electric and hybrid cars on the road today. AeroVironment's micro-electronic technology led to the U.S. military's first "backpackable" and most frequently deployed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). And NASA's multi-month duration 246-foot wingspan Helios, and Pathfinder, the altitude record holder...
Such was the case six years ago, when their world-class battery laboratory developed a unique charging technology that would make electric vehicles practical to commuters. Now called PosiCharge,
this revolutionary fast charging energy management system is so powerful and advanced it keeps industrial electric trucks running through multiple shifts using a single battery while integrated
communications protect batteries from heat and degradation.
