About Hypervolt Limited

Hypervolt is at the forefront of the electric vehicle charging revolution, dedicated to providing innovative and reliable EV charging solutions.

UltraGrid

UltraGrid is the core engine behind Hypervolt's applications. It features a soft real-time mechanism for controlling and monitoring distributed energy assets, streaming over 100,000 events per day from each connected node on the grid—all at incredibly low operating costs.

Designed for sub-second, multi-gigawatt grid-balancing, UltraGrid is built to be a critical component of a nation's energy security, boasting sub-50ms P95 and intra-system transit times with a P99 of under 6 milliseconds. Its core is deeply rooted in performance engineering : every thread, every byte allocated, and every shred of memory not garbage collected on time is accounted for.
