Compatibility and Accessibility

The 500 kW Ultra Rapid EV Charging Station at Hotel ICON is engineered for broad compatibility, supporting most electric vehicles. This ensures seamless charging access for an array of drivers, whether they are local guests or travelers coming southbound from Mainland China.

Patented Innovation in Battery Safety

Beyond speed and user convenience, the charging installation features a patented machine learning system specifically designed for EV battery fault detection. This innovation addresses several key challenges within the industry:

• Overcoming Data Limitations: Typically, sensitive battery fault data is privately held, which restricts diversity in training datasets. The new system addresses this barrier by enabling more representative machine learning.

• Enhancing Accuracy via Collaboration: Utilizing a heterogeneous federated learning approach, the system allows multiple parties to collaborate and improve detection accuracy, all while maintaining data privacy by not sharing local data directly.

• Real-Time Application: The system generates optimized, local detection models that can perform real-time fault detection on user devices, ensuring prompt identification of any battery issues. This patented framework ensures that EV batteries are monitored with greater effectiveness, significantly enhancing safety and supporting the broader transition to sustainable energy.

Advancing Sustainable Hospitality in Hong Kong

The deployment of the 500kW Ultra Rapid EV Charging technology underscores Hotel ICON’s commitment to both sustainability and innovation. By merging rapid charging capabilities with advanced safety features, the hotel aims to deliver not only unmatched convenience but also peace of mind to its guests. This initiative also showcases PolyU’s pioneering technology, positioning Hotel ICON as a hub for innovation and excellence in the hospitality sector.

As Hong Kong continues to advance toward smart mobility, Hotel ICON is proud to be the first hotel in the city to support the flow of southbound tourism and to contribute to a greener, safer future for travel through its adoption of ultra rapid EV charging solutions.
