eMotorWerks is bringing its JuiceNet intelligent EV charging software platform to EO Charging as part of a partnership to develop the new EO Mini Pro EVSE for UK and European customers.
Enel X’s eMotorWerks has successfully deployed a 30 megawatt / 70 megawatt-hour virtual energy storage battery load comprised of distributed electric vehicle charging loads on the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) markets. The new offering bundles together the electricity demand of thousands of plug-in vehicle drivers and pays drivers for … [continued]
Google is well known for big brands and great design, which made the acquisition of leading intelligent thermostat company Nest an obvious target. After the acquisition, the two companies set out to join forces, looking for opportunities to leverage each other as a platform to do more, together.
Honda, SCE, and eMotorWerks are teaming up to offer Honda Fit EV drivers bonuses to charge their cars at the best possible time when electricity prices are lowest and the availability of renewable energy is the highest.
eMotorWerks has announced a new cloud based charging network for fleet owners and property managers that works with local utility companies to balance the grid and lower the cost of charging.
The early adopters of plug-in vehicles cut the path for all later adopters. Many early plug-in vehicle drivers built their own plug-in vehicles. Others worked with manufacturers to show their support for plug-in vehicles and, later, to get in line for groundbreaking plug-ins like the GM EV1 and the Nissan LEAF.
The public discussion about plug-in vehicle charging often focuses on the installation, quantity, distribution and speed of public chargers, but the data reveal that the vast majority of charging happens at home. The challenges with residential charging are best split two ways – renting vs owning and single-family homes vs multi-family housing.
The significant, constant usage of electricity from a single source like a plug-in vehicle has opened up a new market for grid-scale demand management. Grid-scale demand response bundles charging plug-in vehicles together into a single demand unit when they are using smart chargers connected to a utility. The utility can then have the charging speed throttled up and down to balance the electricity load on the grid.
In parallel to the increased adoption of plug-in vehicles, innovation is taking root with EV charging points — aka electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) — as consumers look for options that best serve their new vehicles.
In part 1 of this Chanje electric van review, we looked at the Chanje electric van’s background and some of its features. In this second part, we take a look at what Chanje brings to the table for fleet owners if they turn from simple vehicles operators to energy management and vehicle coordination. Chanje is a game changer, and this time, pun intended.
