EnergyHub has announced a significant expansion to its EnergyHub EV platform, integrating with EvoCharge to offer affordable, high-speed Level 2 charging solutions. This strategic partnership underlines a shared commitment to grid resilience and a seamless EV charging experience.
What’s Happening
Industry-leading provider of distributed energy management systems (DERMS), EnergyHub, continues to broaden its electric vehicle (EV) platform, EnergyHub EV, with the integration of EvoCharge. EvoCharge, a trailblazer in Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) and cable management solutions, will enhance EnergyHub’s offering, bringing residential and commercial Level 2 charging equipment that combines swift charging with cost-effectiveness.
Why It Matters
As utilities speed up the deployment of EV flexibility programs, the necessity for diverse customer equipment choice and effortless participation becomes paramount. The convenience and speed of charging, particularly for commercial settings, are essential for a successful EV transition. The integration of EvoCharge into the EnergyHub platform marks a significant step in this direction.
Key Points
Matt Johnson, VP of Business Development at EnergyHub, underscores the significance of the EvoCharge integration, stating it is “an important milestone in our work to build the largest network of EVSE and EV OEM partners in the industry.” Johnson further noted the increasing grid-reliability impact that utility clients are achieving through expanding charging hardware choices for EV drivers.
EnergyHub’s EV platform enables utilities to offer their customers managed charging, behavioral charging, and charging analytics programs. With easy enrollment services and the largest EV-focused partner ecosystem, utilities can now give electrical customers access to EvoCharge Level 2 EV home charging stations and a customer-facing app. Additionally, commercial customers can increase grid-reliability benefits by participating in utility programs using EvoCharge’s scalable solutions.
Bottom Line
Tom Moser, President of EvoCharge, highlights the benefits of this collaboration, emphasizing that “participation in utility flexibility programs saves EV owners money while strengthening the grid.” EvoCharge is devoted to making home charging a seamless experience, and its partnership with EnergyHub will offer customers additional benefits for being part of a smart, connected network of chargers.
EnergyHub has already made considerable strides, with over a million devices under management and a remarkable 200 percent increase in the number of EVs participating in EnergyHub EV programs in 2022 alone. This integration will bolster EnergyHub’s mission to ensure grid resilience as EV adoption continues to grow. EnergyHub, an independent subsidiary of Alarm.com, is on a strategic path to redefine the future of connected property and EV charging experiences.
