What’s Happening: SWTCH Energy has announced the release of SWTCH Control, an energy management solution that automatically adjusts the energy used by electric vehicle (EV) chargers in real-time based on a building’s energy consumption. The solution allows property owners to safely and efficiently install and manage up to 10 times more EV chargers without incurring a costly infrastructure investment.
Why It Matters: As electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate, the need for ample EV charging options in multi-tenant properties has become a necessity. SWTCH Control provides a solution that helps building owners and managers future-proof their properties while avoiding expensive upgrades.

- Building owners and managers can maximize the number of chargers that can be installed in their buildings safely and efficiently while continuously monitoring the chargers and providing 24/7 technical support.
- SWTCH Control has been used by select buildings across North America and is now available for wider access.
Bottom Line: SWTCH Control helps building owners and managers meet the increasing demand for EV charging in multi-tenant properties. The solution provides unmatched visibility into building electrical loads and available capacity, allowing for safe and efficient installation and management of EV chargers without the need for costly infrastructure investments. With the software’s automated energy management system, building owners and managers can future-proof their properties while ensuring tenant satisfaction and reducing their carbon footprint.
