Our take
Properly managing electric vehicle charging is critical to a low carbon future. With a growing numbers of EV rolling out over the world, ev.energy is tackling the unique set of pain points that exists for EV users.
The company has created an easy-to-use app to support users with each EV charging session. The app optimises and schedules charging times relative to grid demand, helping EV owners avoid peak tariffs, save money, prevent over-congestion on the grid and use the greenest electricity possible.
Strategic moves, such as its most recent partnership with Sense, moved ev.energy into an even bigger role in the energy transition. By helping utilities see and control more of what's happening in people's homes, the company could make EV charging and other home energy assets a much more useful tool for the grid. The opportunity now is turning that technology into something that can scale, and if ev.energy can track the problem of getting more households involved, then its future could be looking very bright indeed.
