Increase charging station utilization

Build an intuitive and driver-centric application experience for finding nearby charging stations, estimating charging times, and effectively planning routes.

  • Eliminate range anxiety by using a vehicle’s SoC to provide accurate recommendations.
  • Use a vehicle’s last known location to optimize route planning.
  • Deliver charging station destinations directly to a vehicle’s navigation system. 

Enroll AC chargers in demand response programs

Enable smart charging capabilities with AC charge points by communicating directly with EVs. Unlock lower charging rates and reward drivers for participating in demand response.

  • Retrieve a battery’s SoC to better optimize charging schedules. 
  • Avoid peak hours and higher charging costs with remote start and stop charge. 
  • Preserve your customer’s battery health by setting EV charge limits. 

Turn EV drivers into happy, returning customers

Attract and engage more customers with solutions that protect driver privacy, unlock charging convenience, improve charger accessibility, and optimize charging costs.

  • Connect to 34 compatible EV brands with one reliable and predictable integration.
  • Ensure data transparency with consent-based data collection.
  • Shorten the EV sign-up and onboarding for higher conversion rates.
