ev.energy partners with Smartenit to launch low-cost, smart EV charging cable to promote equitable access
PALO ALTO, Calif. and IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ev.energy, a global provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging software, has partnered with Smartenit, a holistic IoT solutions manufacturer, to bring to market a low-cost, smart EV charging cable that will open up low-cost, grid-optimized, at-home charging to EV drivers, particularly residents of apartment buildings or multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) who lack their own dedicated EV charging stations.
- As EV adoption takes off following the extension of the EV tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act, only 22% of U.S. vehicle owners report having access to EV charging at home.
- The ev.energy-Smartenit solution solves both of these critical equity challenges around EV charging.
- These CCAs MCE and Silicon Valley Clean Energy plan to offer full or partial rebates for the EV charging cable to income-qualifying customers.
- "Working together with ev.energy, our solution provides access to EV charging regardless of vehicle or charger availability."
