This funding round will enable ev.energy to expand its global operations.
The company’s end-to-end software platform wirelessly connects to a range of electric vehicles and chargers to intelligently manage EV charging while working with utilities to provide cash back to customers for charging at grid-friendly times.
&#8220;In the next few years, total EV demand in most developed countries will surpass the energy output of even the largest power plants – for example, the behemoth Palo Verde Generating Station in the US. As more EVs come online, optimized charging and load maintenance will remain critical tools for ensuring grid stability. By being able to shape and control EV load, ev.energy can both benefit the grid and help drivers to charge using the greenest and cheapest energy.&#8221; Nick Woolley, the CEO of ev.energy, remarked.
