About
ev.energy is a world-leading smart EV charging orchestration platform designed for energy retailers, utilities, community choice aggregators, municipalities, and fleet operators. The platform bridges electric vehicles, home chargers, solar inverters, and batteries into a unified, intelligent energy management system—without vendor lock-in, thanks to open APIs and OCPP compliance. Energy retailers can white-label the experience, owning the customer relationship and brand loyalty while ev.energy handles the technology stack. Key capabilities include dynamic tariff-based charging, solar-smart charging that maximizes self-consumption, Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G/V2X) bidirectional charging support, and EV Virtual Power Plant (VPP) orchestration for demand response in seconds. For fleet managers, ev.energy simplifies usage tracking, streamlines mileage reimbursements, and integrates with energy systems to earn revenue from grid flexibility services. Its open partner ecosystem allows seamless co-innovation with charger manufacturers, solar providers, and energy companies. The platform has demonstrated real-world results: National Grid Massachusetts achieved 15% market penetration in managed charging enrollment, while ANWB grew its customer base by paying EV drivers to charge at optimal grid times. Backed by proven enterprise deployments across Europe and North America, ev.energy turns EV charging from a grid risk into a multi-billion-dollar cost-avoidance and revenue opportunity.
Key Features
- Smart EV Charging Orchestration: Intelligently schedules EV charging based on dynamic tariffs, grid signals, and solar availability to minimize costs and maximize grid stability.
- Open API & OCPP Integration: Connects to a wide range of EV brands, chargers, and solar inverters through open standards, eliminating vendor lock-in and maximizing driver accessibility.
- Vehicle-to-Grid (V2X) Support: Enables bidirectional charging so EVs can export energy back to the grid or home, supporting advanced V2G and VPP use cases.
- White-Label Platform: Energy retailers and utilities can deploy branded smart charging apps, owning the customer relationship while ev.energy powers the underlying technology.
- Fleet & Reimbursement Management: Tracks fleet charging usage, automates mileage reimbursements, and integrates with energy systems to unlock flexibility revenue streams.
Use Cases
- Energy retailers deploying branded smart EV charging apps to grow customer loyalty and monetize grid flexibility.
- Utilities managing EV load through dynamic tariffs and demand response programs to reduce peak grid stress.
- Fleet operators tracking charging usage, automating driver reimbursements, and earning revenue from grid integration.
- Solar energy providers integrating smart EV charging to help customers maximize solar self-consumption.
- Municipalities and cooperatives running community EV charging programs with managed enrollment and grid coordination.
Pros
- Proven at Scale: Deployed globally with major utilities and energy retailers across Europe and North America, with documented case studies showing measurable grid and business outcomes.
- Open Standards & Interoperability: OCPP compliance and open APIs ensure broad compatibility with vehicles, chargers, and third-party energy platforms without lock-in.
- End-to-End DER Orchestration: Manages EVs, solar, and batteries holistically, enabling true smart home energy management beyond just charging.
Cons
- Enterprise-Focused Pricing: No self-serve or transparent public pricing; the platform is primarily targeted at utilities and retailers, requiring a sales demo to get started.
- Not for Individual Consumers Directly: End-users access ev.energy's technology through their energy retailer or utility's branded app, not as a standalone consumer product.
Frequently Asked Questions
What devices does ev.energy integrate with?
ev.energy integrates with a wide range of EV brands, home chargers (via OCPP), and solar inverters. It connects both ends of the charging cable to improve reliability and reduce hardware dependency.
Does ev.energy support bidirectional (V2G) charging?
Yes. ev.energy supports Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and broader V2X use cases, enabling EVs to export energy back to the grid or home. Details are available in their V2X white paper.
Can energy retailers white-label the platform?
Absolutely. ev.energy is designed as a white-label solution — energy retailers own the customer relationship and brand experience while ev.energy handles the underlying smart charging technology.
How does ev.energy help with grid management?
The platform transforms EV fleets into Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) capable of delivering reliable demand response in seconds, helping utilities balance load and reduce grid costs.
Is there a developer API available?
Yes. ev.energy offers e-mobility APIs that allow partners to embed smart charging capabilities into their own home energy apps. Documentation is available through their developer portal.
