ev.energy joins forces with Maxeon Solar Technologies, to revolutionise the future of EV charging
Leading electric vehicle (EV) smart charging provider, ev.energy, has joined forces with global solar innovation leader, Maxeon Solar Technologies, to revolutionise the future of EV charging. The strategic partnership will drive the roll-out of EV smart and solar charging solutions across EMEA.
Through this collaboration, ev.energy will become one of Maxeon Solar Technologies’ global SunPower One ecosystem partners for EV Solar and Smart Charging. This integration will empower customers with a combined smart charging and solar charging solution that will help drive a more sustainable and cost-effective way for EV drivers to recharge.
Maxeon Solar Technologies has partnered with ev.energy to provide a best-in-class smart and solar EV charging experience. Maxeon’s customers will have access to ev.energy’s world-leading EV smart charging solar functionality straight out of the box inside the SunPower One ecosystem.
The two companies have taken an open collaboration approach to software collaboration, allowing SunPower One users to easily log in to the ev.energy app with their Maxeon account using a Single-Sign-On login with their SunPower One credentials. With ev.energy’s SOLAR solution, EV drivers can use their excess Solar power to charge their car (Solar Only mode), or use the combination of excess solar plus grid energy to power their car, ensuring the cheapest, greenest charge every time (Solar Smart mode).
“We are thrilled to partner with Maxeon Solar Technologies to bring our advanced EV smart charging solutions to customers worldwide”, said Aaron Sweet, Head of Home Charging at ev.energy. “This partnership marks a game-changer in driving EVs in a net zero way by enabling the charging of EVs with renewable energy. It represents a significant step forward in our collective efforts to create a sustainable future for transportation.”
The initial roll-out will be across Spain, Italy and Belgium, with many other countries around the world to follow, such as the Netherlands, France, Germany and the USA. To ensure a seamless user experience and top-notch support for customers in these regions, ev.energy has fully translated its app into local languages. Additionally, dedicated customer service teams will be established in each country.
By summer 2023, users will be able to seamlessly access the ev.energy app using their Maxeon Solar Technologies credentials, integrating smart charging and solar capabilities in a user-friendly interface.
Ralf Elias, Maxeon’s Chief Product Officer, commented: “Partnering with an innovative category leader like ev.energy moves us another step closer to democratizing clean energy. We’re excited to empower our customers to take their solar energy on the road with them through ev.energy’s smart charging technology, and we look forward to building more valuable features in the future together.”
The collaboration will also focus on carbon intensity and tariff optimisation, enabling customers to make eco-friendly choices and reduce their energy costs.
Looking ahead, ev.energy and Maxeon Solar Technologies intend to integrate battery storage solutions and develop a roaming solution, allowing seamless charging experiences across different networks.
