LITTLETON, Colo., June 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- WeaveGrid, a software company
that enables rapid electric vehicle (EV) adoption on the electric
grid, and Emporia Energy, a leading innovator in home energy
management solutions, today announced a partnership to make smart
EV charging more accessible by expanding access to utility managed
charging programs for Emporia EV charger owners.
WeaveGrid's intelligent software will integrate with Emporia
Energy's EV chargers, enabling seamless participation in
utility-managed charging programs and grid optimization
initiatives. This will provide EV drivers with Emporia chargers the
following benefits:
- Cost savings: By automatically aligning charging with
periods of high renewable energy availability or low grid demand,
paired with time-varying utility rates, drivers can potentially
reduce the charging costs on their electric bills.
- Enhanced grid reliability: WeaveGrid's software helps to
manage EV charging demand in real-time, ensuring grid stability and
preventing potential strain on the electric grid distribution
system.
- Charging insights: Compared to monthly utility
bills, drivers see additional information about their charging
patterns and costs through a weekly wrap-up of charging
history.
WeaveGrid and Emporia will soon launch the partnership in select
utility managed charging programs administered by WeaveGrid.
"We are thrilled to partner with Emporia Energy to make smart EV
charging more accessible and affordable for all types of EV
drivers," said Yakov Berenshteyn,
Director of Automotive and Charging Partnerships at WeaveGrid.
"Emporia's commitment to clean energy aligns perfectly with our
mission to accelerate the transition to sustainable
transportation."
"This partnership is a significant step forward in simplifying
the EV charging experience for EV drivers and Emporia charger
owners," said Shawn McLaughlin, CEO
of Emporia Energy. "By combining Emporia's reliable EV chargers
with WeaveGrid's intelligent software, we are empowering drivers to
save money, contribute to a cleaner grid, and enjoy the convenience
of smart charging."
