ev.energy

ev.energy is a company that provides a smart EV charging app designed to optimize charging for the lowest cost and carbon emissions. The app allows users to automatically charge their vehicles with the cheapest and cleanest electricity available in their area, and users can track their charging costs and kWh through the app. It also provides cash rewards for smart charging, which reduces environmental impact and energy grid strain. The app supports charging with home solar generation without requiring extra hardware and offers award-winning customer support. With over 100,000 users, the app can optimize EV charging with automated adjustments based on energy price and emissions and allows users to view and export energy, cost, and carbon emissions data for each charge. It is compatible with existing vehicles and home chargers and offers a feature to lock compatible home chargers directly from the app. The company offers a solar charging subscription for £5/month or £50/year, which includes features like Solar Only Mode and Solar Smart Mode, and guarantees savings of at least £50 in the next 12 months for solar charging users or they will refund the difference. The app supports public charging at over 2900 locations and has offices in the UK and USA. ev.energy received a $41 million grant from the California Energy Commission to scale electric vehicle charging solutions across California and secured $33 million in Series B funding to drive electric vehicle-grid integration in North America and Europe. The company has integrated Rolling Energy Resources under its US operations to enhance its EV charging optimization platform and collaborates with Flexitricity on an EV charging flexibility initiative for National Grid ESO reserve service. ev.energy has been carbon-negative for three consecutive years and has a partnership with Maxeon Solar Technologies to transform home solar and EV charging solutions. The app helps users save money by charging during off-peak hours and provides detailed charge summaries, including energy, cost, and carbon data. It offers a feature called Smart Schedule, allowing users to set customized charging schedules for each day of the week, and a power cut notification service called Powercast in collaboration with UK Power Networks. The company also has a V2X (vehicle-to-everything) smart charging technology that enables energy transfer from vehicles to homes or the grid and a managed EV charging program called SmartCharge New York, the largest-ever smart EV charging program in the US. Additionally, the company offers a rewards program where users can earn points for smart charging and redeem them for rewards like Amazon gift cards and a feature called Solar Smart, which combines solar energy with the energy tariff to ensure the car is charged using the cheapest and greenest energy possible.
