The Charge Net integrated software offering uses EV-Charge America’s Charge Net Globally Networked Charging Stations for plug in electric and hybrid plug in vehicles and are embedded with GridPoint’s smart charging software to further enhance municipalities, public and private utilities abilities to manage grid loads relative to electric vehicle charging infrastructure roll-outs now going on world-wide.
According to the company, utilities and municipalities will now have a globally networked software offering that monitors and adjusts to real-time grid loads thus allowing stake holders to adapt, modulate and optimize the supply and demand of electricity when used as a transportation fuel while integrating with other third-party software applications, including utility company’s back office control software.
Electric Utility Companies of all sizes will be able to easily and economically manage the load generated by the increasing numbers of EVs. Demand / Response activities are monitored and optimized on any macro and/or micro geographic grid levels using this new and innovative Charge Net platform.
The Charge Net is built to effectively interact with utility company’s new time-of-use rates that are expected to be an effective tool in incentivizing EV users to charge their vehicles during night time or off-peak hours, the company said.
Bob Rosinski, CEO of EV-Charge America, said: ”This new, multiple vehicle operating system platform that is seamless to the user is being offered at a price point and ROI that is the most cost-effective in the industry. In today’s economic environment, businesses and municipalities must maximize the value of their capital expenditures by charging up to 4 vehicles from one station. Charge Net makes economic sense.”
