Rhythmos.io and FlexCharging are partnering to expand access to distribution system-optimized managed charging and asset management for utilities and EV owners. Rhythmos.io continues to build its partnership ecosystem by collaborating with EV charging equipment and service providers, EV manufacturers, and utilities.
As power consumption is expected to triple by 2050 and the proportion of renewables is likely to double in the next 15 years, the need for integrations becomes crucial for utilities to effectively manage the power system.
Rhythmos.io software optimizes EV charging by aligning it with periods of high renewable energy availability, ensuring ongoing electric grid reliability while providing drivers with control and preferences at their fingertips.
FlexCharging has developed its Adaptive Polling system to address shortcomings of other telematics providers, such as data loss and poor customer experience.
“These shortcomings were recently featured in a New York Public Service Commission filing by National Grid,” said Mark Rawson, COO with Rhythmos.io. “FlexCharging is bringing more advanced technology to the market to improve smart charging performance for utilities and EV driver experience, increasing driver retention in utility charging programs.”
Rhythmos.io and FlexCharging are continuing to expand their presence throughout North America. Their partnership offers comprehensive distribution-optimized managed charging programs for utilities, including customer program design, customer recruitment, and user-friendly dashboards for both drivers and utilities.
These solutions prioritize grid-aware active managed charging ensuring low grid stress and high renewable energy availability while saving users costs and reducing the environmental impact.
“FlexCharging saves EV drivers money on time-of-use rates, maximizes the use of clean energy through carbon-optimized charging, and empowers solar owners to drive on sunlight” said Brian Grunkemeyer, FlexCharging founder and CEO. “[Rhythmos.io] analytical solutions allow utilities to detect EV charging through advanced metering infrastructure, characterize how energy is being used today and how that impacts utility assets, and optimize charging to protect utility assets and reduce grid constraints.”
