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, 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 with 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.
The companies will soon launch the partnership in select utility-managed charging programs administered by WeaveGrid.
“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.”
Emporia chargers are one of the top selling EV Chargers in North America. The Emporia smart charger is priced competitively, with options to include Emporia Vue Energy Monitors and Home Energy Management System. It’s available in J1772 and NACS configurations, making it compatible with all EV makes and models and allowing for expanded access to utility incentives.
