WeaveGrid partners with the American Center for Mobility to test EV-grid integration software

By Michelle Froese | March 22, 2024

WeaveGrid, a software company enabling the rapid integration of electric vehicles (EV) with the electric grid, today announced it was partnering with the American Center for Mobility (ACM) to test its innovative software with real-world EVs and charging infrastructure at ACM’s Willow Run facility in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

This effort will be supported by the Michigan Mobility Funding Platform, a grant awarded by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification (OFME).

WeaveGrid’s software helps EVs integrate with the electric grid by leveraging data and controls available via vehicle telematics and cloud-connected charging hardware. By combining these data sources with grid-optimized algorithms to facilitate charging at beneficial times, WeaveGrid enables EVs and charging devices to interact with the grid, boosting grid resilience while reducing driver costs.

By participating in live testing at ACM’s Willow Run site, a state-of-the-art testing and development facility, WeaveGrid will be able to:

  • Expand testing of its software with diverse EV models and charging stations. The ACM’s expansive facilities offer a real-world environment in which to test WeaveGrid’s software products across various EV models and charger types, ensuring broad applicability and scalability.
  • Utilize ACM’s EV Charging & Interoperability Testbed to validate vehicle data and charging insights to inform ongoing software development as well as future EV-grid integration strategies.
  • Establish a testing facility to house test vehicles and expand WeaveGrid’s presence in southeastern Michigan.

“The collaboration unlocked by this grant represents an exciting opportunity to gather real-world data from a wide range of EVs and chargers, and lead the way in advanced measurement and validation of vehicle telematics for utility applications more broadly,” said Yakov Berenshteyn, WeaveGrid’s director of Automotive & Charging Partnerships. “By working with the American Center for Mobility, we will support OEMs and EVSE providers in elevating their grid integration capabilities, and ensure our utility partners have a robust software platform to solve infrastructure optimization challenges cost-effectively.”

With access to ACM’s development and validation garage facility, as well as a range of Level 2 EV chargers, WeaveGrid will begin conducting charging test procedures later this year. Formalizing this effort at the Michigan Testing Facility in Ypsilanti will also open the door for expanding this effort and engaging with major automotive events.
