EV Cloud Has Received the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” Label, Rewarding Profitable Solutions to Protect the Environment
El Segundo, Calif. December 10, 2020 — EV Connect, a leading software-as-a-service company simplifying the set-up, management, and optimization of EV stations for businesses and drivers, and its open-network platform, EV Cloud, were attributed the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” Label following an assessment performed by external independent experts and based on verified standards. It is thereby joining the #1000solutions challenge, an initiative by the Solar Impulse Foundation to select solutions that meet high standards in profitability and sustainability and present them to decision-makers to fast-track their implementation.
EV Connect is building the infrastructure to allow site owners and utilities to deploy quickly, manage, and grow feature-rich and customized EV charging networks. Through its innovative and open charging platform, EV Cloud, drivers are connected to charging stations, site owners to their ports, utilities to demand data, and service providers to their networks. This centralized infrastructure operates primarily out of view of EV drivers, but it is critical for the rapid electrification of transportation. The EV Connect platform scales from a single-connector charging station up to many thousands of connectors across hundreds of sites. EV Connect customers have the freedom to choose their charging hardware, which means that they can scale their EV charging businesses on their terms.
To receive the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” Label, EV Connect’s EV Cloud software solution was thoroughly assessed by a pool of independent experts according to 5 criteria covering the three main topics of Feasibility, Environmental and Profitability. All labelled solutions are part of the #1000solutions portfolio that will be presented to decision-makers in business and government by Bertrand Piccard, Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation. The aim of this initiative is to encourage the adoption of more ambitious environmental targets and fast-track the implementation of these solutions on a large scale.
