eMotorWerks and EO
Charging partner to deliver
electric vehicle charger
e
MotorWerks, a subsidiary of Enel’s
advanced energy services global
business; line Enel X and a leading provider
of intelligent and cloud-connected smart-
grid charging solutions; and EO Charging,
one of the UK’s leading domestic and fleet
EV charging manufacturers, have partnered
to launch the UK and Europe’s smartest
home charger.
This new solution will integrate
eMotorWerks’ JuiceNet, a cloud-based
platform aggregating and managing
charging station demands, into the new
EO Mini Pro electric vehicle (EV) charger,
delivering smart grid-connected home
charging stations.
“As more UK drivers opt for an electric car
and the UK increases its renewable energy
/////////////////////////////
supply, we’re pleased to partner with EO
Charging and together offer the UK’s
smartest chargers on the market,” said
Valery Miftakhov, Founder and CEO
of eMotorWerks.
“By participating in energy services such as
demand response, drivers can reduce EV
operating costs and relieve pressure on the
grid at times of stress. We look forward to
promoting EO Charging JuiceNet-powered
products alongside our own JuiceBox EV
charging stations to support smart grid
charging across the UK and soon in other
European countries. As we expand our
European business, we believe JuiceNet
will be a significant smart grid enabler for
energy companies and authorities to ensure
that EVs play a beneficial role in our energy
systems at scale.”
Charlie Jardine, Founder and CEO at EO
Charging, said: “We see electric vehicle
chargers as more than ‘just a plug’, they’re
the gateway to the future of mobility and
the first piece of the puzzle in giving people
energy autonomy.
Electric vehicles represent the most
disruptive technology the modern power
network has ever witnessed and we are
working to ensure that EO is at the forefront
of the e-mobility revolution where EV drivers
and consumers are playing a more active
role in their energy generation and usage.
“While we have seen success in the home
charging market with the standard EO Mini,
we’ve not had a true ‘smart-home offering’.
“Our partnership with eMotorWerks allows
us to launch a cost-effective smart charger
for the domestic EV driver that can integrate
with solar, onsite storage and offer a
plethora of energy management benefits.
eMotorWerks is leading the industry in terms
of smart grid charging and we’re excited to
integrate the company’s JuiceNet platform
into the EO Mini Pro for our customers in the
UK and soon across Europe.”
Through the partnership, EV drivers in the UK
and other European countries are set to gain
more control of their EV charging. The new
smart chargers are indeed designed for all EV
drivers and energy conscious homeowners,
incorporating eMotorWerks’ JuiceNet
communication, control, and intelligence
software EV charging platform into the EO
Mini Pro.
Available from early 2019, the EO Mini
Pro will be designed for all types of homes,
including traditional homes reliant on the
grid for their energy and homes with solar
panels and/or battery storage. n
