Challenge	ev.energy is a company that develops a smart charging management software that optimizes charge schedules based on drivers‘ energy tariffs and the estimated carbon intensity of the grid. The company works with the world’s leading charge point manufacturers, automotive and energy companies to deliver a complete smart charging solution to end users. However, they needed a robust IoT communication solution that works globally and securely integrates into their software. They were previously on a contract with a European network operator but decided to switch due to various challenges. Read More
About Customer	ev.energy is a company focused on delivering the best at-home charge experience for worldwide EV owners. They develop a smart charging management software that optimizes charge schedules based on drivers‘ energy tariffs and the estimated carbon intensity of the grid. By shifting charging sessions to offpeak times, the resulted energy costs and carbon footprint can be minimized. The company works with the world’s leading charge point manufacturers, automotive and energy companies to deliver a complete smart charging solution to end users. They have offices in London, UK, and Palo Alto, USA. Read More
Solution	ev.energy switched to EMnify for their IoT communication needs. EMnify’s IoT SIM provided reliable, out-of-the-box cellular connectivity no matter where the chargers are. The Intra-Cloud Connect feature allowed ev.energy to establish a secure, private network between chargers and the software application without using the public Internet. This ensured that all communication remained invisible from the outside world to prevent false, unwanted control signals to the chargers. EMnify’s custom DNS service brought the flexibility ev.energy needed, eliminating the need for firmware changes by charge point vendors while ensuring DNS security. The OpenVPN service proved to be useful for ev.energy to onboard new charge points to their platform and test device behaviour during the pilot phase. Read More Log in to view content
