Problem
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) places new demands on the power grid, requiring advanced solutions for efficient charging, grid management, and integration of renewable energy sources. Existing EV charging infrastructure often lacks the intelligence and interoperability needed to optimize energy distribution, manage peak demand, and support vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionality.
Solution
IoTecha provides a comprehensive IoT.ON™ platform that integrates cloud-based charging tools, EV-grid management, and intelligent charging orchestration for electric vehicle applications. The platform includes hardware modules, software, and cloud services that enable smart charging, V2G capabilities, and seamless integration of EVs with the power grid. IoTecha's solutions simplify the development and implementation of smart EV charging and EV/smart grid integration, reducing costs and time to market for customers. The IoT.ON™ platform supports ISO 15118, enabling Plug and Charge functionality and secure communication between EVs, charging stations, and the grid. By optimizing energy flows and enabling participation in smart charging utility programs, IoTecha helps to reduce energy costs, lower demand charges, and improve grid stability.
Target Audience
IoTecha's primary customers include EV charger manufacturers, charge point operators (CPOs), fleet operators, utilities, and automotive manufacturers seeking to integrate smart charging and V2G capabilities into their products and services.
