Smart electrical vehicle charging solution provider ev.energy has announced a partnership with Jumptech, a comprehensive platform dedicated to streamlining the installation process of EV charge points.
Scheduled to commence in January 2024, this collaboration is set to accelerate the deployment of intelligent, compliant hardware throughout the UK, marking a significant leap forward in the transition to EVs. By alleviating stress on the energy grid and delivering cost savings for end-users, the ev.energy and Jumptech alliance is poised to redefine the landscape of EV charging.
The partnership reflects a shared vision of nurturing a sustainable and efficient EV charging ecosystem and will focus on several key dimensions:
Educational initiatives for installers and end-users: The alliance will illuminate the benefits of smart EV chargers, empowering installers and end-users with knowledge and tools to maximise efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Expansion of compliant charging infrastructure: Central to this partnership is the widespread adoption of Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) compliant hardware, ensuring future-proofing, interoperability, and the development of a robust charging network.
Streamlining installation and commissioning processes: The collaboration aims to enhance efficiency for electricians and EV charge point installers, meeting the growing demand for home installations and expediting the commissioning of charge points through Jumptech’s platform.
Promoting renewable energy integration: The partnership is committed to advancing the adoption of solar-compatible EV chargers, reducing dependency on non-renewable energy sources and contributing to the UK’s broader sustainability objectives.
CEO Charlie Bodycote said: “We’re on a mission to simplify EV charging, and our partnership with ev.energy takes us another step forward. Together, we’ll get more chargers to use renewable energy on cheaper tariffs and more miles can be driven on wind and solar power.”
Head of home charging Aaron Sweet said: “Smart charging stands as a cornerstone in the evolution of a sustainable EV infrastructure. Our partnership with Jumptech is a monumental stride towards democratising access to intelligent, grid-compatible charging solutions. By harnessing our collective strengths, we are poised to redefine the EV charging experience, making it more accessible, efficient, and integral to a renewable energy future.”
