COLORADO, 12 July 2023: Rhythmos and Driivz, two leading providers of EV charging and energy management solutions, have partnered to double EV charging capacity for utilities and fleets.
The partnership will use Rhythmos’ utility-deployed solution to optimize charging schedules pushed through the Driivz EV charging and energy management platform.
The partnership is expected to help utilities and fleets manage the fast-growing EV charging ecosystem and accelerate the adoption of EVs. The Rhythmos platform can more than double charging capacity with little to no changes to infrastructure, enabling lower costs for planned infrastructure investments while delivering the charging capacity that customers need.
“The interface between EVs and the grid is becoming increasingly complicated, and most current solutions are, in effect, demand response management platforms looking to the utility for information they don’t have the tools to provide,” said Ken Munson, CEO of Rhythmos. “But Rhythmos and Driivz together can connect the critical dots to manage the complex charging ecosystem.”
Driivz operates in more than 30 US, European, and Asian countries. The company manages 100s of millions of EV transactions for millions of EV drivers and repairs up to 80 percent of operations issues remotely. Driivz supports over 750 charger models and is one of the first industry players to be certified for OCPP 2.0.1.
“Electrified transportation plays a major role in decarbonization goals, yet, the industry faces many challenges along the way,” said Doron Frenkel, founder and CEO of Driivz. “To address these challenges, flexible energy management solutions are essential to provide the necessary capacity for EV charging while limiting the impact on the deployment of charging infrastructure. Finding the right mix between the two is crucial to avoiding network congestion, maximizing the use of clean electricity, and lowering charging costs.”
The partnership between Rhythmos and Driivz is a significant step forward in the development of the EV charging ecosystem. The two companies have a combined wealth of experience and expertise, and their partnership is well-positioned to help utilities and fleets meet the growing demand for EV charging.
