Streamlined EV Integration for Energy Providers
Emulate Energy, a leading provider of distributed energy resource management system (DERMS) software, has partnered with Smartcar, a top API platform for mobility solutions. This collaboration enables seamless integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into Emulate’s platform, providing energy providers with an all-in-one solution to manage consumer distributed energy resources (DERs). With this partnership, energy providers can leverage EV charging flexibility to balance the grid, lower peak demand, and enhance overall grid stability.
Empowering Reliable EV Integration
By broadening support for diverse EV models, Emulate allows energy providers to harness EVs as a key energy resource. Smartcar facilitates automated EV data retrieval, enabling Emulate to optimize charging schedules based on variable pricing. Consumers can set personalized charging preferences, trusting the platform to handle the rest efficiently.
Reliable EV integrations are essential for offering consumers a unified platform to manage multiple devices effortlessly.
“Emulate’s goal is to connect and control every possible energy device. While market participation and controls are our core strengths, Smartcar simplifies EV connectivity across manufacturers and models,” says Blake Davis, Senior Director of US Operations at Emulate.
A Scalable Partnership for Growth
The partnership with Smartcar was driven by Emulate’s need for a reliable, scalable solution that could be deployed quickly without overburdening engineering resources.
