ev.energy

ev.energy is a smart EV charging software company founded in 2018 in London, United Kingdom by Nick Woolley and Chris Darby, with a second base in Palo Alto, California. It was created to help utilities and energy retailers shift electric vehicle charging away from peak demand periods, reducing grid strain and cutting charging costs for drivers.

The company’s Eve platform connects to EV chargers and vehicles through OCPP and manufacturer APIs, then automatically schedules charging sessions around electricity price signals, renewable generation and grid constraints while running utility demand-flexibility programs. Utilities and energy retailers license Eve to run managed-charging programs, and a companion driver app extends the same scheduling to individual EV owners.

1. Managed charging platform: Eve automatically times EV charging sessions to cheaper, cleaner grid periods.

2. Utility program orchestration: runs demand-flexibility programs on behalf of utilities and energy retailers.

3. Device connectivity: integrates with EV chargers and vehicle telematics through OCPP and OEM APIs.

4. Driver app: gives EV owners visibility and control over charging cost and schedule.

5. Vehicle-to-grid readiness: supports passive nudges toward V2G participation for compatible vehicles.

6. Security-certified platform: OCPP 1.6 certified with SOC 2 security compliance.
