• Virtual power plant: aggregation of distributed assets for grid ancillary services.
• Smart charging: V1G, V2G and V2X control of EVs and chargers.
• Battery monetisation: revenue optimisation for stationary batteries.
• Energy communities: local sharing and optimisation of energy.
• Local optimisation: site-level control of solar, storage and loads.
• Aggregation module: access to grid ancillary service markets.

Vietnamese EV makers and charging networks piloting managed charging with solar-plus-storage sites. Fleet operators in logistics and ride-hailing shifting charging to lower-cost hours. Industrial parks building local energy communities with rooftop solar and batteries.

Lets EV makers, fleets and battery owners earn revenue from flexibility with one modular platform. Smart charging supports V1G, V2G and V2X. Energy community and local optimisation modules serve sites with solar and storage. A calculator on the site estimates savings for smart charging under standard assumptions.

Carmakers and fleet operators are looking at V2G and smart charging as new revenue lines. In Vietnam, EV makers and charging networks are growing quickly, so charging-flexibility software could become relevant as time-of-use pricing and ancillary services develop.
