Smart charging software provider ev.energy has partnered with energy data platform Volteras to enhance real-time management of electric vehicle (EV) charging, aiming to reduce costs for drivers, cut emissions, and support a more resilient power grid. The collaboration seeks to scale managed charging programs across the EV ecosystem by making secure, high-speed data streams widely accessible.
Under the partnership, Volteras will integrate with more than 30 automakers, including Mercedes-Benz and Stellantis, streaming EV telematics and energy data every five seconds. This information — covering elements such as battery state and charging events — will allow ev.energy to expand its demand response and smart charging programs. Utilities and energy providers can then deliver flexible charging solutions to customers, helping them lower bills and minimize environmental impact while easing strain on the grid.
A key part of the initiative focuses on interoperability and data ownership. By promoting a standardized, driver-owned approach to vehicle data, the companies say the collaboration will encourage innovation while ensuring privacy and security. The real-time integrations are designed to avoid risks to vehicle warranties and to strengthen trust between drivers, automakers, and energy providers.
Nick Woolley, CEO and Co-Founder of ev.energy, said: “Volteras’ OEM integrations and real-time data capabilities align with our vision of unlocking flexibility for all EV drivers, delivering seamless, secure, and impactful smart charging solutions.” Peter Wilson, CEO of Volteras, added: “Our high-speed, accurate data ensures ev.energy customers enjoy optimized energy use and a seamless experience.”
Both companies emphasize scalability as utilities face growing demand from rising EV adoption. By combining Volteras’ real-time streaming with ev.energy’s technology-agnostic platform, the partnership aims to ensure that all EV drivers — regardless of brand — can participate in smart charging programs, strengthening grid resilience while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
