Volue has announced the launch of Spark, a revolutionary new service that uses partner collaboration to deliver a data-driven smart-charging solution.
This cutting-edge technology leverages long-term power price prediction, allowing EV owners to make informed decisions on when to charge their vehicles, resulting in significant power bill savings and contributing to a more sustainable energy ecosystem.
The Spark service provides users with a week-long price forecast, enabling smart charging optimization. As the partner ecosystem is independent of power suppliers, automakers, EV fleets, and charging operators can provide their customers with even greater value.
Tor Reier Lilleholt, Head of Analysis at Volue Insight, said, “With the increasing popularity of smart charging services, consumers have long been able to save money based on spot prices. As more renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are integrated into the power system, the volatility of power pricing is expected to increase from day to day. By providing consumers with insight into power price predictions, Volue’s advanced analytics will help EV owners choose the right day or timeslot to charge their vehicles during the week, offering additional opportunities for savings on their power bills.”
Kjetil Storset, Spark Lead, Volue said, “By pairing real-time data with long-term forecasting, we are creating real value for consumers, EV aggregators and distributors.” The Spark service is a significant step towards a more sustainable energy ecosystem and helps drive the green transition.
