eMotorWerks, a provider of smart grid EV charging solutions, has teamed with EV Meter, a subsidiary of Nayax, for the development of an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) platform.
JuiceStation, the new platform will provide smart grid energy intelligence for convenience stores, service stations, and shopping centers, the company said.
The joint solution will complement eMotorWerks’ EVSE platform by adding comprehensive access control, flexible payment options, energy management, and advanced reporting features.
By using eMotorWerks’ cloud-based energy solution called JuiceNet, JuiceStation will allow EVSE fleet managers – such as operators of EV charging stations at gas stations, convenience stores, shopping centers – to offer convenient, fast, and broadly-accessible electric vehicle charging, the company said.
The dual 40-amp per head charging stations are scheduled for installation throughout 2017 alongside the Nayax deployment of over 30,000 point of sale terminals already located across North America in convenience stores, service stations, and shopping centers.
“Electric car drivers across the U.S. are demanding broad access to EV charging infrastructure. This requires access to reliable EV stations with open payment options, something that the industry has been unable to meet with one complete, easy to use solution,” said Yair Nechmad, owner and CEO of Nayax.
“Partnering with eMotorWerks enables us to deliver on EV driver needs while lowering operating costs for fleet managers with a proven, cloud-based solution,” Nechmad added.
“Our goal is to build the best commercial EV charging station on the market,” said EV Meter general manager, Joseph Kwong.
“By combining the eMotorWerks platform, which we see as the smartest cloud-based EV charger solution available, with the well established globally-deployed automated machine platform from Nayax, we can provide a highly advanced public EV charging station, future-proofed and ready to last the test of time,” Kwong added.
