Vontier’s Driivz Releases Version 8 of Smart EV Charging and Energy Management Software Platform
November 12 2024 - 9:00AM
Driivz, an EVolve™e-mobility portfolio company of Vontier (NYSE:
VNT) and leading global software supplier to EV charging operators
and service providers, today announced the release of the latest
version of its smart electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy
management software platform. As a global EV charging software
leader, Driivz currently enables hundreds of millions of events for
millions of EV drivers while managing more than 100,000 chargers.
The hardware agnostic Driivz Platform V8 will increase
operational excellence and reliability for large EV charging
networks, while providing optimized energy management across every
charging site. With an accompanying new mobile app, contactless
payment support, and new NACS charger connection support, the
Platform V8 will alleviate drivers’ charge anxieties by providing a
seamless end-to-end experience.
“Reliability and seamlessness are two fundamental ingredients in
a healthy, efficient EV charging network,” said Oren Halevi, Chief
Product Officer at Driivz. “The Driivz Platform V8 gives drivers
seamless and reliable charging experiences. It does this by arming
charging networks and service providers with instant insight and
end-to-end control. The e-mobility transition continues to roll
forward, powered by our smart and adaptable platform.”
Operational Excellence and ReliabilityOperators
of large EV charging networks face unique challenges in maintaining
operational excellence which the Platform V8 is designed to address
with a modernized UX and streamlined workflows, that allow
operators to cut through noise and maintain charger uptime and
reliability.
The Operator Portal introduces a new dashboard, which provides a
comprehensive view of network health, while allowing easy
drill-down to access more detailed information. The new Charger
Summary consolidates essential charger information into one page,
simplifying the workflow for support teams and call center reps.
This enables better response times and quicker resolution of
charger issues to increase driver satisfaction while reducing
costs.
Platform V8 also enables bulk operations on multiple chargers,
ensuring consistency across the network while securing the
structure and integrity of the data. Operators can now apply
sequential firmware updates in bulk to any group of chargers to
ensure they are consistently up to date with the latest firmware
version. Similarly, preset charger configurations can be
constructed or exported from top-performing chargers and then
applied in bulk to similar groups of chargers to ensure they are
met with an optimal configuration.
Smart Energy ManagementThe Driivz Platform V8
puts the power of improved profitability and ROI on charging
infrastructure in the hands of network operators through enhanced
smart energy management features that include:
- Quick Topology Setup: Enables quick and easy
setup of a site’s electrical topology by entering some basic
parameters in a simple wizard
- SmartChain Dashboard: Provides useful
at-a-glance metrics on the availability and utilization of energy
for EV charging
- List View: A detailed breakdown of EV charging
infrastructure as a hierarchical list, simplifying the process of
setting up, monitoring and managing sites’ electrical topology
- Topology View: Displays EV charging
infrastructure as a color-coded tree that clarifies the energy flow
and provides the energy status of each element
- Side Panel: Provides additional details such
as a live feed of energy flow, meter values, transaction profiles
and more, for any element in the list or topology view
Seamless Charging Experience for EV
DriversCharge anxiety is replacing range anxiety as a
significant barrier to EV adoption. Potential and current EV
drivers have moved from worrying about battery range to distressing
about finding available, operational charging points on accessible
networks. Driivz Platform V8 addresses issues related to charge
anxiety by:
- promoting driver satisfaction with a new mobile app that
emphasizes user experience and usability. The new app can display
nearby chargers on a map or in a list, and places all main
capabilities one or two clicks away
- giving network operators banner capabilities in the new mobile
app, which allow them to communicate with drivers about promotions
and new features
- making the charging experience seamless through extended
support for contactless payments
Additionally, the Driivz Platform V8 now supports NACS
connectors, giving network operators service access for the most
common EV charging connector type in the U.S.
The V8 Platform’s Insite for Fleets function now offers reports
that provide EV fleet operators with transparency into all charging
activities - both within charging depots and at other locations.
This enables easy reconciliation with fleet drivers for charging
sessions.
