eMotorWerks and Nayax Partner to Deliver Smart-Grid Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
December 8, 2106 -- Recognizing the need for affordable, smart-grid enabled charging options with flexible payment methods for EV charging, eMotorWerks has teamed with EV Meter, a subsidiary of Nayax, for the development of JuiceStation, an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) platform that is designed to provide smart grid energy intelligence for convenience stores, service stations, and shopping centers. 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. Partnering with eMotorWerks enables us to deliver on EV driver needs while lowering operating costs for fleet managers with a proven, cloud-based solution,' stated Yair Nechmad, owner and CEO of Nayax.
The joint solution is designed to complement eMotorWerks' residential EVSE platform by adding access control, flexible payment options, energy management, and advanced reporting features. By using eMotorWerks' cloud-based energy solution (called JuiceNet), JuiceStation is intended to 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.
JuiceStation leverages the same core hardware and cloud-based platform of eMotorWerks' residential solution (JuiceBox Pro), and is designed to offer EV drivers real-time visibility, control, and site-level energy optimizations that reduce charging costs and greenhouse gas emissions. Nayax's automated machine platform, VPOS Touch (Virtual Point of Sale), will augment the JuiceNet capabilities with cashless payments, cellular communication, remote management, monitoring, and analytics.
eMotorWerks notes that the JuiceNet platform also affords automated, multi-tiered control algorithms and load balancing that enables multiple charging stations to operate simultaneously under 'peak load' settings that avoid excessive strain on electrical circuits. JuiceStation also is designed to save customers money by minimizing and even eliminating, the expensive monthly fees associated with traditional public EV charging solutions. In addition, JuiceStation can be coordinated with third-party energy management systems to minimize the cost of operating EVSE fleets by reducing electricity demand charges, according to eMotorWerks.
'We are delighted to offer the first ever smart-grid enabled public EV charging station,' said eMotorWerks founder & CEO Valery Miftakhov. 'After establishing ourselves as the industry's leading innovator of advanced residential charging solutions for electric vehicles, it is a natural progression to provide our technology for non-residential charging locations via partnerships such as this one with Nayax.'
