Providing EV charging intelligence where it’s needed
Some EV charging infrastructure control functions are best handled on-site, some in the cloud. Driivz and Sparkion offer a combination of both. Every EV charging system consists of various components, including hardware (chargers, switchgear), software (charging management, user apps) and services (installation, payment processing, maintenance). As regular Charged readers know, companies that want to provide… Read more »
