The newly launched EV charging solutions firm’s ELVIS software is vendor agnostic and can handle over 1,000 charge points.
Powertech Mobility is empowering Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and EV owners to optimize their energy usage and gain insightful data on the charging activities of their electric vehicles. The company has announced a unique charge point management system named ELVIS (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Solution).
The firm has customized the software to the UAE EV segment in coordination with Numocity Technologies – a leading Indian-based digital platform for EV charging which is part owned by the e-mobility division of global EV charging solutions firm ABB. Powertech Mobility is the official SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) reseller of ELVIS representing Numocity’s localized software in the UAE.
Operating with a subscription-based business model, ELVIS helps pair EV infrastructure hardware with advanced software by acting as a centralized management tool to share information on users’ EV charging habits and address their energy efficiency decisions, thereby facilitating a convenient, sustainable and economical solution to manage smart and sustainable electric mobility in the UAE.
Key features include the software being hosted on Microsoft Cloud in the UAE, its vendor-agnostic element allowing interoperability among various IT systems and its ability to handle over 1,000 charge points offering immense scalability.
“Our aim through ELVIS is to help charge point operators optimize their electric vehicle supply equipment by monitoring and monetizing the service through real-time data. Managing demand through peak and off-peak pricing is another unique feature that will further improve their return on investment,” says Arthi Srinivasan, Director of EV Charging Solutions, Powertech Mobility.
The other features include users can monitor the real-time status of their EV chargers (including charging session durations) and study their energy consumption to minimize downtime at charge points. Likewise, customers can manage their invoicing and fault reports all on one platform and lower costs from automatic data collection, timely alerts, and engaging in necessary maintenance based on historical trends.
“The versatility of ELVIS allows for B2B operation and B2C operations. Our target audiences include fleet operators, developers and property management companies, residents of high-rise buildings, and public users to mention a few. So far, our customers have had seamless experiences and we have received feedback signaling that ELVIS is well-suited for an independent EV charging service,” added Vinay Premachandran, Director of Sales, Powertech Mobility.
ELVIS also offers CPOs access to a mobile application to share their network of assets with end-users, thereby enabling end customers to easily locate and use the charging stations. Moreover, RFID-enabled users can interact with the RFID-enabled charging equipment and pay for their charging session using the mobile application. ELVIS currently operates across 20 charging points in the UAE and has over 100 active users.
