AGL has announced that it has acquired an electric vehicle (EV) platform to enhance charging solutions for its customers.
Everty, an Australian-owned platform, aims to deliver comprehensive, full-service charging and energy management solutions for EVs.
It connects to EV charging stations and will be available to commercial customers, such as large property groups, fleet owners, public parking and landlords. It allows customers to monitor EV charging usage, maintenance, and identify optimal load and lead times, to better manage and monetise the system.
AGL said key Everty platform features include:
- Charge-point management systems (CPMS) to help manage charging stations and optimise charging operations
- Charging-as-a-service (CaaS) to allow customers to use charging infrastructure without upfront costs or ownership responsibilities
- Energy management solutions to help customers manage their energy consumption and optimise charging schedules
AGL Head of E-Mobility, Mabelle Reyes, said the acquisition will enable AGL to provide a fuller service and enhanced charging and energy management solutions for customers.
“EVs account for nearly ten per cent of all new car sales in Australia, and this will continue to grow. We’re focused on building out the infrastructure and delivering innovative solutions that encourage widespread adoption of EVs, so everyone can embrace a sustainable future for transportation.”
Everty Founder, Carola Jonas, said Everty is excited about the strong backing by AGL.
“Together with the shared commitment of helping Australians reach a net zero future, we will work towards making it simple and stress-free for people to make the transition to zero emissions transport.”
