Electric Miles :Seamless, Cheaper, and Smarter EV Charging

The past couple of years have made Electric Vehicles (EV) more attractive, courtesy of the ever-increasing carbon emissions. Emissions over a lifetime are lesser for EV when compared with petrol or diesel car, even if we consider the emissions associated with the generation of electricity needed to fuel them. Along with that, they are cheaper to run, cheaper to maintain, and improve energy security.

Even after being so great, EVs are yet to become mainstream. The one problem that is absent while dealing with conventional vehicles is re-fuelling, which is not the case with EVs. The EV charging industry is still under development and poses several problems for an EV owner. Owners are not aware of charging stations’ locations; even the maps do not show them many times. Different charging stations offer different charging speeds and charges, and the owners often end up paying much more than they should. This traditional charging system, often called Dumb Charging, is one of the obstacles the EV industry is facing, which can be easily eliminated with the introduction of Smart EV Charging, and Electric Miles, a clean-tech company, is developing Intelligent Internet of Energy (IoE) EV charging solutions for smart charging.

Electric Miles offers full-service EV charge software as a platform that employs Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to suggest the user the most efficient charging schedule, considering metrics such as tariffs, journey needs, and carbon footprint. Electric Miles establishes a connection between the cloud, the EV, the platform, and the charging device. The platform automatically initiates and terminates vehicle charging to reduce the costs and enabling EV owners to monitor and manage their energy usage. The platform can be integrated with a user’s calendar to determine charging needs and modify the charge schedule as per the local grid’s operations. The platform is available in the form of a mobile app, making it easily accessible and usable. It is regularly updated to keep up with the UK’s changing regulations to ensure the cheapest, cleanest, and most efficient charging. Using Electric Miles’ platform, users can see their charging history, including the amount of energy they consumed and the amount of carbon they produced. The statistics enable users to check how much money they have saved as well.

Electric Miles serves consumers having different requirements. Personal EV owners can utilise the platform on a subscription basis, supporting a wireless connection between vehicles of major EV brands such as Tesla, Nisan, and home charge points. Users can enable automated-charging, which saves their time. Electric Miles also caters to commercial EVs and provides a similar subscription-based model at the lowest possible cost. Fleet operators and managers can utilise the platform to optimise their fleet operations, avoid expensive grid-upgrade costs and reduce OPEX spend with Fleet Charging as a Service. Electric Miles also partners with Charge Point Manufacturers and Energy Suppliers to expose them to potential EV owners, efficiently serve and retain them.

As the UK government announces the ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030, Electric Miles is well-positioned to transform EV charging, help the general public contribute to tackling the climate crisis, and become an essential part of the ‘green industrial revolution.’
