Energy consortium announces smart EV charging project to help large fleets go electric

The UK has launched the EV Fleet-Centred Local Energy Systems (EFLES) project to help fleet operators switch to electric options.

A combined force of UK Power Networks Services, UPS, Innovate UK, Cross River Partnership and Moixa will work together on the project, which is prepped for launch in May 2020.

EFLES will utilise Moixa’s AI software GridShare to optimise electric vehicle (EV) charging and provide cost and emission cutting solutions.

The smart charging project will help reduce strain on local networks by shifting demand to less constrained times.

Simon Daniel, CEO of Moixa said: “Our ever-growing online shopping rates mean we’re delivering more things than ever before – everything from food shopping to medical supplies – and that’s having a big impact on carbon emissions and air pollution in our cities.

“Mitigating these impacts is a massive challenge but this project shows how with the help of the AI-powered technology, like GridShare, the world’s biggest fleet operators can go electric and achieve their environmental ambitions.”
