EVmatch operates a nationwide shared EV charging network in the US, enabling apartment operators, business owners, and other private properties to seamlessly manage and monetise charging stations in shared spaces.
To support the growing demand for flexible and advanced charging, EVmatch has announced that its software for payment processing, reservations, and access controls is now integrated with the Autel MaxiCharger AC Elite Business and AC Ultra charging stations.
Autel charging stations include several new features that align with the most advanced industry standards - notably, California Type Evaluation Program (CTEP) certification and ISO15118 compliance. CTEP certified hardware is required for new publicly available charging stations in California and ISO15118 compliance is a growing requirement for rebate programs from utilities and governments.
"We started EVmatch to address a major barrier to EV adoption, the lack of reliable and convenient charging options for renters and apartment dwellers," said Heather Hochrein, founder and CEO of EVmatch. "Our newest partnership with Autel advances our efforts to make charging easy, reliable, and accessible to all by combining our reservation management software with future-proofed EV charging hardware. Together with Autel, we're supporting the latest industry standards and enhancing choices for property owners."
EVmatch and Autel's combined solution helps property owners to future-proof their charging systems, ensuring they meet the needs of drivers and evolving technology advancements. The two companies hope that their partnership paves the way for further innovation in the EV charging industry and will support rapid charging infrastructure deployment at small and medium-sized businesses and apartment communities.
