The link-up is intended to provide EV charging infrastructure builders and operators with an integrated solution and simplified path toward the deployment and commissioning of mobility electrification projects. There will be a special focus on in-depot and in-transit charging applications that enable charge management and smart energy services for electric vehicles including trucks, buses and passenger cars.
The two companies say they have complementary competencies, technologies, and a shared vision to advance the electrification of mobility. Schneider Electric provides digital transformation of energy management and automation while The Mobility House Solutions is a supplier of smart charging technology.
The partnership combines the strengths of both organisations to provide EV charging infrastructure builders and operators an integrated solution and simplified path toward the deployment and commissioning of mobility electrification projects.
By cooperating commercially as technology providers and resellers, The Mobility House Solutions and Schneider Electric will bring more efficient and cost-effective charging performance to numerous end markets. The collaboration uniquely delivers their customers a local charge & energy management system to power and coordinate smart and fast EV charging at scale.
"We are pleased to partner with The Mobility House, who share our vision of a decarbonized future for mobility. Together, we are poised to speed up the deployment of important technologies for fleet electrification. We expect this cooperation to serve a cross-section of markets seeking a smart and sensible approach to charging performance and coordination." said Asha Devasia, power systems strategy SVP at Schneider Electric.
“Our advanced charging and energy management system ChargePilot enables our partners to offer reliable charging at lowest possible energy and grid connection costs. In our experience customers can save up to 70% in grid connection costs and another 20-50% in energy costs,” said Heiko Bayer, MD at The Mobility House Solutions. “Partnering with a strong industry leader like Schneider Electric allows us to combine our expertise and join forces to accelerate the electrification of mobility, delivering innovative and impactful solutions on a global scale.”
One example of EV fleet charging technology in action can be seen in Montgomery County, Maryland. The Brookville Smart Energy Bus Depot is a landmark project featuring a 6.5 megawatt microgrid and electric bus charging infrastructure. This project, delivered for zero upfront costs via Energy as a Service, includes onsite solar canopies, natural gas generators, battery storage, microgrid controls, and electric bus chargers to support 70 electric buses. The Mobility House’s smart charging and energy management system, ChargePilot®, coordinates charging with the microgrid by optimizing the buses’ charging schedules based on route blocks and energy demands, ensuring vehicle readiness. This holistic solution allows the depot to continue operating in the event of a grid outage.
Apart from these projects The Mobility House has been working with AlphaStruxure since 2021 in the role of their technology partner for Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) offerings in North America in 2021. Since them The Mobility House's smart Charging and Energy Management system ChargePilot® has been integrated into AlphaStruxure's EaaS systems, in coordination with the Schneider microgrid controller and software. For fleet operators, the partnership provides a complete solution with no acquisition cost (CAPEX), provided on a dollar per kWh basis.
