The user-friendly approach empowers EV drivers and fosters wider adoption of electric vehicles.
Optimizing EV Charging Reliability: Driivz Leads the Discussion at EVCS
Driivz solidified its position as an EV charging technology leader by participating in a panel discussion on charger reliability at the recent EV Charging Summit & Expo (EVCS). This premier event, held from March 20th to 22nd, showcased the booming EV charging industry, with a surge of new hardware vendors, particularly those focused on American-made solutions. Driivz’s participation at EVCS underlines its commitment to driving innovation and collaboration within the EV charging landscape.
Key Takeaways from Driivz’s Panel on EV Charger Reliability
- Collaboration is Key to a Thriving EV Ecosystem: The panel emphasized the intricate network of suppliers involved in EV charging infrastructure. Collaboration across these stakeholders is crucial to enhancing overall efficiency and maximizing return on investment (ROI) for the industry.
- Open Standards Pave the Way for Progress: Driivz champions open standards like the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) as the foundation for a unified language across diverse charging systems. OCPP 2.0.1 builds upon this foundation by supporting features like ISO 15118 plug-and-charge functionality and offering more granular charger error codes.
- High Network Availability: The Cornerstone of a Seamless Experience: Driivz prioritizes exceptional network availability, achieving an impressive 99.9% uptime. This translates to significant benefits for their customers, with some large CPOs experiencing uptime exceeding 98.5% at the port level.
- Beware of Misleading Practices: OCPP Interoperability Matters: The discussion addressed the issue of misleading claims by some vendors who advertise OCPP compliance but restrict customer choice by limiting provider switching. Driivz emphasizes the importance of OCPP interoperability, empowering customers to select the optimal solution and ensuring a reliable business partnership.
