The ChargePoint network and Stem, an AI-driven clean energy solutions provider, have agreed to join forces and put artificial intelligence behind EV charging. They aim for lower operating costs and added energy resiliency at charging hubs and locating new sites.
ChargePoint will analyse the EV charging demand at sites looking to install DC chargers and assess their eligibility for incentive programs—including the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI). The work with Stem will then help to determine if a battery energy storage system may reduce the operating costs at the site.
This integration of battery storage is key here since it also includes possibilities to pair charging with solar installations on-site, for example, and help to protect the grid. There is also the option to power up…
