LOCATE EV is a cloud-based platform that integrates critical datasets and proprietary intelligence to create a revolutionary Electric Vehicle Chargepoint (EVCP) network planning tool. Specifically designed for the UK, this platform, known as LOCATE EV, aims to streamline the EVCP deployment process by digitalising labour-intensive site survey and verification procedures.
By utilising LOCATE EV, infrastructure stakeholders can swiftly model and test various EVCP deployment scenarios, contributing to the acceleration of the EV charging point rollout across Britain.
Char.gy, a key player in the partnership, will be deploying tier 1 of LOCATE EV to expedite the deployment of EV charging points. With a commitment to supporting the transition to a net-zero future, char.gy has strategic plans to further customise the platform to continually enhance its network planning and management competencies.
“Planning charging networks is complex, mission-critical business process for a public charging operator like char.gy. Poor location decisions can doom the long-term viability of a charging provider, especially as it grows. As the UK’s public charging market scales up at an increasing pace, this strategic partnership improves our ability to plan larger networks faster and with greater confidence. This not only reduces risk for our business, it makes us a better long-term partner for councils. So by combining the expertise of char.gy and the innovative capabilities of LOCATE EV, we are confident in our ability to reshape the future of electric mobility in the UK for everyone not the few.” said Lee Cobb, Head of Partnership Solutions at char.gy
Geospatial Insight, the UK’s leading provider of clean energy geospatial solutions, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration. “Geospatial Insight is excited to partner with char.gy in implementing LOCATE EV. The ground breaking capabilities of LOCATE EV align perfectly with our commitment to sustainable and efficient solutions for the future of transportation,” stated Dave Fox, CEO of Geospatial Insight.
This partnership not only marks a significant step towards a greener and more sustainable future but also highlights the collaborative efforts of industry leaders in driving positive change in the electric mobility sector.
