Electric Miles is a cleantech company developing the worlds most intelligent Internet of Energy (IoE) electric vehicle charging solution. We connect EV and home batteries with the best computer intelligence to help users save energy costs, be more efficient, and reduce overall energy.
Electric Miles works with EV charger manufacturers and retailers providing a comprehensive EV charge management solution. Our consumer Smart Charge app(part of the charge management solution) enables us to provide an energy flexibility service to the National and Local Grids, who pay us, to aggregate and schedule the demand from these EV charger assets to reduce the strain on the Grid. We share the value with our customers and EV drivers.
Vision - Our Internet of Energy platform will serve and reduce the strain on the Grid as a Virtual Power Plant by orchestrating and enabling Distributed Energy Assets (DEA) to store energy when it’s cheapest and to use it or sell it when the price is highest as well as rewarding asset owners for participation.
Mission - Our goal is to coordinate the charging, aggregating, and discharging of these DEAs. Beginning with EV batteries and expanding to home batteries, solar panels, and home heating, our aim is to optimise the value of their energy trades and provide value to the entire system.
