RENEWABLE & GREEN ENERGY
As Joe explains , despite the crucial role played by charging stations , the need for secure software to manage them should not be overlooked . This is paramount thanks to the digital nature of EVs – where there is communication between the vehicle and the charger to keep it secure – and , as Joe continues , another layer between the driver and the app or payment service authenticating the charger .
For example , WiFi is necessary to connect a car to a charging system and share relevant and necessary information . The same applies to Bluetooth and apps that help people interact with cars and charging infrastructure . Because of this , Joe asserts that drivers and fleet managers need to manage charging easily and securely from anywhere , without worrying about their data being at risk .
Joe and , more broadly , ChargePoint , believe technology plays a crucial role in transforming the EV space . Not only does it underpin the functionality of EVs and charging stations but also ensures secure , reliable and flexible charging management .
As many are continuing to expand their adoption of AI to strengthen their offerings , solutions or products , ChargePoint and the EV charging sector are doing the same .
Joe continues : “ The function of EVs and chargers is founded on digital platforms . Technology compatible leaders in the industry , therefore , need to stay ahead of the latest advancements and customer demands .
