BMW, Ford, Honda Begin Operations of Vehicle-Grid Integration Joint Venture ChargeScape; Name CEO
The following story is brought free of charge to readers by VertexOne, the exclusive EDI provider of EnergyChoiceMatters.com
BMW, Ford and Honda have begun operations of a previously announced joint venture, named ChargeScape, which provides various vehicle-to-grid and related services, and have appointed a CEO and CTO
ChargeScape is a software platform that integrates electric vehicles (EVs) into the power grid, by wirelessly connecting to electric vehicles, and, working with participating utilities, manages the flow of electrons in line with real-time grid conditions, temporarily reducing demand when the grid is constrained through smart charging (V1G) and sending energy back into the power grid when needed (V2G).
EV drivers have the potential to be rewarded financially for their flexibility and always have their vehicle charged by the time they specify, the automakers said
Following the official launch of the joint venture, BMW, Ford and Honda announced the appointment of ChargeScape's first CEO, Joseph Vellone.
Bringing 15 years of experience in the energy and climate sectors, Vellone was most recently part of the founding team at software start-up ev.energy, where he launched and grew the company's North America business to include over a dozen utilities and 150,000 EVs.
Newly appointed ChargeScape Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Kalidindi Raju has over 15 years of experience leading technology organizations and has experience in cloud architecture, artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, data engineering and product development. He previously held senior leadership positions at Amazon, OATI and other tech companies.
