Driivz Launches Comprehensive Energy Management System to Transform EV Charging Economics and Grid Integration

Key Terms

energy management system technical

An energy management system is a technology that monitors, controls, and optimizes how energy is used within a building or facility. Think of it as a smart thermostat that helps save energy and reduce costs by making sure electricity, heating, and cooling are used efficiently. For investors, it matters because it can lower expenses, improve sustainability, and support long-term value in organizations focused on energy efficiency.

dynamic load balancing technical

A system that distributes computing work across multiple servers or resources in real time so no single machine becomes overloaded, like a traffic cop routing cars to keep flows moving smoothly. For investors, it matters because it helps ensure digital services — trading platforms, payment systems, regulatory reporting or customer-facing apps — stay fast, reliable and cost-efficient; failures or slowdowns can harm revenue, user trust and regulatory compliance.

demand charge mitigation technical

Demand charge mitigation are methods businesses use to lower the extra fees utilities charge for their highest moments of electricity use — think of it like avoiding rush-hour tolls by spreading or cutting your energy ‘traffic’ at peak times. Techniques include shifting energy use to off-peak hours, using on-site power or batteries, and enrolling in utility programs; for investors, it matters because lower demand charges can meaningfully reduce operating costs, improve cash flow, and change the economics of energy projects or companies that sell these services.

demand response programs technical

Demand response programs pay electricity users or adjust their consumption automatically to reduce power use during peak periods, helping balance supply and demand and avoid blackouts. For investors, these programs can lower operating costs for large users, create revenue streams for technology and service providers, and change utilities’ capital needs—think of it like traffic control that eases rush-hour congestion to keep the system running smoothly.

frequency regulation technical

Frequency regulation is a process that helps maintain the stability of an electrical grid's power supply by adjusting the output of power sources to keep the overall system's frequency steady. It’s similar to how a thermostat keeps a room at a consistent temperature by making small adjustments. For investors, reliable frequency regulation ensures a stable and efficient electricity supply, which is essential for the smooth operation of many industries and markets.

microgrids technical

A microgrid is a small, localized electricity system that can operate connected to the main power grid or independently, like a neighborhood having its own backup power plant. For investors, microgrids matter because they can reduce energy costs, improve reliability during outages, enable sale of surplus power or grid services, and benefit from policy incentives — all of which can create steady revenue streams and lower operating risk for businesses and communities.

battery storage technical

Battery storage is a system that stores electricity in large rechargeable batteries so power can be used later, like a reusable fuel tank for the grid. Investors care because it smooths out when energy is available vs. when it’s needed, can lower costs, create new revenue from selling stored power at peak times, and reduce reliance on unpredictable energy sources, affecting utility and clean-energy company valuations.

renewable energy technical

Sources of power that come from naturally replenishing resources—such as sunlight, wind, flowing water, and geothermal heat—rather than fuels that can run out. Investors care because renewable energy can reduce long-term fuel costs, lower regulatory and climate risk, and create growing markets for technology and infrastructure; think of it like putting money into a well that refills itself rather than a one-time fuel tank, offering steadier long-term returns and different risk profiles.

The new, end-to-end solution drives EV charging network profitability by improving energy efficiency and generating revenue from grid services without costly infrastructure upgrades

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Driivz, a Vontier (NYSE: VNT) company and leading global software supplier to electric vehicle (EV) charging operators and service providers, today announced the launch of its comprehensive Energy Management System (EMS), marking a significant advancement in how charging operators optimize site performance and profitability. Following the successful integration of Sparkion technologies, the new system delivers unprecedented control over energy flows at charging sites through intelligent orchestration of grid power, renewable energy, battery storage and electric vehicles.

Driivz launches its comprehensive Energy Management System (EMS), marking a significant advancement in how charging operators optimize site performance and profitability.

Designed for flexibility and scale, Driivz’s EMS pairs local and cloud-based controls to unlock site capacity, maximize energy resilience, and boost profitability across individual sites and nationwide networks without costly electrical infrastructure upgrades.

"The evolution of EV charging requires more than just connecting vehicles to power. It demands intelligent energy management that balances operational efficiency, cost control and grid reliability," said Shiri Levi-Laor, CEO of Driivz. "Our new Energy Management System represents a fundamental shift in how operators can approach charging infrastructure, enabling them to scale profitably without massive capital investments while simultaneously supporting grid stabilization and sustainability goals."

Maximizing Site Capacity and Revenue

One of the most pressing challenges operators face is a limited electrical capacity at EV charging sites. Through the system’s real-time dynamic load balancing and power assist capabilities, Driivz’s EMS can charge up to six times as many EVs at a single site without grid upgrades. By intelligently sharing available capacity and supplementing grid power with on-site battery storage and renewables, operators can deliver faster charging, while improving driver experience and increasing revenue.

Reducing Energy Costs While Accelerating Charging

The platform's static and dynamic demand charge mitigation capabilities enable operators to deliver faster charging while staying within demand charge limits. By adjusting power allocation in real-time and integrating renewable energy and battery storage during high-cost, peak periods, operators can significantly improve profitability while maintaining superior service levels.

Creating New Revenue Streams from Energy Services

Driivz’s EMS transforms charging sites into flexible energy assets that can participate in utility and grid programs to create recurring revenue opportunities. The system intelligently manages energy from batteries, renewables and connected EVs to support demand response programs, provide frequency regulation and reserve capacity and enable bidding on energy markets.

Ensuring Resilience and Operational Continuity

Driivz’s EMS maintains service continuity even through outages or limited internet connectivity. The system provides backup power during high demand periods and enables sites to function as independent microgrids during outages, ensuring stable operations under any conditions.

Optimizing Fleet Operations

Driivz’s EMS also enables EV fleet operators to prioritize charging based on state of charge, battery capacity, and departure schedules, ensuring vehicle readiness while minimizing costs and maximizing depot charger utilization.

Advancing Sustainability

By maximizing renewable energy use across networks and reducing carbon footprints, Driivz’s EMS enables operators to achieve sustainability commitments while improving profitability, proving that environmental responsibility and business success go hand in hand.
