Data analytics and managed charging powerhouses
provide grid reliability and unlock cost savings for utilities, EV
drivers, and fleet managers, boosting the adoption of programs and
technologies required to decarbonize transportation.
Today, Rhythmos.io and FlexCharging have partnered to expand
access to distribution system-optimized managed charging and asset
management for utilities and electric vehicle (EV) owners. This
collaboration between Rhythmos.io, a cutting-edge artificial
intelligence and machine learning data analytics company, offers
great potential for enhancing utility-managed and fleet charging
programs. Rhythmos.io and FlexCharging continue to bolster their
network of partners to expand EV charging solutions and offer
utilities, drivers, and fleet managers smart charging technology
that will accelerate EV adoption.

Power consumption is projected to triple by 2050, and the mix of
renewables will likely double in the next 15 years. As electricity
demands and non-dispatchable renewable sources that cannot be
turned on and off like traditional energy sources increase,
integrations between Rhythmos.io and FlexCharging become
increasingly essential tools for utilities to manage the power
system. Rhythmos.io software optimizes EV charging to align with
high renewable energy availability periods to ensure ongoing
electric grid reliability while keeping preferences and controls at
a driver’s fingertips.
Rhythmos.io continues building its partnership ecosystem by
collaborating with EV charging equipment and service providers, EV
manufacturers, and utilities to ensure electric system reliability.
“By forming this partnership with FlexCharging, we are bringing EV
stakeholders together to accelerate innovation and help prevent
grid reliability challenges before they happen,” said Kenneth
Munson, Rhythmos.io CEO. “This is precisely the type of
cutting-edge partnership Rhythmos.io seeks to foster. It further
shows how Rhythmos.io bridges between utility, vehicle
manufacturer, and charging infrastructure ecosystems to enable more
seamless and timely EV adoption,” he added.
FlexCharging has developed its patented Adaptive PollingTM
system that addresses critical shortcomings of other telematics
providers, namely, lost data and poor customer experience. “These
shortcomings were recently featured in a New York Public Service
Commission filing by National Grid,” stated Rhythmos.io Chief
Operating Officer Mark Rawson. “FlexCharging is bringing more
advanced technology to market to improve smart charging performance
for utilities and EV drivers that will improve the driver
experience and increase driver retention in utility charging
programs,” he added.
Rhythmos.io and FlexCharging are expanding throughout North
America. The partnership offers complete turnkey
distribution-optimized managed charging programs for utilities that
provide customer program design, customer recruitment, and easy and
intuitive driver and utility dashboards for grid-aware active
managed charging solutions that utilities seek. Their integrated
solution goes beyond traditional managed charging solutions offered
by others that do not address grid constraints for utilities. EV
drivers plug in their vehicles, and Rhythmos.io Cadency EdgeAISM
cloud-based software will optimize when charging occurs to align
with times of low grid stress and high renewable energy
availability, helping to reduce the impact on the electric grid and
the environment while saving money.
“FlexCharging saves EV drivers money on time-of-use rates,
maximizes the use of clean energy through carbon-optimized
charging, and empowers solar owners to drive on sunlight. What's
exciting about Rhythmos.io is their ability to understand the
effects of electric vehicles and distributed energy resources at
the utility transformer, feeder, and substation level,” said Brian
Grunkemeyer, FlexCharging founder and CEO. “Their analytical
solutions allow utilities to detect EV charging through advanced
metering infrastructure, characterize how energy is being used
today and how that impacts utility assets, and optimize charging to
protect utility assets and reduce grid constraints,” he added.
“They easily integrate into our charging management system to
provide utilities an easy and straightforward comprehensive
solution.”
As the transportation sector electrifies, the electric grid must
be prepared. Collaboration, innovation, and information sharing are
critical to successfully meeting future demands. FlexCharging and
Rhythmos.io are committed to working together to unify their
efforts to advance electric transportation goals.
