Smartcar provides a unified API that lets developers connect apps to vehicles across many brands. It enables access to data and controls such as EV battery level, fuel life, tire pressure, VIN, and other vehicle attributes. By offering one API instead of integrating with each automaker, it simplifies onboarding and fleet-scale development for industries like car sharing, fleet management, auto insurance, EV charging networks, and on-demand services. The goal is to enable cross-brand vehicle data access and capabilities so services can manage fleets and power smarter mobility solutions.

Friday, 15 November 2024Emulate aims to offer energy providers a comprehensive solution to simplify onboarding and management of different consumer distributed energy resources (DERs). The company is focused on enabling energy providers to harness the power of EVs as a valuable energy resource by expanding its EV support to a wider range of models.Smartcar will help Emulate automate EV data retrieval to optimise charging schedules based on different pricing factors. Consumers will be able to set their preferred charging preferences using the software and have peace of mind knowing Emulate will handle the rest.Reliable EV integrations are crucial for enabling this convenience and giving consumers a single platform to enroll and manage different devices.“Emulate aspires to connect to and control every energy device possible” said Blake Davis, Senior Director of US Operations at Emulate. “While controls and market participation are our bread-and-butter, for EVs specifically, Smartcar makes it super easy to connect to vehicles regardless of manufacturer and model.”Emulate’s decision to partner with Smartcar was driven by the need for a reliable and scalable solution that they could implement quickly without straining engineering resources. Smartcar focuses on accurate and timely action, such as retrieving an EV’s state of charge and automatically starting and stopping charging sessions. It is compatible with over 35 EV brands and will be able to seamlessly integrate into Emulate’s out-of-the-box vehicle onboarding solution.Smartcar’s developer tools and webhooks will also make it easy for Emulate’s engineering team to receive data at a regular cadence while reducing server loads, reducing latency, and ensuring the timeliness and accuracy of charging data.“Emulate’s commitment to energy flexibility and reliability aligns perfectly with Smartcar’s mission” added Sahas Katta, CEO and Co-founder at Smartcar
