Under the partnership, SolarEdge’s hardware and EV charging software will be integrated into Schaeffler’s infrastructure, enabling employees and fleet drivers to charge their vehicles at company locations. The initiative begins with the newly electrified parking lot at Schaeffler’s Technology Center at its global headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Powered by SolarEdge’s Wevo technology, now part of the advanced ONE for C&I energy optimisation platform, the solution aims to provide a seamless charging experience for employees, including a dedicated app.
