RSS4943 Airbiquity, a specialist in connected vehicle services, and 4824 Coulomb Technologies, the creator of the 4825 ChargePoint Network, have announced a joint partnership to integrate the ChargePoint Network’s driver services into Airbiquity’s Green Vehicle service portfolio.
Using Airbiquity’s connected vehicle service delivery platform, Choreo, the two companies will make ChargePoint Network driver services available to Airbiquity EV customers, including station location, real-time availability and reservations. The ChargePoint Network services make it simple for drivers to find the nearest unoccupied station from wherever they are and even reserve those stations, helping to alleviate range anxiety and driving EV adoption.

Airbiquity’s Choreo is a global, scalable infrastructure for deploying a wide variety of connected vehicle services customised to each automaker’s requirements. EV owners will be able to use desktop and mobile web portals, smart phone apps and in-vehicle systems to locate and reserve charging stations on the ChargePoint Network.

“The Airbiquity-Coulomb partnership extends the reach and benefits of ChargePoint Network to the inside of the vehicle,” said Bret Sewell, executive vice president, Coulomb. “Leading drivers to available stations is critical not only to drivers but also to the independent charging services providers around the world whose stations are searchable and findable on ChargePoint Network.”
