ClipperCreek, Jetlun team up to offer smart grid capable electric vehicle chargers

/
Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment manufacturer ClipperCreek, Inc. has teamed with Jetlun Corporation, an energy management solutions provider for homes and businesses, to offer a smart grid capable EVSE that allows charging station owners to access and control numerous features remotely. Jetlun's Intelligent Management (JIM) system monitors the EVSE's energy usage, enables remote on/off switching and allows consumers to track charging progress.

Basically, the idea here is to allow charging stations owners and utility companies to communicate with the EVSE to remotely optimize charging schedules to coincide with off-peak energy rates. In this way, ClipperCreek's pairing with Jetlun is rather similar to Ecotality's partnership with Cisco.

Jetlun's JIM technology will be integrated into ClipperCreek's UL-listed CS-40 Level 2 charging station and its LCS-20 residential charging unit that retails for $1,650.
