Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management, offers residential and commercial electric vehicle charging solutions. Available immediately, the EVlink™ residential electric vehicle (EV) charger is a simple, easy-to-install, and user-friendly solution for recharging vehicles at home.
By 2015, Pike Research* forecasts that more than one million plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and EVs will be sold annually around the world, and during that year, more than three million EVs will be plugging in to recharge their batteries. Schneider Electric is addressing the growing demand for EV infrastructure by introducing a complete solution from one provider. Schneider Electric’s total EV solution includes a comprehensive line of residential, commercial, and fast-charging EV chargers, as well as installation and maintenance services from electrical contractors certified through a new Schneider Electric training program. To complete the in-home EV solution, homeowners and electric utility providers can manage the additional electrical load their EV’s will add by incorporating Schneider Electric’s recently launched Wiser™ Energy Management System, which promotes active energy management and efficiency.
