As the report notes, managed charging specialists like ev.energy are at the forefront of harnessing the game-changing potential of EVs, a task requiring sophisticated technology and strategic customer engagement.

Key Report Highlights

EV-Centric Leadership Across the Full Value Stack

The report's recognition cements ev.energy's position as the leading provider of managed charging deployments in North America, and highlights how the ev.energy Platform is uniquely designed to deliver up to $575 in annual utility cost savings across the full 6-layer cost-avoidance stack—from distribution and transmission to generation capacity and beyond. By treating EVs as the essential, flexible building block of a VPP, ev.energy enables utilities and energy companies to unlock a comprehensive range of benefits, ensuring EVs are not just a load on the grid but a powerful resource to support grid stability, modernization, and lowering customer bills.

Global Scale, Versatile Partnerships

Wood Mackenzie’s report also spotlights ev.energy’s global scale and versatile platform. Unlike competitors focused on specific niches, ev.energy has demonstrated its ability to deploy and scale across diverse markets. The company partners with a variety of energy companies, from regulated utilities like Con Edison in the U.S.—home to America’s largest managed charging program with over 27,500 enrollments—to energy retailers like TXU in Texas and ANWB Energie in the Netherlands. This highlights ev.energy's proven ability to unlock value and enable scale for any energy company, regardless of their business model or geographic location.

The Power of an Open Ecosystem

The report highlights a key point of differentiation for ev.energy: its commitment to the Open Charge approach. This strategy stands in stark contrast to the "walled garden" model favored by some competitors, championing an open ecosystem built on reliability, accessibility, and choice. It’s this philosophy that allows ev.energy to connect with 33+ vehicle brands and 9 charger brands, enabling the broad reach needed for true program scale and equity. By supporting over 85% of EV drivers in the U.S. and 80% in Europe, the company's approach is creating a more resilient and affordable grid for every ratepayer.

“We’re honored to be featured in Wood Mackenzie's report and celebrated for our leadership in managed charging,” said Nick Woolley, CEO and Co-Founder of ev.energy. “EVs are the most dynamic and scalable resource on the grid, and we’re already seeing how our open, flexible, and comprehensive approach is enabling utilities and energy retailers to truly leverage their full potential. This recognition reinforces our commitment to building a future where every EV is a valuable part of the energy transition, and every driver can participate.”
