Sector coupling is the intelligent integration and control of multiple energy areas, namely electricity, heating and mobility. Since being founded in 2015, go-e has become a key provider of private charging in Germany and Austria, and is currently Germany’s market leader in the field of home charging. This led grid-X to consider go-e as an ideal partner to further strengthen the ‘Ready for gridX’ ecosystem.
gridX’s EMS platform, XENON, enables energy suppliers to offer their end customers comprehensive, smart energy solutions that minimise costs and maximise control. As part of the new cooperation, the models ‘go-e Charger PRO CABLE’, ‘go-e Charger Gemini (2.0)’, ‘go-e Charger Gemini flex (2.0)’ in all power variants, and ‘go-e Charger HOMEfix 11 kW’ are integrated into XENON.
Certification under the ‘Ready for gridX’ label guarantees the benefits provided by the smart energy management system: reliable interoperability and optimised control of charging stations in conjunction with other devices and the power grid.
For go-e, the collaboration, will mean faster scaling in the smart home energy market and access to exclusive sales channels, while gridX customers will benefit from the seamless connection to one of the most popular electric car charging stations: they are easy to commission, and deliver error-free performance in the long term. End customers, in turn, benefit from a secure and stable connection that ensures automatically optimised energy usage.
“With the expansion of ‘Ready for gridX’ to electric vehicle charging stations, we are breaking new ground” said Robert van der Meulen, Head of Growth Services & Partnerships at gridX. “The spectacular start with the company with the largest market share in Germany is a clear sign of the enormous potential we see in the field of smart charging of electric cars at home. This partnership is an important step toward enabling end customers to manage their energy efficiently, securely and in a future-proof manner.”
The partnership between gridX and go-e is designed for the long term and marks a strategic milestone in the market expansion of both companies. The integration of go-e’s market-leading charging solutions is a decisive step toward expanding gridX’s own technology portfolio and further strengthening its role as an enabler of the energy transition. The introduction of plug-and-play commissioning is planned for the coming months, which will simplify the installation process and further maximise the benefits for end customers.
“The cooperation with gridX allows us to place the advantages of our charging stations even more strongly in the context of holistic energy management” added Erik Yesayan, CEO/CFO of go-e. “We exclusively produce smart charging stations that enable a sustainable, cost-optimised and grid-friendly transition to e-mobility. According to market studies, go-e chargers combine the three most frequently requested features in wallboxes: smart functionality, tested quality, and a fair price.”
With the expansion of the ‘Ready for gridX’ ecosystem, both companies are driving forward the holistic management of energy flows in the home.
