💡 Our Head of Business Development, Shana Patadia, recently contributed a compelling article for Smart Energy International on how the sharing economy could be the key to overcoming the infrastructure challenges of commercial EV adoption. 🤝 As Shana highlights , "Considering the extensive infrastructure needed to support the commercial EV transition, could a software-supported sharing economy help sustainably accelerate adoption? Leveraging shared resources to overcome the financial and logistical barriers that fleets face might offer a viable path forward." Her insights are a great read. Check out the full article to explore how innovative solutions like shared charging depots can help us build a more sustainable future.🌍⚡ https://lnkd.in/gnF6mJfM

🌟 Our team had an exciting day last week attending CALSTART’s Zero-Emissions Showcase + Ride and Drive in Oakland! 🌟 A few of our engineers were able to explore the latest in electrically powered equipment, test drive some cutting-edge EVs, and connect with fellow industry professionals. Our own Milo Toor (with no prior experience) was very close to grabbing the tennis ball using the Bobcat Company e10e! It was inspiring to see the innovation driving the future of transportation and energy. A big thank you to CALSTART for hosting such an impactful event!

The energy at Holman EMERGE was amazing! As always, I gained immense value from the time spent learning from startups, investors, partners, and friends. It was a day of inspiration and vision for the future. A big thank you to our esteemed panel guests for demystifying the topic of energy management and sparking dreams of opportunities beyond the plug. Looking forward to what’s next! 🔌 🔋 Cole Rosson - ev.energy Andrew Blejde - Synop Russell Vare - The Mobility House Holman #Holman #EMERGE #energymanagement #energyfuture

Understanding where V2G fits in the #energymanagement ecosystem can be confusing. But, in one of our earlier podcast episodes, Zach Doll, our Energy Engineering Lead, details it flawlessly! Zach shares why school buses are this sector's biggest and most successful participants– huge batteries, predictable schedules, and long, restful summers. 🚌 🌴 What about consumer and residential settings? Is it also possible? “It depends on the schedules and the flexibility participants on the grid can have. Yet, for fleets that aren’t heavily used, for example, V2G could even help pay for itself while also being an energy storage solution for the power grid.” Win-win! ⚡ Hear more of what Zach had to share on the topic and more by listening to our podcast! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d94YD5Wq

Excited to see our CEO, Gagan Dhillon, speaking on the "Behind the Plug: Energy Management Demystified" panel at Holman's Emerge 2024 event tomorrow, Wednesday, August 14th at 9:50am! 🔌⚡️ Joining Gagan on the panel will be Cole Rosson from ev.energy and Russell Vare from The Mobility House, moderated by Emily Graham of Holman. Can't wait to hear insights on the future of energy management. Thanks to the Holman team for putting together another great event! https://lnkd.in/e4kJRJaA

Thank you Alan Adler & FreightWaves for spotlighting Synop in his latest piece. Our software is empowering electric commercial fleets to succeed, with innovative features like Vehicle-to-Grid technology. “We are telling an energy management-for-fleets story where you have all these big battery packs and these vehicles,” Dhillon told me. “How do you manage that energy? How do you pull energy from different sources that drain the grid, and then send that energy back to the grid?” - Gagan Dhillon Can find the full interview in the link below! ⚡ ⚡⚡ https://lnkd.in/ehgXXrCj

In the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicle (EV) fleet management, choosing the right charging hardware can be a daunting task. At Synop, we recognize this challenge and have developed a solution: The Works With Synop Program (https://lnkd.in/e4B5err9). Hardware-software interoperability remains one of the greatest pain points in the EV industry, especially for commercial fleets. While OCPP compliance has been a step forward, it's not a complete solution. Fleet operators need the flexibility to mix and match providers without sacrificing ease of use and performance. Introducing Works With Synop: Our Works With Synop program addresses the interoperability issue head-on. We collaborate deeply with integrated partners to break down silos between fleet operators, hardware, and software. This program ensures: 🔗 Seamless integration between hardware and software 📞 Well-defined support channels 🤝 Coordinated approach to firmware updates 🔄 Thorough integration testing at our Charge Lab in Brooklyn, NY Current Partnerships: Synop currently integrates with over 26 EVSEs and more than 90 hardware models. Our certified Works with Synop partners include industry leaders like BorgWarner, Zerova Technologies USA, Power Electronics, and Samsung C&T Corporation. Benefits for Fleet Operators: 💆♂️ Stress-free hardware selection process 📖 Smooth onboarding experience ⚡ Enhanced support and transparency 🏃♂️ Faster deployment with pre-installed SIM cards 📈 Confidence in scaling operations Are you interested in learning more about Works With Synop and how we can support your EV fleet?

🚀 Forbes spoke to our CEO & Co-Founder, Gagan Dhillon on his thoughts around the potential of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and the pivotal role electric school buses play in this revolution! 🌱 In the article, Gagan highlights how electric school buses, with their large batteries and predictable use patterns, are perfect for V2G applications. These buses can send energy back to the grid during peak demand, acting as a 'virtual power plant' and helping to balance the energy supply. To date, Synop has sent over 40 MWh of energy back to the grid with the help of electric school buses, and we're just getting started! Read the full article to learn more about how Synop and other industry leaders are driving this change for a cleaner, more sustainable future. Thank you Jamie Hailstone for telling the story, and shout out to the industry experts who shared their insights: Melody Reis , Almeta E. Cooper, Vanessa Lynch @ Moms Clean Air Force, Mike Finnern @ WSP, and Christopher Dean @ Dean Transportation https://ift.tt/GDOJ8y0

📢 We're excited to share that Synop was a supporting sponsor of North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE)'s Run On Less - Electric Depot (RoL-E DEPOT) report! 🚛⚡️ This groundbreaking initiative by NACFE demonstrated the efficacy of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in commercial operations, showcasing three weeks of data from 22 BEVs operating across 10 depots in New York, British Columbia, and California. The report includes organizations such as Prologis, Frito-Lay, PepsiCo, UPS, US Foods and more. Our participation allowed us to contribute valuable data, reinforcing the benefits of commercial EVs and furthering the national discourse on emissions reduction, equity, inclusion, investment, and efficiency.

#V2GSummer Series continues with a new update! 🌞 The summer heat is relentless, and the grid is working hard to keep up. At Synop, we're rising to the challenge by providing crucial energy support. From 7/8 to 7/22, we transmitted an impressive 13 MWh of energy back to the grid across 10 different locations in multiple regions when the grid needed it the most. 🔋💪 To put this into perspective: - 13 MWh is enough to power approximately 10,000 homes or the electricity needs of Park City, Utah, for an hour. Imagine having the capability to deliver resilient energy to entire cities in their moment of need. As temperatures climb, such support is crucial for maintaining grid stability and ensuring reliable power during peak demand. Stay tuned for more updates in our #V2GSummer Series as we continue to showcase the impact of our innovative solutions and how we’re supporting our communities through extreme weather conditions. Follow Synop to see how we're making a difference! 🌍⚡️ #V2G #Synop
