PowerD is a joint venture between LeasePlan Corporation and Faraday Keys. PowerD takes a leading role in the energy transition by increasing the share of renewable energy in cars and households.

SCOPE: Entering new markets

The changing mobility and energy ecosystem provide ample opportunities for entering new markets. Electric cars can be leveraged to store renewable energy and charge whenever prices and CO2 are optimal.

DEFINE: Smart charging for EV fleets

Grid operators are facing serious challenges to manage the energy demand. Especially with the growth of electric driving. Smart charging electric vehicles offers a way to balance the energy grid and increase the use of renewable energy for charging.

DEVELOP: Making EV charging green, profitable and controllable

We developed a solution to make EV fleets green and controllable for the customer, and profitable for the driver.
