The partnership between Kraken and Hypervolt marks a significant advancement in the digitalization of energy and electric vehicle (EV) charging. Kraken, a cutting-edge platform specializing in utility digitalization, has teamed up with Hypervolt, one of the top-rated EV charging brands on TrustPilot. This collaboration integrates Hypervolt’s EV chargers with Kraken’s AI-powered platform, enabling customers to charge their vehicles using low-cost, clean energy when it is most abundant. The entire process is automated through Kraken’s technology, providing an optimized and eco-friendly charging experience. Kraken’s Smartflex product, in particular, leverages machine learning to monitor the grid in real-time, allowing energy companies to reduce peak energy demand and lower costs and emissions for all consumers, not just EV drivers.
The partnership promises substantial savings, especially in the UK, where Kraken has already helped EV drivers save hundreds of pounds annually. By using Octopus Energy’s smart tariffs, EV drivers can save up to £600 a year compared to standard tariffs, and even more compared to conventional petrol cars. Hypervolt, launched in 2021 and one of the fastest-growing clean tech companies in the UK, further enhances this collaboration by providing a seamless experience for customers who use both its chargers and Enphase Energy’s solar and home-battery systems. Leaders from both companies have expressed excitement about the partnership’s potential to accelerate the energy transition and make EV ownership more sustainable, accessible, and cost-effective.
