The collaboration will enable seamless in-vehicle charge session initiation and payment for EV chargers using the EV Connect platform.

TYSONS CORNER, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, August 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Sheeva.AI, a global leader in in-vehicle payments and services, and EV Connect, a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging business platform, today announced a collaboration to bring the SheevaConnect™ premium in-car payment experience to EV Connect chargepoint operator (CPO) customers and EV drivers everywhere.

The collaboration will enable drivers to easily find, navigate, initiate, and pay for EV charging services directly through the vehicle's infotainment system.

“The goal is to make it quick, easy and safe for drivers to activate a charger and pay for the charging event from the comfort of their own vehicles, and this collaboration delivers on that vision,” said Evgeny Klochikhin, Founder and CEO of Sheeva. AI. “We can all see the growth in the numbers of EVs on the roads and the challenges with the public charging experience today. This collaboration can solve a lot of these problems and help drivers enjoy their electric vehicles wherever they go.”

This expansion into the EV charging customer experience follows Sheeva.AI’s announcement last month of a similar partnership to enable fueling with energy retailing clients of P97 Networks LLC, as well as an announcement earlier this spring that drivers of the Citroën C3 Aircross SUV can purchase fuel at thousands of gas stations throughout India, allowing payment, pump activation, digital receipts, and rewards points accrual all from inside the car.

“Making EV charging simpler and faster are goals we share with Sheeva.AI, and this collaboration delivers another way to improve the EV driver experience,” said Cassie Layton, vice president of strategy and marketing at EV Connect. “Working with companies like Sheeva.AI adds another innovative method for in-vehicle payment and charger activation for EV Connect customers and EV drivers.”

Since its production launch with Citroën earlier this year, Sheeva.AI has been preparing for trials with other automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers globally slated to take place during the second half of 2024. To date, Sheeva.AI has mapped more than 3 million service points—including fuel pumps, EV chargers, and parking spaces—around the world.
