PowerFlex and SKIDATA Announce Strategic Partnership to Streamline EV Charging and Parking Experiences

SAN DIEGO, CA – PowerFlex, a clean technology solution company, announced a new partnership with SKIDATA, a global leader in parking management and payment solutions. This collaboration revolutionizes the experience for EV drivers by seamlessly integrating parking and charging payment processes into a unified system.

With the integration enabled by the Open Charge PointInterface (OCPI) protocol, drivers at SKIDATA-managed parking locations can now enjoy a streamlined process:

• Find a Spot: Park in any space equipped with a PowerFlex EV charger and plug in.

• Start Charging: Initiate the charging session at a SKIDATA eSelector by scanning the parking ticket or entering the license plate number.

• Pay and Exit: A single transaction covers both parking and charging fees, with a combined itemized receipt provided.

This partnership eliminates the need for separate apps or payment systems, ensuring convenience for users and efficiency for site hosts, who benefit from simplified operations and unified reporting.

Driving Efficiency and Scalability with Adaptive Load Management

PowerFlex’sAdaptive Load Management® (ALM) technology dynamically optimizes charging sessions, allowing site operators to charge more vehicles simultaneously without costly electrical infrastructure upgrades. With over 35,000 EV chargers already operating on the PowerFlex X platform, PowerFlex’s proven capabilities ensure cost-effective and reliable infrastructure at scale.
