Electric Avenue Responds to Enel X’s Exit from North American Market with a Call for Open-Source EV Charging Standards
Recently, Electric Avenue issued a response to the recent announcement that Enel X, a major player in the EV charging space, will be shutting down its North American operations effective October 11, 2024. This decision leaves over 170,000 EV chargers across the U.S. and Canada without software support, rendering them largely inoperable. The abrupt exit has drawn attention to a growing issue in the EV charging industry: the risks associated with closed-source hardware and software systems, which can leave customers stranded without the ability to migrate their equipment to another platform.
