SolarEdge Collaborates with Google to Integrate EV Charging with the Google Assistant

Smart speaker commands make EV charging more convenient, supporting
increased market demand for smart energy solutions

FREMONT, Calif. & LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/ElectricVehicle?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#ElectricVehiclelt;/agt;–SolarEdge
Technologies, Inc. (“SolarEdge”) (NASDAQ: SEDG), a global leader in
smart energy technology, announced today that electric vehicle (EV)
consumers can now control SolarEdge’s
EV-charging solar inverter using the Google Assistant. SolarEdge is
one of the first companies to integrate EV charging with the Google
Assistant. This news coincides with Google
announcing all of the new Google Assistant features and with the
SolarEdge EV charging solar inverter on display in the Google Assistant
booth located outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center at the Consumer
Electronic Show (CES) this week.

SolarEdge offers the world’s first EV charging solar inverter, which
offers up to six times faster charging than standard Level 1 chargers
through its innovative solar boost mode. The smart speaker integration
with the Google Assistant makes EV charging simpler for consumers and
answers demand for smart energy solutions.

“Smart homes have mainly been about convenience and interconnectivity,
but the next step of the smart home is integrating smart energy
management, such as EV charging,” stated Lior Handelsman, SolarEdge’s
Founder and VP of Marketing and Product Strategy. “By merging the
simplicity of smart homes with the value of smart energy through this
collaboration with Google, SolarEdge is leading the way in making the
power of smart solar energy more accessible to more people.”

Consumers can now tell the Google Assistant to start and stop EV
charging. SolarEdge plans to add functionality to the Google Assistant
commands, including inquiring about charging status, checking average
miles charged in the charging session, and pre-schedule charging.
