chargeNET Ltd., has partnered with 7th Sense luxury condominium located in Colombo 07, to offer Smart Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Solution as an amenity to their residents.

The partnership focuses on augmenting the customer experience by offering EV charging facilities, to meet the demand of luxury EV users. chargeNET charging zone located at 7th Sense, is exclusive for its residents, and is the first luxury apartment to introduce connected EV charging facility in Sri Lanka.

chargeNET is the only connected charging solution offering both L2 and Fast Chargers for the convenience of the users. With over 50 partners island-wide, the EV charging network is powered by IoT technology for a seamless charging experience, building an ecosystem that works for EV users as well as businesses. By offering EV charging facilities to customers, properties and business owners can build brand equity by introducing the green energy concept, a rising movement amongst the international and local clientele.

As the EV driving population grows in Sri Lanka, the country has witnessed an increase of over 1300% in EV vehicle registrations during the years 2013-2016. This substantial growth has proliferated service providers offering EV charging, forming a fragmented experience for EV users. To address this, a seamless and cost effective charging solution is imperative, and chargeNET is geared to expand its services island wide to meet the anticipated demand through its smart EV charging network.

“We are turning our focus towards enabling the shift to e-mobility in more places around Sri Lanka, covering apartments, retail, hotels and public spaces and workplaces. We must be ready for the change that is inevitable, and EV users will look for convenience; where they live and wherever they go. Our agile technology provides flexibility and controls to ensure that our partners will have maximum exposure to promote their offerings through the chargeNET mobile application - either exclusively to their customers or with the option of opening it to the public. The end-to-end data monitoring an extraction mechanism will ensure that all regulatory requirements are met, while the collated data can assess the usage of green energy of EVs for sustainable policy controls, to regulate and minimise the carbon footprint of Sri Lanka,” chargeNET Ltd. Director Dr. Beshan Kulapala said.

The company is accelerating the shift towards powering the future of mobility, at the rapid pace of growth expected. chargeNET Ltd., is a subsidiary of CodeGen International Ltd., a high-end technology solution provider both locally and internationally, in multidisciplinary fields.
