Schneider Electric on Thursday announced launch of EcoStruxure for eMobility, an end-to-end solution to cover entire EV (electric vehicle) charging infrastructure value chain. The growth in EVs is hampered by limited public charging infrastructure, the company said.

The EcoStruxure for eMobility covers the entire EV charging value chain, from audit and consulting, to grid and microgrid management, and smart charging stations. It offers giving operators increased sustainability through minimized emissions and reduced energy consumption, while lowering CapEx and OpEx by more than 30 per cent.
