Perth-based electric vehicle (EV) charging technology startup has announced a significant milestone in its journey.

After its initial success and capital raising in WA, Wevolt has announced its expansion across Australia, bringing its software to EV charging stations in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania.

Wevolt software has already facilitated over 1,500 charging sessions in WA, showcasing its potential to revolutionize the EV charging landscape.

Wevolt CEO Jagroop Gill expressed his excitement for the national debut.

While interstate growth was always part of the business plan, the speed at which this has occurred emphasises the demand for innovative services like ours to meet the needs of the EV community.

For EV drivers, Wevolt offers an app-based solution that is available for download on Android and iOS devices. Using digital mapping, it helps users locate the nearest charging station and provides real-time information on cost and availability. This streamlines the payment process, allowing users to make payments through the app or a Wevolt RFID card.

A stand-out feature of the app is its self-service platform which allows both residential and commercial Charge Point Owners (CPOs) to integrate and oversee their chargers on the Wevolt network, all while receiving real-time payments.

“With more than 83,000 EVs on Australia’s roads, we appreciate the need for convenient access to charge points and for CPOs to be paid instantly for providing a charging service,” said Jagroop.

“By enabling CPOs to self-manage their chargers, we seek to activate idle chargers and provide EV drivers with a more accessible and convenient, charging experience,” he said.

Government officials and leaders came together to partake in celebrations at the official launch, with Minister for Innovation and Digital Economy Stephen Dawson delivering a speech to more than one hundred attendees.

Jagroop extended his appreciation for the ongoing support Wevolt has received. In June, the company received one of the highly competitive Innovation Booster Grants from the WA government.

“We value the support of our App users, investors, partners, and the EV community and recognise the immense potential of Wevolt,

“It’s a very exciting time for us as a company and our national rollout solidifies our position as a key player in the EV infrastructure space,” said Jagroop.
