EV Connect To Power EV Charging Network In Australia

Los Angeles-based electric vehicle (EV) charging network operator EV Connnect has put its backing behind a new, Australian startup, Evie Networks, which is looking to create its own network of ultra-fast EV chargers down under. According to EV Connect, it is joining the St Baker Energy Innovation Fund to back Evie Networks, to create an ultra-fast highway charging network in Australia. The size of the investment by EV Connect was not announced, and it's unclear if the deal includes investment or just use of EV Connect's technology. EV Connect said Evie Networks will use its EV Cloud platform to deploy a network of over 80 fast chargers in Australia, spread across 42 sites.
