Tech firm Indra has partnered with Starla Energy, a provider of solutions and services for electric vehicle (EV) charging.

The deal will see Starla Energy supply Indra’s customers with its Smart PRO EV home chargers, providing a smart EV domestic charging solution with technology and reliability. It will see Indra’s charger offers solar matching and intelligent off-peak charging to minimise cost and maximise renewable energy usage for EV drivers.

The partnership means Starla Energy can provide its fleet, lease and dealer partners with a domestic EV charging hardware and installation service at point of sale, it said.

The Smart PRO includes optimised charging schedules for off-peak charging, enabling access to renewable energy when it is cheapest, with automatic software updates and solar compatibility with PV panels. Indra’s tariff integration technology also enables end users to access the cheapest and greenest tariffs, including Type of Use tariffs.

Speaking about the partnership, Leighton King, Chief Commercial Officer at Indra said: “Starla Energy is an ambitious UK business that shares our vision to make EV ownership as straightforward, rewarding and sustainable as possible. By installing our high-quality chargers, Starla Energy can provide its customers with an elegant but robust charging solution that enables users to optimise their charging schedules and tariffs to help them save money and the planet.”

Martyn Broadhead, Commercial Director at Starla said Indra had a “great reputation” for developing smart technology.

He said: “Its ability to take power from Solar PV systems as well as the grid is a big factor for us.

“The fact that Indra is UK-based is also in line with our policy to use homegrown solutions wherever possible – we want UK-created green technologies to drive UK market adoption to net zero.”
