Kraken has partnered with Hypervolt in a collaboration that aims to provide effortless, low-cost charging for Hypervolt customers using clean energy when it is most abundant, fully automated by Kraken’s AI-powered platform.

Hypervolt’s EV chargers will integrate with Kraken’s platform, enabling customers to charge their vehicles at optimal times with clean, affordable energy. Kraken’s Smartflex product uses advanced machine learning to monitor the grid in real time, allowing energy companies to optimise energy usage, flatten peak demand, and cut costs and emissions.

This system benefits all users, not just EV drivers, by balancing the grid and reducing overall energy bills.

Kraken’s Smartflex has already generated substantial savings in the UK. Through Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go tariffs, the average EV driver saves £600 annually compared to a standard variable tariff and over £1,600 compared to driving a petrol vehicle.

Hypervolt’s growth and integration with clean tech leaders

Hypervolt, launched in 2021, has quickly become the UK’s fastest-growing clean tech business and the third fastest-growing company overall, according to Deloitte. Its dedication to customer satisfaction is evident from its top rankings in independent surveys like WhatCar’s Best Home EV Chargers and its stellar TrustPilot ratings.

As an official partner of Enphase Energy, Hypervolt enhances this partnership by integrating with Kraken’s platform alongside Enphase’s solar and home battery solutions, providing a seamless experience for users.

Leadership insights on the partnership

Devrim Celal, Kraken’s chief marketing and flexibility officer, said: “We are uniting two of the most exciting names in clean tech: Kraken and Hypervolt. Together, our companies are delivering big savings for EV drivers and accelerating the energy transition.”

Flavian Alexandru, CEO of Hypervolt, added: “At Hypervolt, we’re thrilled to be integrating with Kraken’s AI-powered platform to bring even greater savings and efficiencies to our customers.
