Tech in Motion Los Angeles hosted EV Connect, an electric vehicle charging Platform Company, at Working Village co-working space for their October tech event. The evening kicked off with a delicious spread of appetizers & seasonal beverages. Mixing, mingling & networking among the guests continued until the feature presentation by Marty Griffin and Gavin Minami (software engineers at EV Connect) began.
The two developers gave a detailed and organized PowerPoint presentation about the latest technology the company uses in developing their electric vehicle charging stations, also known as "Smart" charging stations. That includes communications hardware for use with software applications. Marty & Gavin covered the basic tech lingo and dove deeper into specifics regarding eco-technology. Their main points regarded interfacing with OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol), their network also provides many useful features including station access control, charge session pricing, station reservation. They summed their talk up with the direction of electric vehicle technology and where it is headed for the future. They concluded that the future of Electric Vehicle charging may be free-standing or mounted to a wall or ceiling in workplace environments.
The evening closed with a Q & A session from the audience, with very enthusiastic members asking relevant and thoughtful questions. Once more, there was an abundance of socializing & networking amongst the group, where new friendships and business relationships were created.
The eco-technology theme was a hit for the local LA green scene and alike!
