\nLONDON, UK. March 25th, 2025<\/strong> – Kaluza<\/a>, the advanced software platform for energy, today announces becoming an Automation Service Provider (ASP) for Pacific Gas and Electric Company\u2019s (PG&E\u2019s) new \u2018Hourly Flex Pricing\u2019 (HFP) pilot in an expansion of Kaluza\u2019s pioneering EV managed charging program in California.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Drivers can access the Hourly Flex Pricing pilot rate via a Kaluza-integrated chargepoint and an intuitive mobile app which enables EV drivers to easily \u2018set and forget\u2019 their charging. Kaluza\u2019s platform optimizes EV charging to periods of lower electricity demand and higher renewable energy availability, empowering customers to reap financial rewards while supporting the transition to a resilient, decarbonized grid.<\/div>\n
\n
The integration with PG&E\u2019s HFP pilot builds on the launch of Kaluza\u2019s California Energy Commission-supported REDWDS program announced in February 2024 which enables customers to save up to 60% on their home energy bills. Championing inclusivity, 50% of Kaluza\u2019s enrolled drivers are from disadvantaged or low-income communities, or both.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Kaluza\u2019s program is the latest deployment of its next-generation software and demand response capabilities proven globally across the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. It will also include bidirectional Vehicle-to-Grid charging, enabling drivers to send energy from their EV\u2019s battery to their home or the grid, increasing customer engagement, network resilience and cost savings while accelerating the shift to renewable power.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n
<\/strong>Jonathan Levy, Managing Director, US & Japan, Kaluza said: \u201cKaluza strongly supports PG&E and other utilities rolling out new innovative rates that allow drivers to benefit from their active role in shaping a stable, renewable-powered system. These time-of-use and type-of-use electricity rates are an important tool that software platforms can harness to deliver a win-win-win for customers\u2019 energy bills, the grid, and the planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We commend PG&E for embracing new technologies and approaches to transform for a rapidly evolving system and we\u2019re delighted to add them to our growing roster of global utility clients. We\u2019re excited to scale our active managed charging program in California to make EV ownership more affordable, inclusive and easy through seamless customer experiences.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
Enrolment in the program is now open, allowing eligible EV drivers to start earning savings and supporting a more sustainable energy future. For more information, visit calicharge.energy.<\/a><\/p>\n
