Connected services to encourage EV uptake

• Battery Certificate: Facilitating the sale of used electric vehicles

Mobilize is launching its ‘Battery Certificate’, an application that allows owners of Renault and Dacia electric vehicles to create a certificate showing their battery’s remaining energy capacity directly on their smartphone or the internet.
The certificate presents numerous advantages:

• • Increase the residual value and sale price of used electric vehicles
    
  • Accelerate sales of used electric vehicles by reassuring prospective buyers of the battery’s remaining capacity

The application is available via MY Renault for individual customers and EASY CONNECT for Fleet for corporate clients, while Dacia Spring users can access it via MY Dacia.
Data used to prepare the certificate are collected via the Battery Management System (BMS) or are calculated using driving and charging time data. This gives an accurate snapshot of the battery’s state of health (SOH), in other words, the battery’s current capacity as a percentage of its initial capacity. For example, if the SOH of a 40 kWh battery is 94%, the residual capacity is 37.6 kWh.
The certificate is available for Renault Zoe E-TECH 100% Electric, Renault Kangoo E-TECH 100% Electric 33 kWh, and Twingo E-TECH 100% Electric. The service will be extended to future Renault electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, as well as to Dacia's EV range.

• Mobilize Charge Pass: Access more than 260,000 charging stations throughout Europe
  

As a means of fostering electric mobility uptake, Mobilize has created the Mobilize Charge Pass, a service dedicated to EV charging while already on the road. The MY Renault app can be used to locate the nearest available charging station that is compatible with the specific vehicle, it also displays the price, and shows the best route to get there. Once the vehicle is plugged in, the charging session can be started using the Mobilize Charge Pass, previously paired with a means of payment.
With just a single app, Mobilize Charge Pass provides access to a network of more than 260,000 charging points in 25 countries throughout Europe.
Currently available in Germany and Spain, the app will be rolled out elsewhere in the coming months.

• Mobilize Smart charge: reduce your electricity bill while charging your vehicle with greener energy
  

The Mobilize Smart Charge app allows Renault EV owners to optimise the cost of charging their car at home while reducing their carbon footprint thanks to intelligent charging scheduling. The app controls vehicle charging according to peaks and troughs in electricity power generation and consumption. In concrete terms, the app stops charging the battery when the power grid is experiencing high consumption, and resumes charging when the grid is back to surplus available power. This
indirectly helps incorporate more renewable energy in the mix and helps maintain a well-balanced grid. Mobilize Smart Charge calculates the optimal charging schedule by taking into account grid capacity, the availability of renewable energy sources, electricity prices, and of course the user's charging preferences (i.e., desired charge level, start time). This flexibility is much appreciated by energy market players. As a result, users can save money on their electricity bills; it goes to show how it pays to be flexible. The app is currently available in France and the Netherlands for owners of Twingo E-TECH 100% Electric and Zoe E-TECH 100% Electric*.
*Eligible vehicles: Zoe Phase 1 (made after November 2019), Zoe Phase 2 (made after 29 October 2020), and all Twingo EV models. Vehicles must be equipped with either RLink or EasyLink multimedia systems
