Lion Electric offering Synop energy management offerings

Lion Electric is incorporating Synop charging and energy management offerings into its LionBeat telematics platform.

The Synop suite is also offered as a separate add-on product to Lion customers. Synop says its API will give customers a single interface to view data and details needed to manage their electric vehicle assets.

The company says customers will also be able to take advantage of its vehicle-to-grid technology to generate revenue by returning unused energy to the electric grid. The system allows fleet managers to take advantage of reduced electricity costs by scheduling charging for off-peak hours, selling that energy back to the gride at higher prices during peak hours when vehicles aren’t in use.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Lion,” said Synop CEO Gagan Dhillon. “Lion is a leader in the industry and the combined offering will bring many advanced solutions to Lion customers, furthering both companies along our shared mission to get more commercial EVs on the road.”

“We’re excited to partner with Synop to provide our customers with a market-leading energy management solution,” added Marie Bedard, director of Lion Ecosystem. “This collaboration offers our customers a highly advanced energy management software that further builds upon Lion’s robust Ecosystem portfolio.”
