EV Range collaborates with LG, LSI and Broadsign to launch ChargeCast, a remotely-managed, signage and advertising supported, electric vehicle charger solution
LOS ANGELES, June 15, 2023 -- EV Range announced that it is working with LG Business Solutions, LSI Industries and Broadsign on an integrated solution including electric vehicle chargers and charger station management software, with digital signage and advertising options.
The ChargeCast solution will help remove the complexities of integrating and managing chargers equipped with advertising displays. This has the potential of opening up entirely new opportunities for hotels, restaurants, malls and charging destinations to further monetize, or run marketing campaigns at their electric vehicle charging stations.
"EV Range was born out of the complexities associated with remotely managing, monitoring and monetizing electric vehicle chargers," said Carl Pancutt, CEO of EV Range. "Our cloud-based software and payment application is an industry leading charger management software solution. Working with LG, LSI and Broadsign is a natural extension of bringing an exceptional engagement and experience to both electric vehicle charger owners and the drivers that use them."
"Supporting a robust EV charger market aligns with LG's focus on environmental sustainability, and we see the ChargeCast solution with LG's advanced display technology as a key player in that expansion," said James Pfenning, Technical Sales Director at LG Business Solutions USA. "Working with EV Range and others to launch electric vehicle charger solutions that integrate LG's rugged, 55" high-brightness outdoor LCD displays will allow drivers to consume useful, relevant and contextual content while charging their car."
"LSI is a leading U.S. based manufacturer of outdoor display and digital signage solutions and is excited to bring its expertise to the beautiful ChargeCast solution," said LSI Executive Vice President Robin Hood. "Bringing all the pieces together to build ChargeCast also enabled us to extend our digital signage opportunities to a new market. We evaluated numerous options and determined that LG, EV Range, and Broadsign were the right technology partners for us to team up with."
"EV charging infrastructure remains a key hurdle to EV adoption, and we're excited to be working with EV Range, LG, and LSI on a solution that makes charging stations with ad displays simpler to deploy, operate, and monetize," said Chadi Borghol, Director of Sales, Broadsign. "The new ChargeCast technology will help increase the available inventory of chargers in North America and beyond to meet growing demand. At the same time, it will broaden advertiser access to the highly sought-after EV owner audience and help existing and emerging EV networks better monetize."
