The role of technological progress and the introduction of advanced tech products is the leading trend in the wired charging market. This growth is marked by the unveiling of superior chargers integrated with mobile applications for efficient charging management, along with enhanced features such as rapid charging, compatibility with any gadget, and more. Major market players are concentrating their efforts on the release of advanced chargers to achieve a competitive advantage and attract additional clientele. For instance, in October 2022, Palo Alto, a US firm involved in EV charging software, collaborated with Smartenit, a US company specializing in Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for smart energy. Together, they launched a smart grid-optimized Level 1 mobile EV cable, which provides cost-effective EV charging for apartment residents or multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) without dedicated EV charging stations. The smart EV cable includes a mobile charging cord with a standard charging port that plugs into a 120v three-prong outlet. The device's built-in Wi-Fi modem connects it to an app, enabling automatic off-peak charging schedules, thus reducing charging costs for EV drivers.
