ET \u2013 San Francisco, CA \u2013<\/strong> In a move to accelerate the commercial electrification of fleets and unlock stronger returns from EV infrastructure, Curo and SWTCH Energy today announced a strategic partnership. The collaboration connects Curo\u2019s Virtual Depot platform with SWTCH\u2019s charging network, enabling seamless access to distributed charging infrastructure for fleets\u2014while increasing utilization and revenue for property owners.<\/p>\n<p>Fleet operators enrolled in Curo\u2019s Virtual Depot can now lease and charge at SWTCH-equipped sites across North America, including residential and commercial locations. This opens up hundreds of new off-take opportunities for site hosts while helping property owners activate idle or underperforming chargers.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership is designed to address two of the industry\u2019s biggest friction points: lack of charging access for commercial fleets and underutilized EV charging assets. The collaboration aims to increase utilization of existing charging assets, support property owners in deploying new charging solutions, and provide fleets with instant, reliable access to distributed charging.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur CPO partners are essential to our Virtual Depot model\u2014and this partnership with SWTCH is especially exciting,\u201d said Kieran White, CEO and Co-Founder of Curo. \u201cCollaboration across the EV ecosystem is key to unlocking the full value of charging infrastructure. By working with SWTCH\u2019s open network and forward-thinking team, we can help property owners maximize ROI and bring fleets the access they need, faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnabling property owners to maximize their existing assets is core to our approach,\u201d said Rick Hardy-Cheam, Director of Strategy at SWTCH. \u201cWorking with Curo will unlock utilization and revenue potential on our charging infrastructure, delivering strong returns for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since launching in 2016, SWTCH has been at the forefront of intelligent charging solutions that improve efficiency and streamline management for property owners.
