In response to the increasing incidents of theft and vandalism at electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, SWTCH Energy has launched a new suite of security solutions. These advanced tools are designed to protect charging infrastructure, ensuring that EV drivers have reliable access while helping property managers secure their investments.
Key Highlights
- SWTCH Energy introduces anti-theft and vandalism solutions for EV charging stations.
- The solutions integrate AI, real-time alerts, and hardware protection.
- Key features include presence-sensing recording, smart threat detection, intelligent escalation, and instant cable cut detection.
- The aim is to safeguard investments for property managers and maintain driver confidence in EV charging availability.
SWTCH Energy, a prominent provider of EV charging solutions, has developed these measures to tackle the growing challenges of vandalism and cable theft. Such incidents threaten the financial stability of property managers and reduce trust among EV drivers in the accessibility of charging stations. The company’s new security suite employs cutting-edge vision AI technology to deliver real-time monitoring and proactive deterrence.
The solutions provide 24/7 remote monitoring through compact camera and lighting units, offering wide-angle surveillance and motion-activated deterrents. These units are designed for easy installation on poles or walls, making them a practical and affordable choice for multifamily and commercial properties.
A standout feature is presence-sensing recording, where cameras detect approaching individuals and signal that surveillance is active, deterring potential vandals. Additionally, smart threat detection uses AI to differentiate between normal charging behavior and suspicious activity, minimizing false alarms. For escalating threats, the system progresses from visual deterrents to alerts, utilizing built-in speakers or notifying property management teams and local authorities. The instant cable cut detection feature triggers immediate alerts when tampering is detected, supported by durable cord prevention sleeves that resist cutting tools.
Carter Li, CEO of SWTCH Energy, stated, “Property managers need dependable solutions to mitigate these risks and ensure uninterrupted charging access. Our AI-driven tools act like a virtual security guard, offering proactive protection and boosting confidence in the EV transition.”
As electric vehicle use rises, securing charging infrastructure is vital. SWTCH’s scalable, cost-effective solutions help property owners protect their networks and support EV growth.
