SWTCH Cortex Transforms How Properties Power EVs

SWTCH Energy, a leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, announced groundbreaking news on March 10, 2025, with the launch of SWTCH Cortex, an innovative and advanced platform designed to set a new benchmark for EV charging. Integrating cloud-based intelligence, on-site computing, seamless wireless connectivity, and deep interconnection with building systems, SWTCH Cortex offers EV charging that operates without compromise. This cutting-edge solution is tailored specifically for multifamily and commercial properties, ready to meet the growing demand for EV charging infrastructure.

The introduction of SWTCH Cortex comes at a critical time as the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, with U.S. EV sales expected to hit 14% by 2025. However, the widespread adoption of EVs still faces challenges, including a lack of EV-ready parking and high retrofitting costs. SWTCH Cortex addresses these barriers by providing an intelligent, scalable, and cost-effective solution that simplifies installation and management, allowing properties to meet increasing EV demand with ease.

Key Features of SWTCH Cortex Include:

Local Computing for Unmatched Reliability: SWTCH Cortex integrates an on-site microcomputer, enhancing reliability and responsiveness by reducing dependence on internet connectivity. This local computing capability ensures that charging and energy management can continue smoothly, even if there is a local internet outage. Combining the power of SWTCH’s cloud-based network with the reliability of on-premise computing, SWTCH Cortex offers an optimal solution for modern EV charging.

Advanced Energy Management for Flexible Installation: SWTCH Cortex allows properties to install as many EV charging stations as needed without requiring costly electrical upgrades. By tapping into spare capacity across all connected electrical panels, and processing energy requests with zero-latency on-site computing, properties can maximize their existing infrastructure and offer a seamless charging experience to a growing number of electric vehicle drivers.

Long-Range, High-Penetration Wireless Connectivity: With its advanced wireless networking technology, SWTCH Cortex reduces the need for extensive Ethernet cabling in parking garages and outdoor spaces. This innovative approach can cut installation time and costs by up to 70% while ensuring consistent charger operation. The result is a cost-effective, reliable solution for property owners and operators.

Optimized Energy Use with Coordination for Heating and Cooling: SWTCH Cortex enables properties to manage energy use efficiently by coordinating with electric heating and cooling systems. Using predictive modeling and real-time monitoring, the system intelligently reduces charging energy consumption when HVAC systems are active, allowing buildings to prioritize indoor climate control while still ensuring vehicles receive adequate charging.

With these groundbreaking features, SWTCH Cortex provides the scalability and flexibility needed to future-proof EV charging infrastructure for multifamily and commercial properties.
