New York-based, blockchain-backed LO3 Energy is partnering with Enel subsidiary eMotorWerks to integrate the latter's JuiceNet electric vehicle (EV) charging platform with one of LO3's energy marketplaces.

The companies said their collaboration was targeted to "price-responsive consumers" who wanted to reduce their energy bills by taking advantage of flexible charging, as well as EV fleet managers seeking "predictable costs".
