EDISON, NEW JERSEY, NJ, UNITED STATES, October 22, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- EV Buddy Inc., developer of on-scene, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) fast DC charging, today announced a hardware development and supply agreement with EcoG, a global EV-charging technology company known for its embedded EcoG OS, controller hardware, and reference designs used to accelerate reliable DC fast-charger development. ecog.io+2ecog.io

Under the partnership, EcoG will support development and supply core power electronics control modules and firmware for EVChargeShare, EV Buddy’s next-generation portable V2V fast DC charger. EcoG’s platform supports all major standards—including OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 / 2.1. and ISO 15118-2 / 20—to improve interoperability and accelerated time-to-market. ecog.io

“We’re solving the biggest hurdle holding back electrification: range and charging anxiety,” said Suresh Arya, Founder & CEO of EV Buddy. “Think of EVChargeShare as the EV equivalent of delivering a can of gasoline to a stranded ICE vehicle—only faster, cleaner, and data-driven. Instead of towing an out-of-charge EV, we bring a targeted DC boost on scene so drivers can safely reach the nearest station.”

The new EVChargeShare unit is expected to feature:
● Portable V2V fast DC output (target ~20 kW class at launch; scalable by configuration)
● BMS-aware safety & controls (galvanic isolation, pre-charge, CC/CV management)
● Connected telematics & OTA updates for device health, logs, and dispatch integration
● Operator-friendly design for quick setup, glove-friendly UI, and roadside safety features
● Serviceability & uptime focus with modular components and RMA-ready parts

“EcoG is excited to support EV Buddy with a production-grade hardware and firmware stack tailored for portable fast DC,” said Robert (“Bob”) Skinner, Managing Director, U.S., EcoG. “Our controller platform and EcoG OS are designed to accelerate high-reliability DC charging with broad protocol support—exactly what roadside operators, fleets, OEMs, and dealerships need for dependable on-scene assist.” ecog.io+1

Use cases & benefits

● Roadside assist (tow-avoidance): Deliver energy on scene; reduce shoulder time and secondary-crash risk
● Fleets: Quick recovery to a nearby charger to keep vehicles productive
● OEMs & dealerships: Service-bay triage, software updates/conditioning, customer rescues without fixed DC installs
● Events & coverage gaps: Temporary charging support where infrastructure is limited
● Public-sector response: Incident management with data for clearance-time and safety KPIs
