A Journey Toward Simplicity and Control
DVM Industries, the largest installer of EV charging stations in the greater NYC area, has built a reputation for leading the clean energy transition. With divisions spanning LED lighting, EC motors, solar energy, and EV charging stations, DVM is a recognized industry leader. Their contributions were honored with two prestigious Con Edison awards: the L2 Blitz Award and the L2 Developer of the Year Award, reflecting their commitment to innovation and sustainability.
When DVM expanded into EV charging, the potential was clear—but so were the challenges. Navigating the complexities of installation, connectivity, and management required a software partner that could simplify operations without sacrificing control. Enter Wevo Energy.
Discovering a New Way
The partnership began in mid-2024, when DVM faced persistent challenges with their existing software.
“When DVM decided to pilot a new software platform for their MUD (Multi-Unit Dwelling) sites, we seamlessly integrated Wevo into our EV stations, ensuring a smooth transition with no disruptions,”
— Kabilesh Vanasekar, DVM Industries
Their previous solution made commissioning challenging, requiring manual checks and back-and-forth communication with support teams. For a growing company managing thousands of chargers, this inefficiency was unsustainable, hindering business growth.
The Power of Control
Wevo Energy offered an intuitive, flexible platform that immediately transformed DVM’s operations. The change was apparent from the first commissioning.
“With Wevo, all we had to do was enter the serial numbers, and we could instantly see whether the chargers were online or offline. No more guesswork.”
— Kabilesh Vanasekar, Project Lead
The ease of commissioning was just the beginning. DVM soon discovered the full power of Wevo’s accessibility. In the past, simple tasks like adding users or adjusting settings required external support. With Wevo, DVM’s team could make these changes independently.
“The accessibility is fantastic. We can access everything ourselves—no more waiting on someone else to get answers.”
— Connor Doran, Project Manager
Optimized Load Management & Payments
As DVM expanded its network to nearly 8,000 charging ports across the country, the importance of efficient load management became clear. Wevo’s advanced load-sharing feature provided precisely what they needed. By setting power limits and distributing electricity across stations, the company optimized energy use without overwhelming the infrastructure.
The platform also simplified payment management. Unlike most software providers who handle payments behind the scenes, Wevo enabled DVM to integrate directly with Stripe, their payment processor. This direct integration allowed DVM to manage customer billing with full control and visibility, giving them insight into payment flows and removing dependence on third parties.
“This was a game-changer. We don’t have to wait for a partner to send payments. Everything is under our control now.”

Real Results, Real Growth
The benefits of the switch to Wevo were significant:
- 99% uptime rate for chargers—unmatched reliability compared to their previous provider.
- Reduced time to complete tasks—what once took hours now takes minutes.
- Increased driver satisfaction—real-time insights into station performance led to faster response times and an improved user experience.
- Enhanced team efficiency—the intuitive interface and Wevo Academy made onboarding easy.
“Wevo gets out of our way and gives us the tools to succeed. That’s exactly what we needed to grow.”
— Kabilesh Vanasekar
Looking Ahead
With a foundation of trust and performance, DVM Industries is eager to continue its journey with Wevo Energy. The next steps include expanding into public charging stations and integrating kiosk systems throughout New York City. The potential is vast, and with Wevo’s innovative solutions, the path ahead is clear.
