Bovlabs was founded in California, USA in 2017 and subsequently had an associate company registered in Aix-En-Provence, France in 2018. Our software is used to manage and control Electric vehicle (EV) chargers with the goal to maximize their utility for operators and Electric vehicle owners.

Our cloud-based back-office system uses standard protocol like OCPP 1.6/2.0 to communicates with any charging infrastructure and integrates with e-mobility service providers. Our mobile application could be used by EV owners for authorization to charge network, get real-time information on the state of charge, cost of charging and incentives on their behavior, etc.  We utilize a private/consortium Blockchain to handle the transactions and machine learning (“AI”) to continually optimize processes

Currently, we are operating mostly in Europe/ Southern France where we recently deployed an innovative system for SNCF G&C in collaboration with our partners Nissan, Accenture, the Camp & VINCI Energies that specifically includes vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities. The results are more cost-effective, highly optimized, thus even “greener” and more attractive EV charging services.

Its administration is realized through the functioning of the deliberative bodies of the Collectivité, i.e., the territorial council and the executive council: a method of governance that requires regular meetings to ensure monitoring of our island’s issues.

The new government of Saint Barthélemy consists of a territorial assembly of 19 members elected for 5 years by direct vote with universal suffrage.

The first territorial council was established on July 15, 2007.

The Collectivité is currently working on designing its energy transition mid & long-term strategy. As a partner in the Maesha project, the Collectivité follows the initiative of Mayotte in order to learn and adapt the model on its territory in a near future.
