Japa’s Expansion in Smart EV Charging Solutions at SMUD

July 31, 2024

West Sacramento, California, July 2024 – Japa, Inc., a pioneer in innovative parking solutions, is excited to announce a significant expansion of our partnership with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD). This expansion includes extending the Sacramento-based company’s smart parking technology to more SMUD employee EV charging spaces.

The advanced technology provided by Japa includes sensors and analytics tools that
monitor space utilization and gather data on usage patterns. This allows SMUD to
efficiently manage its campus EV spaces, leading to better resource allocation.

Since the initial installation, SMUD has seen enhancements of EV charging facilities. The
integration of Japa’s smart systems has transformed the way SMUD manages EV spaces,
delivering crucial data and enhancing user experience through real-time monitoring.

With this expansion, SMUD aims to provide even more ease of use to employee’s who drive electric vehicles. The app informs commuters about the availability of EV charging spaces at SMUD’s two Sacramento campuses, further streamlining the charging experience. Commuters can now easily find open charging stations, reducing wait times and increasing overall satisfaction.

“By expanding our system to more on campus employee EV spaces, we’re not only improving operational efficiency but also enriching the commuting experience for electric vehicle owners.” said Mathew Magno, CEO at Japa, Inc.

“Expanding the Japa parking app across all employee EV charging spaces at SMUD is a cost-effective means to monitor space usage and enhance our employees’ experience, while supporting our goal of zero carbon by 2030, one of the boldest plans of any large utility in the United States,” said Kirsten DePersis, SMUD’s Director of Facilities Security & Emergency Operations.
