JD Power has purchased ZappyRide, who provide a number of key APIs and white-label software to some major EV charging players.
ratings firm J.D. Power threw its hat into the EV ring by snapping up ZappyRide, an electric vehicle data company that provides white-label software and network management tools for a number of big players in the EV charging space.
The move will allow J.D. Power to offer clients a comprehensive range of services – which, it claims, will span from strategic planning for EV programs all the way to consumer shopping and cost analysis tools, and even combine all that regional and federal incentive data. “The far-reaching implications of the historic EV transformation are not isolated to the auto industry; they are creating ripple effects far and wide that will change the game for utilities, federal and local governments, consumers and more,” said Dave Habiger, president and CEO of J.D. Power. “ZappyRide is positioned at the center of that interconnected ecosystem, delivering the software and solutions that all EV stakeholders need to make better, faster, and more well-informed decisions.
The ZappyRide acquisition, itself, is just the most recent stage of the J.D. Power E-Vision initiative to play out, and adds ZappyRide’s syndicated studies to JDP’s product offerings in the near term, while effectively eliminating it as a competitor in the B2B analytics space … but, while that’s good for JDP, it may not be good for consumers.A number of people have criticized J.D. Power over conflicts of interest and strangely worded surveys leading to some bizarre results.
