Autel Energy announced the opening of its new research and development facility, Innovation Center.
The two-story facility located in Anaheim, California will let original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and commercial partners test the integration of third-party products with Autel Energy hardware and software to ensure the highest standards of performance and quality before entering the market.
"The Autel Energy Innovation Center represents our commitment to our partners' success, as well as to the success of the EV industry in the US and abroad," said Frank Li, chairman of Autel Intelligent Technology Corp., Ltd., a parent company of Autel Energy. "We are extremely proud of the effort our team has made to realize our grand vision, and we look forward to the Innovation Center serving as a prized part of our operations on the West Coast."
The Innovation Center will be led by Shane Long, chief technology officer at Autel Energy, and will provide a space for activities including product and vehicle integrations testing, as well as shed light on the performance, viability, and scalability of products under development.
It will also include an executive briefing center and a training center for introducing technical support engineers to the latest product features.
"I'm excited to invite our partners to visit us here in Anaheim," said Long. "In addition to the latest product features, they will be able to learn about Autel Energy hardware and software installations, servicing, security, and preventative maintenance. Our goal is to create a smooth transition from initial onboarding through the lifecycle of our products."
Trainees will be able to earn certifications in the use and servicing of Autel Energy products upon completion of their courses at the center, Long added.
