V2C SmartLock, the incorporation of BLE technology into our Trydan charger. This innovation allows Trydan to automatically unlock when it detects the proximity of a compatible vehicle, significantly simplifying the charging experience.

V2C SmartLock works by connecting Trydan to a Bluetooth e-Key, which can be a smart key fob, enabling the charger to unlock automatically as the vehicle approaches, without needing to access V2C Cloud for authorisation.

Tesla vehicles come with built-in BLE technology

An exciting piece of news is that Tesla vehicles already come equipped with this built-in technology. This means that Tesla owners can connect their cars to Trydan without the need for an additional e-Key. The synergy between Trydan and Tesla cars allows the connection and unlocking of the charger to be automatic and hassle-free.

It’s important to understand that Trydan’s ability to connect without an additional e-Key to Tesla vehicles is due to the pre-existing presence of this technology in Tesla cars. Similarly, as other car manufacturers begin to incorporate this technology into their vehicles, the same level of compatibility and convenience will be experienced when connecting them to Trydan.

It’s essential to highlight the importance of this integration with Tesla, as it demonstrates V2C’s commitment to adapting to emerging technologies and improving the charging experience for all electric vehicle owners, particularly for those who currently own Tesla cars.

We will continue to work to ensure that Trydan stays at the forefront of innovation, offering advanced and accessible charging solutions for everyone, in line with the technological advances of the automotive industry.
