Xiamen, China — June 2026 — Joint Tech, a global EV charging and energy storage manufacturer, will participate in The Smarter E South America 2026, taking place August 25–27, 2026 at Expo Center Norte, São Paulo, Brazil. Joint Tech will be located at Booth B3.40C in the Blue Pavilion.
The Smarter E South America: LATAM’s Largest Energy Exhibition
The Smarter E South America is Latin America’s largest alliance of energy industry events, organised by Solar Promotion GmbH and held annually at Expo Center Norte in São Paulo. The event brings together the entire value chain of the new energy world — solar generation, battery storage, electromobility, and smart energy management — under one roof across four parallel exhibitions:
- Intersolar South America — LATAM’s largest solar exhibition and conference
- ees South America — batteries and energy storage systems
- Power2Drive South America — EV charging infrastructure and electromobility
- Eletrotec-EM-Power South America — electrical infrastructure and energy management
The event has grown significantly year on year, reflecting the rapid acceleration of Latin America’s energy transition:
| Edition | Visitors | Exhibitors | Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 50,000+ | 530+ | Strong post-pandemic recovery |
| 2024 | 55,000+ (record) | 650+ | 20%+ growth over 2023; Power2Drive launched |
| 2025 | 55,000+ | 600+ | Energy storage and e-mobility pavilions significantly expanded |
| 2026 (upcoming) | Projected higher | 680+ expected | Joint Tech’s first participation |
As the official post-show report for The Smarter E South America 2025 noted: “The electrical installation industry is increasingly converging with solar generation, particularly in substations for photovoltaic plants and infrastructure for electric vehicle charging — with the electric mobility pavilion consistently busy and well populated with exhibitors.” For companies operating at the intersection of EV charging, energy storage, and solar integration, this is the defining event in the Latin American market.
A Milestone: Joint Tech’s First Brand Debut on the Global Stage
The Smarter E South America 2026 carries particular significance for Joint Tech. This is not simply the company’s first time participating in this exhibition — it is Joint Tech’s first appearance as a brand at any major international trade show.
For the past decade, Joint Tech built its manufacturing capability, certification infrastructure, and global supply chain largely behind the scenes — as the engineering and production backbone for distributors, charge point operators, fleet operators, property developers, schools, and automotive brands across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond. Over that period, Joint Tech has manufactured and deployed more than 300,000 EV charging units across 70+ countries, supporting customers who needed reliable EV charging hardware.
São Paulo 2026 marks the moment Joint Tech steps forward under its own brand — bringing to market, for the first time publicly, the integrated solution platform it has spent years developing from the ground up: an AI-driven solar-storage-charging ecosystem that connects every kilowatt-hour from generation through to the vehicle, and turns that energy flow into measurable operational value.
From OEM/ODM Manufacturer to Integrated Solution Provider: Joint Tech’s Journey
Joint Tech’s foundation is manufacturing excellence. Founded in 2015 in Xiamen, China, the company spent its first years establishing what is now one of the most comprehensively certified EV charger production operations in the industry — holding ETL, CE, UKCA, TÜV, CB, Energy Star, and Hubject certifications, operating as an accredited satellite laboratory for both Intertek and SGS, and building a portfolio of 150+ patents. That manufacturing capability served a global customer base spanning every channel in the EV charging value chain:
- Distributors — white-label AC and DC charging hardware for regional distribution across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific
- Charge Point Operators (CPOs) — certified hardware for public and semi-public charging network deployments
- Fleet operators — depot charging solutions for commercial vehicle electrification programmes
- Property developers and real estate companies — residential and commercial charging infrastructure for multi-dwelling unit developments
- Institutions — universities, schools, hospitals, and government facilities requiring certified, manageable charging infrastructure
- Automotive OEM programmes — vehicle-bundled charging hardware manufactured to OEM specification and branding
Across more than 300,000 deployed units in 70+ countries, Joint Tech accumulated something more valuable than production volume: a deep, ground-level understanding of where EV charging infrastructure fails in practice — and what operators, fleet managers, and CPOs actually need from a charging solution to make electrification economically viable at scale.
That understanding drove a strategic inflection. As global energy costs rose, grid constraints tightened, and fleet electrification moved from pilot to operational reality, it became clear that standalone EV chargers — however well-made — could not solve the core problem facing large-scale charging deployments: the gap between available energy supply and the charging demand of a growing electric fleet or network.
The answer Joint Tech developed is the solar-storage-charging integrated solution.
The Solar–Storage–Charging Solution: Turning Every kWh into Value
Joint Tech’s integrated solar-storage-charging (光储充) platform is built on a single principle: every kilowatt-hour generated, stored, or delivered through the system should create measurable value — for the operator, the fleet, and the grid. This is not a product bundle. It is an end-to-end energy management architecture that connects three layers:
Layer 1 — Generation: Solar PV Integration
On-site solar generation reduces the cost of every kilowatt-hour delivered to a vehicle. Integrated into the platform from the ground up, PV output is monitored in real time and factored into charging schedules, storage dispatch, and grid draw decisions automatically. Deployments in grid-constrained markets — including off-grid and weak-grid scenarios in Africa, where Joint Tech has operating solar-storage-charging station installations — have demonstrated that integrated solar can reduce the effective cost of fleet charging by 40–60% compared to grid-only operations.
Layer 2 — Storage: Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Battery storage decouples charging capacity from grid availability. A fleet depot with limited grid connection can store solar energy or off-peak grid power and dispatch it during peak charging windows — eliminating the need for expensive grid upgrades and reducing peak demand charges. Joint Tech’s storage systems range from commercial-scale fixed installations to the ESCS-M mobile energy storage vehicle — a 200 kWh semi-trailer unit designed for temporary or grid-constrained deployments.
Layer 3 — Charging: DC Fast Chargers (30 kW to 400 kW)
Joint Tech will showcase its full DC fast charger range at Booth B3.40C, covering single-gun and dual-gun configurations from 30 kW to 400 kW — the complete power range required for light commercial fleet depot charging through to heavy-duty logistics and bus rapid charging. All DC chargers support OCPP 2.0.1 and ISO 15118, ensuring compatibility with any third-party charge management system and enabling Plug & Charge authentication. For visitors sourcing residential or light commercial AC charging equipment, Joint Tech’s AC Level 2 charger range will also be available for discussion at the booth.
AI Intelligence Across the Full Solar–Storage–Charging Stack
What distinguishes Joint Tech’s integrated platform from a conventional hardware bundle is the AI layer that runs across all three components. Joint Tech is among the first EV charging solution providers to embed AI-driven intelligence natively into the solar-storage-charging value chain — not as an add-on dashboard, but as the operational core of how the system manages energy in real time.
The AI platform delivers:
- Predictive charging scheduling — analyses fleet departure schedules, historical driving patterns, weather forecasts, and grid tariff curves to optimise when each vehicle charges, minimising energy cost without compromising fleet readiness
- Real-time load intelligence — allocates available power (from solar, storage, and grid in combination) across active charging sessions dynamically, preventing demand peaks and eliminating breaker trips without reducing vehicle charge rate where avoidable
- Charger uptime monitoring and fault prediction — continuous diagnostics across the charging network, with AI-flagged anomalies and predictive maintenance alerts before faults result in downtime. For CPOs and fleet operators, charger availability is a direct revenue and operational dependency — predictive uptime management is not a convenience feature, it is a core business requirement
- Energy cost optimisation — automatically shifts charging load to lowest-cost windows (solar peak hours, off-peak tariff periods) and dispatches stored energy when grid prices spike, reducing total energy cost per kilometre driven across the fleet
- Data and reporting — session-level energy data, fleet charging cost per vehicle, CO₂ displacement metrics, and grid interaction reports — all accessible via the platform dashboard or exportable for integration with fleet management systems
The result is a system that does not simply charge vehicles — it manages energy as a strategic asset, turning every kilowatt-hour into quantifiable operational value for the operator.
Who Joint Tech Is Looking to Meet in São Paulo
Joint Tech’s team at Booth B3.40C will be focused on three groups of visitors:
Fleet Operators — Commercial Vehicle Electrification
For logistics companies, corporate fleet managers, municipal vehicle operators, and bus fleet operators navigating the transition from ICE to electric, Joint Tech’s solar-storage-charging platform addresses the two most common barriers to large-scale fleet electrification: grid capacity constraints and energy cost. Whether you are planning a new depot charging infrastructure from scratch or upgrading an existing charging facility to handle a growing electric fleet, Joint Tech’s engineering team will discuss system architecture, power sizing, AI scheduling integration, and total cost of ownership modelling at the booth.
EV Charging Distributors — Building an EV Charging Product Line
For distributors currently operating in the Brazilian or Latin American market — or entering it — Joint Tech offers ODM supply of CE-certified DC fast chargers and AC Level 2 units under your brand. White-label hardware with custom firmware localisation (Portuguese, Spanish), packaging, and documentation.
Joint Tech’s manufacturing experience across 70+ countries and 300,000+ deployed units means your product line launches with proven, certified hardware backed by an established supply chain. Visit Booth B3.40C to discuss portfolio fit, volume pricing, and partnership terms.
Charge Point Operators (CPOs) — Network Hardware and Platform Supply
For CPOs developing public, semi-public, or private charging networks in Brazil and the broader Latin American market, Joint Tech provides DC fast charging hardware with OCPP 2.0.1 compliance, CMS integration options, and a supply-and-support model designed for multi-site deployments. The AI uptime monitoring layer means network operators can manage charger availability proactively rather than reactively — a meaningful differentiator in markets where public charging reliability is still a consumer concern and a key driver of network reputation.
