Kople, one of Norway’s Leading EV Charging Operators, Selects the Driivz Platform to Ensure an Enhanced Charging Experience for EV Drivers
21 Février 2024 - 10:00AM
Driivz, a Vontier (NYSE: VNT) company, part of its EVolve
e-mobility portfolio and a leading provider of end-to-end smart EV
charging and energy management software, today announced that
Kople, one of Norway’s largest charge point operators (CPO), will
migrate its network of more than 7,000+ public and private EV
charging connectors to the Driivz platform. Following a competitive
request for proposal process, Kople selected Driivz because of the
platform’s technical maturity, industry-leading charger uptime and
extensive network management and business operations capabilities.
The Driivz solution for Kople includes integrated
software modules for EV charge point and network operations, EV
charging billing, and for future use, smart energy management.
Driver self-service tools include a white-label mobile app offering
real-time charger location and availability, charger reservations,
support for multiple payment options and faster issue reporting.
Kople will use the Driivz InSite™ module to provide management,
reporting and driver support tools to its business customers.
“Our mission is to meet Norway’s growing need for
user-friendly, high-quality EV charging with facilities that
deliver our signature easy charging experience,” said Joar Brunes,
CEO of Kople, noting that 25 percent of passenger vehicles on
Norway’s roads today are electric. “Driivz technology will help us
provide an even higher quality of service to EV drivers and our
partners as we continue to scale our business and add new
technology solutions as soon as they are ready for us to use.”
The operations management module monitors charger
status 24x7 and proactively resolves up to 80 percent of
operational problems using self-healing algorithms, enabling
industry-leading levels of charger availability to meet Kople’s
service excellence objectives. Support for multiple payment options
plus built-in integrations for platform and OCPI-based roaming
allow Kople to make EV charging easily available to everyone.
In addition to the growing public network of its
own chargers, Kople builds and operates charging facilities on
behalf of many public and private partners, including
municipalities, businesses and utility companies. The Driivz
platform’s robust EV billing features were another key factor
behind Kople’s choice of Driivz. The billing module simplifies
financial complexity by providing automated monthly reconciliation
by business partners, hassle-free public charging for fleet drivers
and simple payment processing.
“We are delighted to partner with Kople in
providing service excellence to Norway’s growing population of EV
drivers and to support this innovative company’s expansion across
Norway and the Nordics,” said Andrew Bennett, CEO of EVolve. “We
share Kople’s passion for continuously improving the EV driver
charging experience and furthering electrification to make the
world a bit greener.”
