BERLIN, GERMANY--(Marketwired - Oct 19, 2015) - The Berlin-based company Hubject
GmbH has extended its intercharge charging network with the addition of several
hundred charging stations in more European target markets. The charging points
of its northern European partners Fortum, Grønn Kontakt, VIRTA. and CleanCharge,
the Swiss companies Swisscom and Energie Service Biel/Bienne, and the French
operator Freshmile are now linked via the Hubject platform. More than 190
companies already rely on the real-time connection of their charging stations
and customer-friendly access for electric car drivers via smartphone apps, RFID
cards, NFC or plug & charge with intercharge. Further European markets will be
opened up by the end of the year.
The activities of Hubject and its partner companies are always pursuing a common
goal: the creation of customer-friendly solutions, which allow electric car
drivers to easily find charging stations across Europe and use them with a
single EV electricity contract. "Together with our partners, we focus on
sustainable and therefore scalable eRoaming solutions," said Thomas Daiber, CEO
of Hubject GmbH. "Communication between the various charging station systems,
the Hubject platform and the electric vehicle owners' smartphone is fully
automated. As a result, transaction costs across the entire value chain are
minimised and new digital solutions are created. We are delighted that charging
electric vehicles using eRoaming across Northern Europe, Switzerland and France
is now even simpler through our strong partnerships."
Europe's charging network, intercharge, is especially charaterised by the
diversity of its partners. Along with large energy providers and car
manufacturers, small and medium-sized companies, service card companies and
startups also rely on intercharge.
EV charging with intercharge in Europe's northern countries
Fortum Charge & Drive is a leading cloud-based charging business system for EV
charging service operators. Charge & Drive is also operating one of the largest
smart charging network in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The network consists of
over 450 public and semi-public chargers, which will be gradually available
through intercharge. Companies such as Nissan, Renault, BMW, and McDonald's have
chosen to partner with Fortum Charge & Drive for delivering a high-quality
charging experience for electric vehicle drivers.
Helsinki-based Virta. Ltd provides a comprehensive technical platform and
related services for EV charging service business. In Finland the company
operates a network of 100 AC and DC charging stations and in Switzerland the
Swisscharge network runs on Virta's technology. The front-end solution, the
Virta mobile application allows a smooth service experience at charging
stations. The app also enables EV charging in intercharge compatible charging
points across the entire network, including Northern Europe.
The Norwegian company Grønn Kontakt operates a nationwide network of charging
stations since 2009. It is onwned by 23 Norwegian grid operators and energy
suppliers. The company focuses on public AC and DC chargers, which are now
accessible for EV drivers via intercharge.
The Danish charge point operator CleanCharge is now part of the intercharge
network. CleanCharge also offers intercharge direct: the direct payment solution
for intercharge. intercharge direct allows electric car drivers to charge with a
major credit card or a PayPal account without an EV electricity contract.
First charging station operator enables cross-border charging in France
Freshmile is the first French charging station operator to join the intercharge
network. The charging stations of this independent startup can be mostly found
along the French-German border region. To enable EV driver's cross-border
charging is therefore an additional service which can now be offered by
Freshmile due to the connection to the intercharge network.
Strong partners lay the foundations for intercharge in Switzerland
Swisscom Managed Mobility is making use of intercharge services to enter the
electric vehicle market. Through a strategic alliance with Hubject, Swisscom
Managed Mobility will independently form partnerships in the Swiss and
Liechtenstein markets as an intercharge partner in the future, thus further
expanding the intercharge network. This will provide electric car drivers easy
access to various charging stations throughout Switzerland.
Due to the proximity to France and Germany, cross-border charging is an
important requirement of the charging infrastructure for Energie Service
Biel/Bienne (ESB). Therefore, the first Swiss charging station within the
intercharge network is located in Biel. In addition, electric car drivers are
able to charge in Biel even without an EV electricity contract through
intercharge direct which offers green electricity for free.
The charging stations of all charge point operators within the intercharge
network can be found here. The complete rollout of new charging stations into
the intercharge network will be finished in the next weeks.
