Norwegian charge point operator Kople is set to enhance its electric vehicle charging network by adopting the Driivz platform, a move aimed at improving the charging experience.

This decision comes after a meticulous selection process where Kople identified Driivz as a provider capable of delivering high uptime and advanced network management.

The migration involves over 7,000 public and private charging connectors and will incorporate Driivz’s integrated software modules. These modules cover charge point and network operations, billing, and, planned for future use, smart energy management. Kople aims to meet the increasing demand for user-friendly and high-quality EV charging solutions in Norway, where electric vehicles constitute a quarter of passenger cars.

Driivz’s technology promises to enhance service quality for both EV drivers and Kople’s partners. The platform’s operations management module monitors charger status round-the-clock and uses self-healing algorithms to proactively resolve approximately 80% of operational issues, ensuring high levels of charger availability.

The Driivz solution also includes a white-label mobile app offering real-time charger location and availability, charger reservations, and support for multiple payment options. In addition, Kople will utilize Driivz’s InSite™ module for management, reporting, and driver support tools tailored to its business customers.

Kople, owned by Cube Infrastructure Managers and Ringerikskraft, builds and operates a variety of charging facilities, including those for municipalities, businesses, and utility companies. The robust billing features of the Driivz platform, which simplify financial operations and payment processing, were also a crucial factor in Kople’s decision.

This strategic move by Kople, leveraging Driivz’s technology, is expected to significantly contribute to the company’s expansion and the overall enhancement of Norway’s EV infrastructure.
