The European EV charging and smart energy management platform provider Last Mile Solutions has announced its operational expansion into the United Kingdom.

Last Mile Solutions is now expanding into the UK after building out its operations across 22 European countries, with what it says are 190 charge point operators.

Earlier this year, the company partnered up with Maserati to establish new payment standards for the electric vehicle charging industry. In May this year, leasing provider Arval entered into charging infrastructure partnerships with Fastned and Last Mile Solutions. Fastned gives Arval customers access to over 300 HPC parks in seven European countries while Last Mile Solutions’ expertise in the field of charging management is to complement Arval’s position in the fleet leasing industry.

Last Mile Solutions provides Europe’s largest EV charging and smart energy management platforms for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and e-Mobility Service Providers (eMSPs). The platform connects more than 200,000 charge points directly and over 600,000 charge points through its roaming network. The pan-European company manages over 1 million active charge cards and 3.5 million charging transactions per month.

Last Mile Solutions says it ‘connects the dots’ with its remotely managed digital products, adapting its flexible energy transaction platform to an organization’s needs. The company has also been part of cooperations on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) projects in the Netherlands from 2021. The company started up in 1997 with remote management SaaS software for the IT, Telecom, e-mobility and energy sectors, commissioning its smart-grid technology at Schiphol Airport with the simultaneous charging of 64 Tesla taxis in 2015.

Giles Shrimpton, Business Development Director for the UK said, “We are proud to bring unparalleled European expertise to the UK. CPOs and eMSPs need a reliable and experienced partner who is fully conforming to UK requirements. Our solution is fully adapted and compatible with the market’s specific characteristics, such as payment options and taxation.”
