The EV charging industry has developed rapidly over the past decade. As charging networks grow and become more sophisticated, reliability, flexibility and strong partnerships are increasingly important.
Our partner CTEK recently featured ChargePanel in an article exploring our long-standing collaboration and how the combination of reliable charging hardware and flexible software can help create a better charging experience today while preparing operators for what comes next.
A partnership built over many years
ChargePanel and CTEK have worked together since the early days of ChargePanel. Today, thousands of CTEK charge points are connected to networks powered by our platform.
For ChargePanel, working with a broad ecosystem of charging hardware gives our customers the freedom to build and develop charging networks around their specific requirements. Our collaboration with CTEK is one example of how well-integrated hardware and software can contribute to stable, scalable charging operations.
Reliability is especially important as EV charging becomes an increasingly essential part of everyday mobility. Drivers need to know that charging will work when they need it, while charge point operators require technology they can depend on as their networks expand.
One example highlighted in CTEK’s article is Stockholm Parkering, where CTEK charging hardware is used extensively within a large charging network supported by ChargePanel.
Preparing for the next generation of EV charging
The article also looks beyond today’s charging infrastructure.
ChargePanel CEO and co-founder Peter Persson discusses the rapid pace of innovation within the EV ecosystem and some of the technologies expected to play a growing role in the years ahead.
Among them is Plug & Charge, which can make the charging experience increasingly seamless by allowing compatible vehicles, charging hardware and software platforms to work together with minimal interaction from the driver.
Dynamic charging linked to energy prices, Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) technology and deeper integration between charging and fleet operations are also creating new opportunities.
For fleet and leasing companies in particular, charging is becoming an increasingly important part of their core operations. Greater control over charging infrastructure, transactions and data can help these businesses manage the transition to electric mobility more effectively.
Hardware and software working together
The continued development of EV charging depends on many parts of the ecosystem working together.
For ChargePanel, partnerships with charging hardware manufacturers such as CTEK are an important part of that picture. Combining dependable hardware with flexible software allows operators to build charging services that can adapt as technology, customer expectations and business models evolve.
We’re pleased to see our partnership and shared journey highlighted by CTEK, and we look forward to continuing to contribute to smarter, more reliable and accessible EV charging.
