Additionally, you need to fully control and manage the entire network of charging stations, granting differing roles and permissions to those who maintain and make use of them – from executives needing reporting on the global picture, to field operatives seeing which EVSEs need maintenance, to the private, public or mixed access granted to drivers.
Not only that, you need to not be reliant on a single OEM or hardware provider, or surrender customer relationships to a vertically-integrated software brand.
You want control – to white-label, to localize, to process payments, to enable (and charge for) EV roaming across other networks – in order to capitalize on the investment made on your charging infrastructure.
