About Hubject

Hubject simplifies the charging of electric vehicles. Through its eRoaming platform intercharge the eMobility specialist connects Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Service Providers (EMPs)to provide standardized access to charging infrastructure regardless of any network. Hubject has established the world’s largest cross-provider charging network for electric vehicles by connecting CPO networks encompassing over 600,000 connected charging points and more than 2,000 B2B partners across 60 countries and four continents.

The e-mobility industry is growing extremely fast. The number of electric vehicles (EVs) and charge points is increasing every month.

The market is expanding not only in existing segments but also in new ones. There is strong interest in charge points and services for electric trucks and larger fleets. As volumes grow, markets that were once niche are expanding and becoming vibrant, resulting in new entrants into the market. This further leads to the development of new business models and customer needs.

To support the existing and fresh industry requirements and fast acceleration to sustainable mobility, we help our EMSP and CPO customers deliver on their promise of charging anywhere, anytime, through our roaming network.

GreenFlux’s roaming network is spread across Europe.

Our EMSP and CPO customers do not need to establish hundreds of technical connections and contracts or worry about compliance or financial settlement with any external networks. We do all that for them.

By opting for our managed roaming service, CPO and EMSP customers give their EV drivers access to GreenFlux’s extensive roaming network. This is different from self-managed roaming, wherein customers choose to manage their own roaming partner agreements.

And the good news is that now we operate one of the biggest EV roaming networks, with over half a million charge points spread across Europe.

500,000+ EV charge points and counting!

We have come a long way. Our roaming network consisted of around 185,000 charge points at the end of 2021. We witnessed exponential growth, almost tripling the number of charge points within two years. And this does not stop here.

We added more than 30 partners in 2023 itself. We will continue to expand our network and help our partners make on-the-go charging easy for their drivers.

‘There are a number of differentiators for EMSPs in this young but fast-growing market, and of those, the size of the network is probably the most important and certainly the most visible one,’ said Rutger Plantenga, managing director and chief product officer at GreenFlux.

Our extensive EV roaming network

We are constantly investing heavily to have good coverage in all European markets.

‘While some markets were historically less open to roaming, we now see all markets gradually opening up. Even so, significant investments are going into being compliant in every market, both from legal and fiscal viewpoints as well as in terms of the technical standards used,’ added Rutger.

With new partnerships, we have nearly 100 percent roaming coverage in the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France, and Austria. And we are fast expanding in other countries, such as Spain, Norway, Hungary, Sweden, and the UK, to name a few.

In France, we expanded rapidly this year by signing new contracts with sustainable partners and growing our network with the existing ones. EV drivers of our customers can now charge stress-free in France thanks to our new contracts with Endesa, Power Dot, Electra, and QPark, to name a few. This year we also grew our network size with Alizè Libertè, Belib Paris, Driveco, Freshmile, and Indigo Park, among others.

We have always had a comprehensive roaming network in the Netherlands. But now our EMSP and CPO customers can promise 100 percent coverage to their drivers as we signed new contracts with some smart partners like Awesems and Robo Charge, among others.

Amsterdam, July 25, 2023 – GreenFlux, a pioneer in EV smart charging technology, announces the launch of the world’s first large-scale, cloud-based, and hardware-agnostic smart charging algorithm for DC fast charge stations. The launch marks a new milestone in the EV charging solutions and software provider’s pursuit of enabling the smartest eMobility services in the world.

Complementing the company’s other smart charging offerings, this new DC-specific algorithm is designed to make sure that the combined power consumption of a group of charge stations automatically stays below a certain limit. The algorithm has already been incorporated into GreenFlux’s commercial portfolio and used at scale in the market by its customers.

‘Smart charging has become even smarter. Our new algorithm, designed specifically for DC charge stations, brings all of the advantages of a cloud-based solution to DC charging hubs. Now, charge point operators (CPOs) can sustainably expand their fast-charging network without any concerns,’ said Bob Elders, Product Manager, Smart Charging at GreenFlux.

GreenFlux’s smart charging technology is run from the cloud and applied using open standards, giving customers real-time control over any type of charge station. These solutions help CPOs save on infrastructure costs and yearly fees by facilitating the installation of more charge stations on existing grid connections. Further, they provide the opportunity for operators to monetise the flexibility of EV charging and facilitate charging even more vehicles with energy from renewable energy sources, namely the sun and wind.

As a smart charging innovation leader, GreenFlux was quick to identify the need for cloud-based, hardware-agnostic smart charging with DC fast chargers. In developing this new algorithm, the company aimed to provide CPOs with the tools to expand their fast-charging network more quickly.

‘Considering the investment required to setup and manage DC-charging hubs, avoiding hardware-vendor lock-in and maximising revenue potential are critically important. This is exactly what our new DC smart charging solution is designed to do,’ said Rutger Plantenga, MD and Chief Product Officer at GreenFlux. 

About Smart Charging

 Smart charging is defined as increasing or decreasing the maximum charge rate of an EV over a set period of time. Smart charging is a means to optimise power distribution and charge more electric vehicles at the same time and at a faster rate. Its utilisation leads to considerable savings for grid operators, CPOs, charge point owners, and EV drivers. Cloud-based smart charging can be implemented dynamically and in response to different triggers, such as capacity limitations (static or dynamic) and energy tariff fluctuations. Plus, GreenFlux’s smart charging solutions can be applied to any type or brand of charge station.
