A market exploding in size
Millions of EVs are hitting the roads in the next decade, which translates into a tenfold demand for public charging stations in Europe. Although the market’s characteristics vary a lot by country, charging location, position in the value chain and business model, a smooth and consistent customer experience will be a key differentiator.
Players in the charging ecosystem are still shaping their roles and business models. Value chains are in their infancy, and competition for the EV consumer will increase as the strategic opportunity unfolds. It is reasonable to assume that software will be a key enabler and differentiator in the marketplace — and that good software supporting both the infrastructure and the consumer’s charging experience will give a competitive advantage to the companies that invest early and take the lead.
Cirit’s role
A dynamic market and rapid growth also bring challenges. Together with Cirit, IGL Technologies has been building and modernising their software foundation to enable effortless scaling and a superb customer experience. Cirit was the recommended choice because of its long and versatile experience in the web and mobile domains.
