Duracell picks Driivz to support EV charging network roll-out

Driivz has announced a partnership to support the scaling of the Duracell E-Charge ultra-fast EV charging network across the UK.

The deal will see the Duracell E-Charge network use Driivz’s EV charging software platform to manage operations, billing, driver services, roaming and reporting across sites operating under the Duracell E-Charge brand.

Given the Government’s growing insistence that EV charger operators ensure that their chargers are actually well maintained and available for public use, many have been leaning on technology to help. For Duracell, the Driivz platform will enable real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics and issue resolution, as well as session data, billing and settlement tools. 

Duracell will also use Driivz’s roaming capabilities, based on OCPI, to support higher network utilisation and revenue opportunities.

“Duracell E-Charge is being built to set a new benchmark for ultra-fast charging in the UK. That means high uptime, simple pricing and a consistently reliable experience for drivers,” said Mark Bloxham, Managing Director of Duracell E-Charge. 

“Driivz gives us the platform to scale quickly while maintaining control, performance and commercial efficiency as the network grows.”

“Charging networks that can scale, while optimizing their current operations to ensure seamless charging experiences for drivers now and in the years to come, are the networks that will lead the way in the future of mobility,” added Shiri Levi-Laor, CEO of Driivz.

“We’re proud to support the rollout of the Duracell E-Charge network across the UK.”
