FLEETCOR Technologies, a leading global business payments company, announced today the acquisition of Plugsurfing, a leading European electric vehicle (EV) software and network provider to vehicle OEMs, charge point operators (CPO), and fleets.

At EVS35 (The 35th Electric Vehicle Symposium) in Oslo, we had the chance to talk with Tine Holm-Hansen and Stig Werner Amundsen from Kople. They explained how Kople is getting ready for the summer and the challenges this busy time presents for CPOs.

Plugsurfing is excited to announce the latest addition to its alliance of carmakers, Chinese EV maker XPENG. XPENG drivers in Norway will get Plugsurfing’s charging solution and a cobranded charge key, which gives them access to public charging across Europe through Plugsurfing’s network of 300,000 charge points.

We recently sat down with Wilhelm Henriksonn, Plugsurfing’s previous Product Manager for the Roaming Marketplace team and now our Strategy and BI Lead, and Sajal Chakravarty, our newest team member who will manage the Roaming Marketplace, to talk about the philosophy behind their work.

Ava Peyrovan Jansson is the product manager responsible for the Developer Platform. Her team recently launched Drive API, a new product for carmakers that takes a step toward more carefree charging. Drive API enables any car maker to integrate Plugsurfing charging information directly into the car dashboard and the app, creating a seamless driver experience tailored to their brand.

NIO, the pioneering global smart EV company taking the electric car industry by storm, is partnering with Plugsurfing to provide its customers with one of the broadest and most reliable public charging networks.

We sat down with Ragnhild Hurum from Smart Service Norge, who supports Kople, and Aksel Alm Zachariassen, who works as a Mobility specialist from Fortum Markets to talk about their everyday challenges helping drivers charge and supporting business customers in managing their charger network.

When designing the Plugsurfing Power Platform, added flexibility with price profiles so charge point operators can create an unlimited number of profiles based on the characteristics defined by their partners.

EV drivers are all too familiar with how annoying it is to pull up to a charger that’s out of order or obstructed, especially when there’s no alternative nearby. To keep this from happening to drivers, charge point operators use management systems like the Plugsurfing Power Platform to ensure their chargers are online, operational, and delivering energy to drivers.
