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.

Our partners rely on well-designed products and services to run their business and day-to-day operations. Plugsurfing Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Megan Pini sat down with Lena Myshelova, who recently joined us as our Design Lead, to get to know her approach to user-centered design thinking. Lena feels business applications deserve a bigger emphasis on the customer experience and has big plans for taking the Plugsurfing Power Platform to the next level.

At the heart of our alliance, the Plugsurfing Power Platform serves charge point operators. Our backend is a tried-and-tested tool that allows charge point operators to remotely operate and manage their charging networks. We’d like to lift the hood and show what makes our Power Platform a unique tool for managing the entire life cycle of your charging point network.

Late last year, we released Version 7 of the Plugsurfing app. We have rethought the platform's architecture from the ground up to ensure we are ready for the future. Version 7 doubles down on the basics by providing drivers the information they need to charge quickly and reliably while improving features like app navigation.

United Kingdom-based LiFe Network, owned and powered by RAW Charging, has begun working with Plugsurfing to further push their expansion across the UK and Europe. This partnership adds to Plugsurfing's growing network of charging points across the UK, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

Our team is working hard to deliver the future of emobility, and our Chief Product and Technology Officer Will Gill is building the technology to shape that future. He also drives an EV, giving him a deeper understanding of the innovations drivers need in the space. Plugsurfing Communications Manager Maxwell Philp recently chatted with Will about his experience driving an EV and what’s needed to bring the industry, and public charging, to the next level.

In Europe, temperatures are already dropping below freezing. For EV drivers, cold temperatures pose some novel challenges for both daily driving and longer journeys. Low temperatures can negatively impact range and charging capacity, and drivers need to take extra considerations into account when winter hits. If you recently bought or rented an EV and are hitting the wintry road for the first time on electricity, the Plugsurfing team has got your back.

To go on a road trip without a plan is the ultimate freedom that people crave from a car. There is a certain charm in jumping in a car without a destination in mind and seeing where the journey will take you.
