Last Mile Solutions on expansion course in Europe

Last Mile Solutions says it offers a ‘comprehensive management platform for electric vehicle charging infrastructure and energy transactions for charging point operators (CPOs) and e-mobility service providers (eMSPs)’. “Managing over 1 million active charge cards and 3.5 million charging transactions per month, the company offers scalability and flexibility to businesses in Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary,” it says.

With regard to Central and Eastern Europe, Katarzyna Ciarkowsa, Regional Manager at Last Mile Solutions, says: “Our expertise and background fit perfectly with the region’s rapidly growing EV charging infrastructure. Our roaming network of over 700,000 charge points already provides extensive charging coverage across Central and Eastern Europe.” With the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, the company is now expanding into other European countries. “The EV charging market is on the verge of explosive growth. We’ve helped our partners in Western Europe navigate a similar surge during the last ten years. Now, we’re ready to bring that expertise and momentum to the Central and Eastern European region. Exciting times are ahead,” added Joris Hupperets, Chief Commercial Officer at Last Mile Solutions. However, no further details are given in the brief announcement.

However, the company recently announced another new development. Last Mile Solutions and the charging infrastructure operator Electra want to “strengthen their partnership with a direct connection.” The upgrade to a peer-to-peer connection is intended to increase network speed and responsiveness. The connection via the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) is intended to make data exchange between Last Mile Solutions and Electra faster and even more reliable. Become. The direct connection should also speed up tariff management, maintenance and monitoring of connections and problem-solving. It would also bring cost savings for charging point operators (CPOs) “as they do not have to pay a hub fee for transactions.”

“EV drivers who want to charge across Europe can be assured of having a stable charging experience and the most up-to-date pricing information for Electra’s 400 fast-charging stations. Thanks to the direct connection, EV drivers can now also initiate remote start and stop of charging simply through the application,” writes Last Mile Solutions.
