This makes traveling for EV-drivers easier and more confident and provides industry stakeholders market intelligence for planning and making critical infrastructure decisions.

The purchase enables us to offer our customers top notch IT-Services and leading electric mobility solutions", says Elke Temme Senior Vice President electric mobility at innogy SE.
