• CURRENT’s SmartCharge is a cloud-based, turnkey operating platform for electric-vehicle charging networks. It connects station owners/operators, charger manufacturers and installers, automates infrastructure management and supports remote maintenance. Operators use its dashboard for historical data, operations, energy optimisation and payments, including dynamic pricing based on user, power and/or time. Owners can offer electricity they generate themselves.
• The SmartCharge app helps drivers locate a suitable charger, plan routes using factors such as traffic and pay. The article says a lack of real-time availability, status and price information can create charging anxiety and leave infrastructure underused, reducing owners’ potential revenue. Live information is intended to improve station utilisation and driver experience.
• Aggregated e-mobility data may offer additional insights for drivers, operators and communities. The article suggests easier charging could support EV adoption and lower transport emissions and local air pollution; it does not quantify platform-attributable emissions reductions.
• The company said SmartCharge was available in six countries and expected rapid expansion, with the platform adaptable to local-market needs. Market context cites 1.6 million EVs on roads at the end of 2021 and 75% global electric-car-sales growth in Q1 2022 versus Q1 2021; these are historical figures. Linked to SDGs 3, 7 and 11.
