Volue and Deftpower have partnered to revolutionize electric vehicle (EV) charging in Norway, introducing smart solutions to address inconsistent standards, network interoperability, and pricing inefficiencies. As a global leader in EV adoption, Norway still grapples with a fragmented charging network that complicates the user experience. This collaboration aims to streamline charging, reduce costs, and bolster grid sustainability, creating a more efficient and eco-friendly system for EV owners.
Key Highlights:
- Launch of Ladeklubben with Norsk Elbilforening to enhance charging interoperability and improve user experience across Norway.
- Incentives for EV owners to charge during off-peak hours, easing grid strain and promoting sustainable energy use.
- Discounts for grid-friendly charging in Norgesnett areas, rewarding drivers for energy-efficient habits.
- Volue’s technology optimizes excess energy, supporting cost savings and grid reliability.
- Deftpower’s platform connects drivers, energy providers, and networks, driving efficiency and affordability in the EV ecosystem.
Norway’s EV charging landscape has long been plagued by disjointed standards and unpredictable pricing, frustrating drivers despite the country’s high EV adoption rates. Volue and Deftpower, alongside Norsk Elbilforening, are tackling these challenges head-on. Their joint efforts prioritize smarter charging habits—like shifting usage to off-peak times—which not only benefit consumers with lower costs but also stabilize the energy grid as EV demand grows.
Deftpower’s CEO, Jacob van Zonneveld, underscored the shift: “By working together with Volue, we are making smart charging the norm rather than the exception, and we’re enabling EV drivers to charge when it’s most cost-effective and beneficial for the grid.” Meanwhile, Volue’s Head of Spark, Kjetil Storset, added: “Smart EV charging isn’t just about convenience—it’s about transforming home charging from a grid challenge into a key part of the energy solution.”
This partnership sets a precedent for Europe, leveraging cutting-edge technology to unify the charging ecosystem. By aligning consumer needs with grid resilience, Volue and Deftpower are paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
