Schneider Electric’s EV charging management solutions are tailored to address diverse regional demands through two main platforms: EV Connect, which primarily serves North America and Oceania, and the EcoStruxure EV Advisor for European markets. Schneider Electric’s acquisition of EV Connect in June 2022 expanded its global reach and strengthened its energy management offerings, benefiting a wide array of clients, including charge point operators, Fortune 500 companies, and fleet transportation providers.

These platforms aim to enhance uptime performance, improve user satisfaction, and reduce the total time-to-repair, thereby minimizing the risk of stranded charging assets.
Schneider Electric offers a fully integrated, turnkey approach to EV infrastructure management. This includes services such as installation, hardware provisions, software management, and operations and maintenance (O&M). Additionally, their platforms focus on ensuring scalability, reliability, and security, essential for supporting a seamless user experience.
The 2024 IDC MarketScape report highlights Schneider Electric’s comprehensive approach, which includes delivering customized EV solutions designed to meet diverse needs while ensuring maximum uptime and efficient operations. The company’s approach to turnkey service includes 24/7 support capabilities, which are crucial for its global deployment and ongoing integration into the broader electrification and energy management portfolio.
