As the world shifts towards sustainable energy, the electric vehicle (EV) industry is growing rapidly, with over 30 million EVs on the road worldwide. Charge Point Operators (CPOs) play a crucial role in this ecosystem, providing EV drivers with convenient and efficient charging solutions. Notably, 50% of new car sales are expected to be electric by 2030. Moreover, by 2030, over 130 million electric vehicles are expected to be on the road globally, driving the need for seamless charging experiences. However, one of the biggest barriers to adoption remains the fragmented and frustrating charging experience for EV drivers, highlighting the need for innovative solutions to bridge this gap and support the mass adoption of electric vehicles.

 The Challenges of EV Charging

Charging an electric vehicle can be a daunting task. Most charge point operators manage their stations independently, resulting in a fragmented experience for drivers. This leads to a host of issues, including:

· Difficulty finding available charging stations: With no centralized platform, drivers often rely on online directories or mobile apps to find charging stations. However, these resources may not always be up-to-date or accurate.

· Uncertainty around pricing and payment methods: Charging station operators often have different pricing structures and payment methods, which can be confusing for drivers.

· Lack of personalized charging plans and rewards: Without a centralized platform, drivers may not have access to personalized charging plans or rewards programs.
