Edison says the initiative improves the user experience, enabling drivers to plan trips with charging points always at hand via an intuitive and functional app.
Edison aims to achieve an 8% market share in the supply of electricity used for recharging electric vehicles and to install over 100,000 charging points (cumulative), including innovative solutions such as smart charging and V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid).
“The collaboration with Landis+Gyr gives us the opportunity to rely on a competitive and specialized product, that will constantly evolve following the dynamic and developing market we’re operating in. We chose a product capable of managing e-Mobility activities and services dedicated to both residential and commercial or public customers”, says Davide Dotti, business innovation director of Edison.
“By adopting a single software platform, we are able to offer different customer segments personalized experiences based on their needs, so as to constantly improve the use of e-Mobility services. With Landis+Gyr and our Italian partner we have built a very scalable and flexible architecture, that allows us to reduce the time-to-market of bids and initiatives and ensure high service levels. Also through these technology solutions, Edison affirms its commitment to transformation in the Energy Market according to our Sustainability and Strategic Plan,” says Antonella Periti, chief information officer of Edison.
"We are proud to partner with Edison and support them in enhancing and expanding their EV charging services," said Matevž Mencin, senior key account manager at Landis+Gyr EV Solutions. "Customer satisfaction and user experience are the main pillars of our business cooperations. With this in mind, we look forward to seeing Edison gain a better overview and control of their charging network through OCEAN, while their users enjoy a seamless interface."
In e-Mobility, Edison operates through two companies: Edison Energia, which is active in the sale of electricity and gas to households and businesses and provides value-added services to the retail market, will offer the new app to end customers; Edison Next, besides accompanying companies and territories on their path to decarbonisation and ecological transition, will use the platform to manage charging infrastructures.
