The Driivz solution for St1 delivers advanced EV charging operations management for service station chains. The cloud-based platform provides real-time operator dashboards, comprehensive asset management, an automated issue detection and alert system, and proactive problem resolution powered by self-healing algorithms that can address up to 80% of productivity and operational problems.
“To build an EV charging business that consistently delivers the same level of service that our traditional fuelling customers enjoy, we needed a robust, flexible back-end system,” said Oscar Sandström, director of strategy and energy transition at St1. “We selected Driivz as our platform provider because we trust the company’s ability to support St1’s growth in the long run. Driivz has a proven track record and shares our commitment to ensuring reliability and an exceptional charging experience.”
St1 has strategically positioned itself as a provider of EV charging infrastructure, building on its own network of retail service stations with convenience stores/cafes at attractive locations for the customer. The company has invested in a network of High-Performance Charging (HPC) stations at highway and metropolitan locations across Norway to meet soaring demand. It is now building out infrastructure in Sweden and Finland in line with the rapidly growing EV fleet.
“Our stations are destinations in their own right, and they are located where drivers already expect to make refuelling stops,” said Sandström. “This network aims to make EV charging and payments convenient and accessible to all, with a maximum uptime, thereby encouraging the transition towards cleaner transportation alternatives.”
The Driivz platform ensures a future-proof solution for St1’s growing EV charging business through its modularity, compliance with industry standards, support for multiple charger types, and eRoaming capabilities.

The site also has a playground, training area, a dog park, a café and outdoor seating. The Shell Lonelier site represents St1's vision for the future of energy stations. Photo: St1
