Edison – a leading energy company, with over 140 years of history and records that make it the oldest operator in the sector in Europe – launches a new e-Mobility app and platform with Landis+Gyr OCEAN EV Charging Software, which provides access to more than 30,000 charging stations from Edison and other major operators in Italy.
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”, states 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,” says Antonella Periti, Chief Information Officer of Edison.
She continues: “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.”
“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,” indicates Matevž Mencin, Senior Key Account Manager at Landis+Gyr EV Solutions.
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.
