Dear Partners,?
Even though the temperatures outside recently have been low, the sun is shining bright, heralding a glorious month of May. EV charging is going strong, despite what some negative voices might say here and there. April started on a high note, with a fantastic summit in Oslo, where we had the pleasure of meeting a lot of familiar faces as well as some remarkably interesting new contacts. The feedback on our new Brand Identity and HARMON-E (pun intended!), our load & energy management platform, was extremely positive. We cannot wait to be standing again in our booth, in June, in Munich at Power2Drive.?
This month we bring you a couple of articles: one which focuses on CPO’s profitability challenge, and one which recaps the past month’s major “expansion newsâ€, a Rendez-vous which is expected by many of our readers. We also celebrate some of our latest partnerships within the ecosystem, with Pixii and Ekoenergetyka, two companies with whom we share the same drive for innovation.?
Thank you for being part of our community.?
Yours sincerely,?
Marketing Director FLEXECHARGE
A summit filled with high energy, innovation, and good vibes.
The Nordic EV Summit in Oslo was buzzing with excitement as we introduced our new brand identity and showcased HARMON-E, our cutting-edge load & energy management platform. Conversations with industry experts highlighted the growing importance of load & energy management. Our collaboration with Pixii promises to revolutionize EV charging by integrating stationary batteries. Other notable innovations included Ekoenergetyka's SAT 400 satellite and Axon Side 360 DLBS power unit, and Kempower's Megawatt Charging System designed for heavy-duty electric vehicles, supporting the drive towards sustainable commercial transport.?

Partnerships that bring value to our common customers
In April, we had the pleasure to celebrate two remarkable partnerships, Pixii and Ekoenergetyka. Those partnerships are reflecting the ever-growing importance for CPOs to establish fast-charging hubs and, at the same time, the significant challenges they encounter when pursuing this mission. We strive to build partnerships with companies we believe are animated with the same passion for innovation and who also focus on meeting ambitious CPOs’ needs. Moving forward, we are looking forward to communicating more actively on our partnerships.?
If you are keen to hear more about the perfect match between Ekoenergetyka’s reliable DC charging solutions and our platform, then read on here.?

Coming soon! Virtual panel about battery storage & EV charging
Within a few weeks, we will be hosting our very first virtual panel. It will be the first of a hopefully long series of exciting panel discussions, where we will invite thought leaders and innovative players from the ecosystem to discuss hot topics.?
The first one will address one of the hottest topics amongst CPOs and charging professionals: “BESS and EV chargingâ€. Battery storage could become a game-changer for charging operators, but the path ahead is filled with hurdles, from technological to regulatory. Leading experts and partners will join our very own CTO, Dr. Robert Brehm, in what will surely be a very stimulating discussion.?
