Circle K updates EV charging management across Europe and North America

The retailer has partnered with Driivz to migrate its network of more than 600 public charging stations across both continents to the supplier’s platform.

Circle K has migrated its management network of more than 600 public EV charging stations in Europe and North America. The retailer has partnered with Driivz to upgrade its e-mobility management solutions to optimize its operations across both continents.

The new platform includes integrated software modules for EV charging operations optimization, asset management, user and driver management, EV billing and analytics. It also includes Driivz smart energy management solution for monitoring, managing and optimizing energy consumption across multi-charger sites, campuses, fleet depots and home charging.

“We needed a future-proof, robust EV charging management solution with the scalability to handle our rapid growth and the flexibility to connect EV charging to the wider Circle K ecosystem. The partnership with Driivz will enable us to scale our business, capture synergies across countries and continents and help meet our customers’ expectations for availability, stability and a seamless charging experience,” said Johan Grönlund, Product Director of the New Global eMobility division of Circle K.

Circle K selected Driivz after a formal competitive evaluation process. Support for cross-border payments, multiple currencies and tariffs, complex reconciliations and international roaming were essential requirements for Circle K’s business in both Europe and North America.
