Last Mile Solutions and Electra, a European electric vehicle specialist in fast charging, have reinforced their partnership with a direct connection. Upgrading to a peer-to-peer connection elevates the network speed and responsiveness, bringing benefits to both companies’ customers.
With the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) connection, data exchange between Last Mile Solutions and Electra becomes faster and even more reliable. The direct connection speeds up tariff management, connection maintenance and monitoring, as well as issue solving. It also brings cost reductions to Charge Point Operators (CPOs), as they do not have to pay a hub fee for transactions.
EV drivers who want to charge across Europe can be assured of having a stable charging experience and the most up-to-date pricing information for Electra’s 400 fast-charging stations. Thanks to the direct connection, EV drivers can now also initiate remote start and stop of charging simply through the application.
Martina Raschi, Roaming Manager at Last Mile Solutions, is thrilled about the collaboration. “The direct OCPI connection is a great development for us, Electra, and all our partners. Electra brings broad coverage to our partners who want to offer stable fast-charging to their clients – and now we can ensure an even faster connection. I look forward to collaborating with Electra in the future and enhancing the EV infrastructure together!”
Sophia Carter, Roaming Manager at Electra adds: “Electra is excited to launch this Direct Connection with Last Mile Solutions. Besides the many advantages for the end consumer of this direct connection, the partnership has also made it easier for us to roll-out our new feature that lets our app users integrate Last Mile Solutions roaming badges in our app! We are proud to continue collaborating with Last Mile Solutions to deliver innovative solutions that meet the evolving needs of EV drivers.”
