Partnership for more range: Plugsurfing adds 20,000 new charging points to its network in Germany through partnership with SMART/LAB
Aachen / Berlin , 07 May 2024.
Plugsurfing, one of the largest providers of electric mobility services in Europe, has teamed up with the roaming platform e-clearing.net to offer e-car drivers in Germany access to over 20,000 charging points from the network coalition ladenetz.de and ladebusiness.
SMART/LAB represents over 260 energy suppliers and 190 companies throughout Germany under the ladenetz.de and ladebusiness networks, which together provide 20,000 charging points for over 180,000 customers. A partnership between SMART/LAB and Plugsurfing is now also made possible via e-clearing.net, an open data platform for e-mobility services: Plugsurfing users can use the e-clearing.net platform to access the ladenetz.de and ladebusiness networks.
These providers operate charging stations throughout Germany independently of each other and thus guarantee their customers convenient access to easily accessible infrastructure. The ongoing expansion of the national and international roaming network of ladenetz.de and ladebusiness offers additional charging options.
The Plugsurfing network of various e-mobility services brings more than 2 million users into the partnership with e-clearing.net and SMART/LAB.
