The Driivz solution for St1 delivers advanced EV charging
operations management for service station chains. The cloud-based
platform provides real-time operator dashboards, comprehensive
asset management, an automated issue detection and alert system,
and proactive problem resolution powered by self-healing algorithms
that can address up to 80 percent of productivity and operational
problems.
“To build an EV charging business that consistently delivers the
same level of service that our traditional fueling customers enjoy,
we needed a robust, flexible back-end system,” said Oscar
Sandstr�m, Director of Strategy and Energy Transition at St1. “We
selected Driivz as our platform provider because we trust the
company’s ability to support St1’s growth in the long run. Driivz
has a proven track record and shares our commitment to ensuring
reliability and an exceptional charging experience.”
St1 has strategically positioned itself as a provider of EV
charging infrastructure, building on its own network of retail
service stations with convenience stores/cafes at attractive
locations for the customer. The company has invested in a network
of High-Performance Charging (HPC) stations at highway and
metropolitan locations across Norway to meet soaring demand. It is
now building out infrastructure in Sweden and Finland in line with
the rapidly growing EV fleet.
“Our stations are destinations in their own right, and they are
located where drivers already expect to make refueling stops,” said
Sandstr�m. “This network aims to make EV charging and payments
convenient and accessible to all, with a maximum uptime, thereby
encouraging the transition towards cleaner transportation
alternatives.”
The Driivz platform ensures a future-proof solution for St1’s
growing EV charging business through its modularity, compliance
with industry standards, support for multiple charger types, and
eRoaming capabilities.
“We are honored that St1 has chosen Driivz to help transition
its Nordic retail network from gas stations to energy stations as
we work together toward a sustainable future,” said Doron Frenkel,
founder and CEO of Driivz. “By building technically advanced,
driver-centric and future-proof EV charging infrastructure, St1 is
promoting the adoption of electric vehicles today while positioning
its operations for continued commercial success.”
