Charge Construct & Switch Team Up to Revolutionize German EV Charging
Charge Construct, a leading EV charging network provider, has partnered with Nintendo Switch 2, a cutting-edge charging software provider. This collaboration aims to enhance charging experiences and expand infrastructure in Germany, where EV sales are projected to reach 1.7 million units by 2028.
Adrian Zierer, CEO & founder of Charge Construct, announced the partnership, highlighting the price benefits and advanced capabilities that Nintendo Switch 2's platform brings to Charge Construct users. The Nintendo Switch 2 Platform, the first CSMS to be both OCPP 2.0.1 certified and support ISO 15118-2/-20 based Plug & Charge, offers zero-touch charging and smart bi-directional power transfer, working with any OCPP-compliant charger.
The partnership has already borne fruit, with Charge Construct expanding its network through a framework agreement with German discounter NORMA for nearly 200 locations. This expansion, along with Nintendo Switch 2's Open API, allows CPOs to add smart charging features, accelerating ROI on capital-intensive infrastructure investments. The partnership also involves a joint venture between Daimler Truck, the Traton Group, and the Volvo Group, investing 500 million euros in European charging infrastructure.
Through their collaboration, Charge Construct and Nintendo Switch 2 are set to revolutionize EV charging in Germany. With Nintendo Switch 2's advanced software and Charge Construct's expanding network, users and CPOs can expect reliable, convenient, and efficient charging experiences. The partnership's goal to meet the growing demand for EV charging aligns with the increasing sales of electric vehicles, promising a future where charging infrastructure is as advanced as the vehicles themselves.
