Ericsson has released the Connected EV Charging report in collaboration with EV charging provider Blue Corner, its connectivity provider Orange Belgium, and Arthur D. Little.

The report states that as consumers, governments and the automotive industry look toward a more sustainable and efficient alternative to fossil-fuelled vehicles, EV charging providers recognise a business growth opportunity.

However, they are facing the challenge of effectively operating and maintaining a fast-growing number of charging stations, and ensuring that stations are utilised and profitable, while offering a seamless charging experience to their customers.

Ericsson’s report explores how cellular IoT connectivity can help EV charging providers improve their charging station deployment, operations, maintenance, and service provisioning.
