Driivz, an Israeli-based software supplier to EV charging operators and service providers, announced Monday that Shell (NYSE:) has selected the Driivz EV charging and smart energy management platform to help accelerate the expansion of new charging locations in more than 10 European countries.
Compatible with various charger types and standards, Driivz’s software will enable Shell to spread the new tech rapidly throughout Europe. Shell wants to reduce its CO2 emission levels by 20% by 2030 and be able to provide renewable energy for 50 million households in the same year. To do this, Shell hopes to operate over 500,000 charge points globally by 2025 and 2,500,000 by 2030.
“We are thrilled to help Shell realize its commitment to providing the best and most convenient EV charging experience available,” said Doron Frenkel, CEO and founder of Driivz. “We are excited about the synergies between our two companies and our shared vision for emobility and sustainability for the health of the planet.”
Shell will use Driivz’s EV charge point operations management software as the framework for new installations in Austria and France.
Acquired by Vontier Corp (NYSE:) in February 2022, Driivz platform manages tens of thousands of EV chargers in North America, Europe, and APAC, used by more than 1 million EV drivers.
