Written by Tanja Mešiček | 26-Sep-2024 07:22:44

The ultimate wish of every Charge Point Operator (CPO) is to maximize the utilization of their charging stations. Simply put, the goal is to have more people using your charging stations.  

To attract more EV drivers, it’s essential to ensure that your services are also available via multiple platforms that are strongly present in your region. There are many companies successfully providing different services via their applications to users and the powerful ones are starting to enhance their core & strong offerings with new extended & complementary services via one Super app.  

One solution that effectively addresses this is the OCEAN integration with EasyPark. Here’s why: 

  • EasyPark is the nr.1 parking app in Europe when it comes to coverage already known and used by millions of people across Europe, so users are familiar with its functionality
  • Integrating your charging stations with a well-known app like EasyPark is bound to increase the utilization of your stations and enable EV drivers utilizing one app to pay for parking and EV charging. 

It's a win-win situation: you aim to attract more EV drivers, and we provide you with the tools to achieve this goal. 

After successfully linking Ocean CPO with EasyPark EMSP, the EV driver can simply start charging directly via the EasyPark app. This functions as standard EMSP-CPO roaming. 

 

Why EasyPark Integration?  

By integrating your charging stations with EasyPark, you can significantly enhance user experience. It is a widely recognized app used by millions across Europe, making it a familiar tool for many EV drivers. The company is present in over 4,000 cities across more than 20 countries. 

EV drivers can easily locate your charging stations. The app shows available plugs at each station. On location they simply plug in the EV, select the plug in the app, confirm their details, and tap to start charging. 

 

Key EV driver Benefit: Paying for Charging & Parking at the Same Time 

This integration allows EV drivers to pay for both charging and parking via the EasyPark app, addressing two user needs at once. Charging sessions can be stopped anytime without ending the parking session. 

Here is exactly how it works:

  • After the connection between your Ocean system & EasyPark is established, the EasyPark EV driver can start charging via the EasyPark app.
  • EasyPark receives all static and dynamic data about the charging stations. 
  • The user selects the desired charging station in the EasyPark app, where they would like to park and charge, and starts the charging session. 
  • EasyPark sends a start transaction request to Ocean, and Ocean initiates the charging session. 
  • Once the session is completed, charging data record (CDR) is sent to EasyPark, which handles the billing and charges the EV driver. 
    • The integration with EasyPark offers a streamlined experience for EV drivers, allowing them to pay for charging and parking using one well-known application. This solution ensures higher utilization of your charging stations while providing convenience for drivers. Join us in improving urban life by making EV charging as simple as possible.
