Outcomes Award
New Zealand Energy Excellence Awards 2022
Counties Energy is driving change in the New Zealand e-mobility market, through OpenLoop.
The smart, open EV charging platform was developed to simplify the charging process for users and to widen the number of charging sites they can access. One of the biggest outcomes delivered by OpenLoop was bringing competition into the previously closed New Zealand EV charging market. Its fully customisable shared platform benefits charge point owners who are able to join a larger 'virtual' network of charging sites for the general public. It also offers a simple and cost-effective solution for commercial users of large fleets, electric buses and trucks, and home EV charging.
