AgeVolt for public charger operators

Building a classic CPO means investing in a robust back-end, hardware testing, 24/7 operators and high-level circuit breakers – costs that will later be reflected in expensive kWh. AgeVolt offers a profitable, sustainable and meaningful solution: you can white-label the cloud-based MyAgeVolt back-end under your own brand, connect any AC/DC stations and immediately charge according to your own tariffs. Energy management minimizes fees for reserved capacity, modularity saves CAPEX and you can scale the entire ecosystem to new markets, languages ​​and loyalty programs from day one. We deliver hardware, helpdesk and billing "turnkey", or you choose only the services you need – and you operate the rest yourself.

Problem

  • Million-dollar entry ticket - robust back-end, OCPP integrations, clearing, and 24/7 monitoring require your own development team and data center.
  • CAPEX for hardware + connection – purchase of DC racks, construction work and high reserved capacity extend the ROI to 8-10 years.
  • Comprehensive operation - sourcing of spare parts, FW testing, hotline, SLA with distribution; without experience, there is a risk of long downtimes and fines.
  • Lack of a loyalty ecosystem – without an app and API, you can't offer discounts from retail partners or link fleet cards; drivers will prefer established networks.
  • Difficult expansion – each new location means repeated development, localization, and certifications; jumping into a foreign market is financially risky.

Possible consequences

If a CPO starts with an “in-house” solution, high fixed costs for software, hardware and reserved power start from day one, while revenues only grow as fast as the number of electric vehicles increases. Networks with dozens of stations often run in the red for years : average occupancy remains below 8%, the margin per kWh barely covers land rents and operating contracts, and each service outage increases the pay-back even more. Without loyalty integrations and fleet cards, drivers move to established networks, so a critical mass of customers only comes when the infrastructure has long been amortized . The result is delayed profitability, investor pressure to quickly reduce costs and the risk of selling the network below cost to a stronger player.

Solution

AgeVolt cuts future CPOs off the biggest hurdle – the need to build their own, expensive and years-old back-end. Our cloud platform MyAgeVolt works like a ready-made engine: you connect any AC/DC racks (ours or those you have already competed with), define the tariff and within an hour you can publish an application or portal in your own colors and domain . We handle all OCPP updates, roaming clearings, PSD2 payments, localizations and reporting to the regulator centrally; you invest only in what really adds value – in good locations and network marketing.

Thanks to the fact that AgeVolt already serves residential, corporate and retail micro-CPOs , your new stations will be instantly visible to thousands of existing users and fleet cards. While the competition spends thousands of euros per month to convince drivers to download another app, you start with real traffic from day one . You can set up loyalty points, happy hours or cooperation with retail chains directly in the console; invoices, VAT refunds and CO₂ reports are sent automatically - without a single Excel spreadsheet.

Dynamic energy management keeps operating costs in check: the platform monitors power consumption for each location and regulates power in real time so you don't pay for an oversized circuit breaker. SmartBase loop cabling shortens construction work - you "snap" the new rack into the existing circuit and the software immediately connects it to power management; no additional permitting procedures. If you want to handle your own helpdesk, hardware purchases or service in-house, simply disable the relevant modules - AgeVolt runs as SaaS : you only pay for what you use, and when expanding to a new country, you just need to switch the language and VAT rate.

The result? A profitable, sustainable and meaningful network that doesn’t fall into the red while the EV market matures; on the contrary, thanks to a shared user base and low fixed costs, it generates profit from the first megawatt hour consumed. AgeVolt is not your competition – we are the infrastructure that allows you to be a competitive CPO without having to invent an entire charging ecosystem from scratch first.
