Kempower, a leading manufacturer of DC fast charging solutions, is enhancing its service offering with service packages, which are designed to help its direct customers – charging operators and charging infrastructure asset owners – reduce costs, simplify operations, and improve long-term return on investment.

Kempower laajentaa tarjontaansa palvelupaketeilla, jotka tukevat lataustoiminnan optimointia ja kustannustehokkuutta22.10.2026 09:00:00 EEST | Tiedote
DC-pikalatausratkaisujen valmistaja Kempower laajentaa palvelutarjontaansa palvelupaketeilla, jotka on suunniteltu tukemaan yhtiön suoria asiakkaita, latausoperaattoreita ja latausinfrastruktuurin omistajia, vähentämään käyttökustannuksia, yksinkertaistamaan lataustoimintaa sekä parantamaan pitkän aikavälin sijoitetun pääoman tuottoa. Sähköautojen latausverkostojen laajentuessa nopeasti on latausinfrastruktuurin suorituskyvyn ylläpidosta ja käyttökustannusten hallinnasta muodostunut kasvava haaste. Ennakoimattomat huoltotarpeet, hajanaiset palvelumallit ja yhä monimutkaisemmat järjestelmät haastavat latausoperaattoreita löytämään entistä tehokkaampia ja skaalautuvampia palveluratkaisuja. Kempower vastaa haasteisiin tarjoamalla jäsenneltyjä, palvelutasosopimukseen perustuvia palvelupaketteja, jotka muuttavat huollon reaktiivisesta taakasta ennustettavaksi ja ammattimaisesti hallinnoiduksi prosessiksi. Ensimmäisessä vaiheessa palvelupaketit ovat Kempowerin asiakkaiden saatavilla Pohjoism
Kempower and Evergreen Mobility partner to build France’s heavy-duty charging network21.10.2026 10:30:00 EEST | Press release
The DC fast charging manufacturer Kempower has partnered with French heavy-duty charging specialist Evergreen Mobility to bolster fleet charging across France and support the transition to e-trucks. Electric trucks are reaching European roads faster than the corresponding chargers. Based on the data by ICCT, ACEA and VDA, EU registrations of electrically chargeable trucks rose 47.7% in H1 2026, yet Europe only has around 730 public truck chargers above 350 kW, against an estimated need of 35,000-megawatt chargers by 2030. Fleet operators can buy the trucks today, but fast charging where their trucks already stop is still lacking. To address this, Evergreen Mobility is investing heavily to deploy heavy-duty charging stations located at the country’s strategic transit hubs and has chosen Kempower as its charging technology partner. The partnership encompasses both high-power on-the-go charging at public locations and steadier depot charging for overnight recharging opportunities. As part
