Landis+Gyr's EV Charging Business Picks Up Speed with Software Contract in New Zealand
CHAM, Switzerland, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Meridian Energy will deploy the OCEAN Charge Point Management System for the 
management and monetization of their public charging network across the country.

Etrel, a Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) company providing integrated e-mobility 
solutions, and Meridian Energy, New Zealand's largest electricity generator, 
signed an agreement to adopt the Etrel OCEAN Charge Point Management System for 
the management and monetization of Meridian's public charging network across 
the country. 
 
Etrel provides integrated EV charging solutions that support the deployment of 
electric vehicles by focusing primarily on charging technology for powering 
electric vehicles with green energy sources. Therefore, the selection of Etrel 
was a perfect match for Meridian, which generates electricity entirely from 
renewable sources – wind, water and sun.

Meridian's utmost priority is to ensure that its users have a smooth transition 
and experience using its EV charging network. OCEAN's white-label app will help 
them increase customer intimacy and build brand awareness while providing an 
outstanding charging experience. On top of this, OCEAN's extensive integration 
capabilities will allow Meridian to connect today's service offering with its 
EV charging service, making it easier for its private and business customers to 
switch to electric vehicles.

Tim Calder, Emerging Markets and Innovation Lead at Meridian is excited by the 
opportunity of working with Etrel to bring this software to the New Zealand 
market: "We know driving electric vehicles is not only great for the 
environment but also a great experience and we want to make sure that using our 
EV charging network is no different. Partnering with Etrel means EV drivers 
using our charging network will be well supported and get that great experience 
especially across key moments like signing up, finding and using a charger and 
making payment".

"We are proud to support Meridian's ambitious EV charging network rollout and 
help reach New Zealand's energy transition objectives", said Rok Poteko, Head 
of Software Sales at Etrel. "People are at the core of our e-mobility solutions 
- from the EV drivers who use our white-label app to our partners who manage 
their customers' journey in the back-end system. We will enable Meridian to 
provide a seamless EV charging experience."
