ChargeX: Reaching for the cloud to
enable the rapid expansion of charge
point infrastructure
Germany-based ChargeX GmbH engages in developing charging hardware and charging
services for electric vehicles. The company is committed to meeting the overwhelming
demand for convenient charging solutions despite a constrained power grid and a lack of
skilled labor. Looking to reshape the inflexible, manual, and time-consuming legacy
onboarding processes for new charging stations, ChargeX sought another way. The goal
was to cut costs for customers by minimizing manual labor in the installation process and
ensure a flexible, cost-efficient scaling process for charging infrastructure.
Solving the challenges of skilled worker shortages in e-mobility
and bottlenecks in the power grid
