By GlobalData"Millions of EVs will become available globally, and with it comes the need for a global charging infrastructure. For this to work a network built upon open standards is an absolute must, therefore we are happy to announce this historic agreement with ChargePoint to that aim," said Kristof Vereenooghe, CEO of EVBox.
The roaming agreement is based on the Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI) protocol.
