The deal with CTEK involves the supply of EV charging equipment and associated software, along with other support services through a service level agreement (SLA) to help Vattenfall maximise customer value and ensure customer satisfaction.
The CTEK deal is centred around its Chargestorm Connected charging station which the company claims is "widely recognised for its safety, design and integrated technology".
For maximum flexibility and to meet individual customer need, wallbox installations can supported by products such as NanoGrid Load balancing and Vattenfall's InCharge cloud to ensure Vattenfall customers have full control of their EV charging.
For larger corporate and commercial installations, Vattenfall's cloud-based products support the operation, monitoring and administration of users and public charging stations.
CTEK CEO Jon Lind said: "We already have a proven track record with Vattenfall and have successfully delivered products and solutions with them in the Scandinavian markets. The award of this contract is a real testament to the quality and reliability of our products and our complete end-to-end system."
CTEK has just opened a dedicated EV 'centre of excellence in Norrkoping, 160km (100 miles) from Stockholm, with research and development labs, testing facilities and an education centre. It is also the base for quality, sales and marketing, and customer support workers.
