ZES and electrip, innovative ventures of Zorlu Enerji & WrenHouse operating under Electrip Global Ltd, have joined forces with Hubject, the foremost global EV charging network, to advance e-roaming services.
Marking a significant milestone in the EV charging sector, ZES, a leading Turkish charge point operator, and electrip, a new entrant in the European CPO market, have entered into a strategic alliance with Hubject, the world’s largest provider of charging networks for electric vehicles. The partnership, formalised on 21st March by İ. Sinan Ak of Electrip Global Ltd and Christian Hahn of Hubject, will see the integration of around 4000 ZES stations in Turkey and electrip stations across several European countries, including Italy, France, Bulgaria, Greece, Croatia, Montenegro, and Poland, into Hubject’s extensive e-roaming network. This initiative is set to provide EV drivers with a streamlined and efficient charging experience throughout Europe, linking them with numerous e-mobility service providers.
Commenting on the collaboration, İ. Sinan Ak, CEO of Electrip Global Ltd, said: “We launched ZES in 2018 to support electric vehicle owners in Turkey with our intra and intercity charging stations, and recently introduced “electrip” in Europe to speed up the electric vehicle revolution. As state-of-the-art brands, we are glad to sign this valuable partnership with Hubject. This collaboration will help us to make electric vehicles more accessible and usable throughout Turkey and European countries. This is an essential part of our overall plan to reduce carbon emissions and protect our planet with our contribution to the expansion of e-mobility ecosystem.”
Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject, also expressed his enthusiasm: “We’re happy to welcome ZES and electrip into the inter-charge CPO network. This partnership will help them to strengthen their infrastructure in the countries where they operate. It means thousands of EV drivers will be able to easily find and use ZES and electrip charging stations and others that are part of Hubject’s e-roaming network, which in turn is a big step in the right direction of encouraging drivers to switch to electric.”
This partnership is poised to revolutionize the EV charging landscape, facilitating greater access and convenience for EV drivers across Europe.
