CTEK lights the Fuuse on integrated EV charging
24 January 2022 
With away-from-home EV charging seemingly on the rise, CTEK is looking to help businesses generate revenue from their EV chargers more easily by integrating the CTEK Chargestorm Connected 2 (CC2) EV charger with Fuuse Billing payment management software.
A recent CTEK/YouGov survey of 1,667 UK EV drivers suggested although that 68% of UK EV drivers still prefer to charge at home, 37% are now using public or destination chargers, 12% are charging at work and 9% at petrol stations. Previous estimates estimated that up to 90% of EV charging was taking place at home.
Fuuse Billing is a payment card industry (PCI) compliant system. Fuuse also provides a charge point management system through which CTEK customers can manage their EV network remotely through a desktop or mobile app. Both CTEK and Fuuse products and solutions are open charge point protocol compliant (OCCP), so they work with hardware and software from other manufacturers.
Cecilia Routledge, CTEK Global Director, Energy and Facilities said: “We are delighted to be making the Fuuse platform available to CTEK customers. Fuuse and CTEK are both committed to providing customers with maximum flexibility through OCPP, and this new option to provide CTEK chargers with Fuuse Billing incorporated adds an important new dimension to our customer offering. This is especially so because, with the gradual shift towards destination and public charging, we expect more local authorities, hoteliers, retailers, employers, fleet managers and other charge point operators to be looking for an EV charging solution that not only meets driver demand, but also provides opportunities for revenue generation. The CTEK/Fuuse solution allows them to do just that.”
Fuuse Managing Director Michael Gibson added: “It’s great to be working with CTEK in enabling their customers to generate revenue from their chargers. The EV rollout is certainly accelerating, and we want to make it as easy as possible for charge point owners and operators to reap the benefits and opportunities that the EV revolution presents.”
