Discover how EVTech, a Middle East EMSP, grew its business using Tridens EV Charge's dynamic pricing, load balancing, and boost features.
Company:
EVTech

Background

EVTech operates a growing network of EV charging stations in the Middle East, with plans to expand charging capabilities. Dedicated to promoting e-mobility, it serves commercial clients, fleet operators, and residential customers, delivering sustainable and scalable charging solutions in the region.

Challenge

EVTech faced issues due to the complex tariff system, which disrupted revenue stability. Limited monetization options slowed new customer acquisition. They aimed to stabilize income with dynamic tariffs, reduce charger downtime via load balancing, boost retention with driver-focused features, and lower transaction costs to optimize its financial model.

Solution

Tridens empowered EVTech to monetize multiple revenue streams with an OCPP hardware-agnostic platform. The goal was a transition from a rigid pricing model to a dynamic one, implementing a real-time tariff system aligned with the region’s complex electricity structure. Our platform streamlined their billing, improved infrastructure efficiency through intelligent load balancing, and enhanced customer experience via targeted app features.

Benefits

EVTech reduced revenue volatility by 80% with dynamic pricing and cut charger downtime by 30%. A 70% business growth was achieved, with a 25% boost in customer retention via boost features and a 40% infrastructure expansion. Significant savings on charging costs further strengthened its leadership in the Middle East’s EV charging sector.

Implementing Dynamic Pricing and Tariffs

EVTech faced challenges with its rigid pricing model, which did not align with the region’s complex tariff structure, including time-of-use and seasonal variations. High non-payment rates in a price-sensitive market led to revenue leakage. Manual billing and reminders consumed resources, while limited digital payment adoption complicated postpaid billing, reducing trust.

EVTech implemented a dynamic pricing model using Tridens EV Charge. This enabled real-time pricing adjustments based on factors such as time of day, local holidays, and seasonal changes, aligning tariffs with regional grid demand. Customers gained the ability to pay upfront via an app or web portal, enhancing transparency and ease of use. Automated billing streamlined operations, significantly reducing administrative overhead.

This approach stabilized revenue, reducing volatility by 80% within six months. Administrative costs dropped by 25% due to automation. Customer retention improved by 20%. Residential customers saved up to 80% by scheduling off-peak charging. Apartment complexes recovered electricity costs with differential pricing, while public charging sites attracted new users with promotional pricing, and fleet operators benefited from automated, VAT-compliant invoicing.

Optimizing Charger Usage with Load Balancing

EVTech faced operational issues with grid overloads and frequent charger downtime, particularly in busy urban environments. High operational costs due to manual monitoring further limited expansion.

EVTech deployed Tridens’ dynamic load balancing system, which intelligently distributed power across charging stations in real-time, using analytics to monitor and manage grid capacity. This solution enabled multiple chargers on a single line without costly upgrades, benefiting commercial and residential sites.

This reduced charger downtime by 30% and lowered operational costs by 20%, freeing resources for further expansion. EVTech increased its charging infrastructure by 40% without electrical upgrades. For example, a business complex installed twelve chargers on one line, achieving substantial savings. Residential buildings expanded charger capacity, and fleet depots prioritized essential vehicles, improving operational readiness.

Attracting Customers with Boost Features

Tridens EV Charge for EMSPs provided the essential tools for EVTech to stand out and grow its presence in a competitive market, where it recognized that infrastructure alone was insufficient to attract customers.

The platform empowered EVTech to enhance the user experience through targeted app-based features and promotions. Through the app, users could reserve chargers in advance, which reduced wait times and improved overall charger utilization. Real-time battery notifications also encouraged drivers to vacate charging bays promptly. Simplified payments via stored cards and digital wallets streamlined transactions, creating a frictionless process. To further boost acquisition and visibility, EVTech rapidly deployed “First Boost Free” vouchers and “Fleet Advantage” discounts and integrated its network with third-party charging maps to reach a wider audience of EV drivers.

These initiatives increased customer acquisition by 25% and repeat usage by 25%. App adoption rose significantly, boosting visibility and accessibility. Combined strategies improved customer satisfaction, reduced churn, and allowed EVTech to compete effectively, contributing to its 70% business growth.
