Siemens Smart Infrastructure and E.ON Drive Infrastructure have signed a global framework agreement to expand and strengthen E.ON’s public electric vehicle (EV) charging network across Europe.

The collaboration aims to accelerate the rollout of smart, high-power charging systems to meet the growing demand in several key markets, including Germany, Italy, Sweden, and the UK.

Siemens will provide E.ON with its SICHARGE D high-power charging systems, which allow up to four charge points to connect to a single grid connection.

These chargers are designed for flexibility and meet regional compliance, including the German calibration law (Eichrecht).

A unique feature of this agreement also includes access to Siemens’ web-based backend service, Sifinity Control. This platform gives E.ON the ability to monitor and manage its entire charging network, maximising reliability and uptime for users.

Additionally, IoT-enabled substations will help manage energy supply efficiently across charging stations.

Siemens will offer a variety of service packages throughout the lifetime of the charging infrastructure. This support ensures that E.ON’s charging network operates smoothly and efficiently, providing a reliable experience for EV drivers.

Arjan Van Der Eijk, Chief Operating Officer at E.ON Drive Infrastructure said:

With Siemens, we have another strong provider on board that supports us with its solutions for the expansion of our public charging network in Europe, serving a wide range of current and future use cases. The combination of reliable hardware and tailor-made services ensures a stable network and an optimised charging experience.

This agreement aligns with E.ON’s goal of launching at least 1,000 new public high-power charging points per year. It also includes the development of additional technologies like truck and megawatt charging, preparing for future demand in electric road transport.
