Etecnic Revolutionizes EV Charging with SMART PRICING for Increased Accessibility and User Engagement

Juan Thompson, representing Etecnic, discusses the company's efforts to enhance accessibility and convenience in EV charging through innovative solutions. As Spain's third-largest Charge Point Operator (CPO) with over 12,000 chargers, Etecnic focuses on consultancy services and software development rather than merely selling hardware like solar panels or chargers. Their white-labeling software aids in managing EV infrastructure efficiently. A significant challenge they address is pricing strategy for user accessibility; hence they employ SMART PRICING to encourage consistent usage patterns by flattening demand peaks typically seen at specific times of day or week. SMART PRICING involves dynamic tariffs based on real-time data such as electricity costs and battery status from connected grids and storage systems. This approach includes sending push notifications about discounts during low-demand periods—like "happy hours" offering free or heavily discounted energy—to attract users dynamically without manual intervention. Etecnic aims for high utilization rates across hubs while ensuring transparency and positive user experiences through these strategies. They are expanding their successful methodologies beyond Spain into broader European markets including Portugal, France, and Germany.
