Streamline EV Charge Point Connectivity

As more and more people turn to electric vehicles, the demand for reliable charging stations is increasing rapidly. This step-by-step guide for EV Charge Point Operators (CPOs) explains why connecting stations with Telenor IoT offers many advantages over local data and/or multi IMSI SIM cards.

As the popularity of electric vehicles continues to rise, the need for reliable charging stations becomes increasingly critical. Telenor’s Managed IoT connectivity solution offers several benefits over using local data SIM cards for EV CPOs.

One Global SIM card (plastic and eSIM) provides connectivity in 200+ countries and it is based on one single contract and one invoice. With multiple roaming partners in each country our solution optimizes coverage and provides redundancy to ensure that EV charging stations stay online and connected.
