Edison has set an ambitious target to capture 8% of the market share for electricity used in EV recharging, along with the installation of over 100,000 charging points, which will include smart charging solutions and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technologies.

“We are excited to partner with Landis+Gyr as their product provides us with a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving e-Mobility sector,” said Davide Dotti, Business Innovation Director at Edison. “Their OCEAN software allows us to effectively manage a wide array of services for both residential and commercial customers, ensuring that we are ready to adapt to the evolving market needs.”
