Zoniq is expanding its services through specialist partnerships, helping CPOs turn ideas into action with the tools, expertise, and capacity they need.

EVIQ has successfully established itself as the leading electric vehicle charging provider in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. To encourage people to switch to EVs, they initially offered free charging, which helped their 60 operational locations achieve a solid 4.1 % median utilization rate.

Imagine building a brand-new EV charging station to relieve long wait times, only to watch drivers continue queuing up at the older station down the road. That’s exactly what Hydro-Québec faced during the busy 2024/2025 winter. Older chargers absorbed almost all the traffic. On paper, it looked like the network was failing, even though new capacity had just been added.

From Statkraft’s Mer merging with Eviny Fast Charging in the Nordics, to Powerdot acquiring InstaVolt’s network in Spain and Portugal and volenergy AG taking over bp's locations in Austria, M&A activity across Europe is picking up pace.The underlying driver is simple: public charge point utilisation has stayed largely flat. Infrastructure rollouts have matched EV sales step-for-step, leaving operators with capacity that needs to be commercialised rather than continuously expanded.

Welcome back to the second issue of The Zoniq Brief, a regular digest of insights, case studies, and perspectives from the teams designing, financing, and operating EV charging networks.
