Nominations for the inaugural Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards (EVIEs) are now open, and Current± is profiling each of this year’s categories.
Amongst the categories this year is the Chargepoint Network of the Year award, designed to recognise the very companies responsible for making sure the country’s EV adopters can charge on the go.
This year has been stand-out for EV charging network operators, with a number of significant milestones reached, cutting-edge technologies deployed and new entrants entering the scene. As a result, we expect the 2019 Chargepoint Network of the Year to be amongst the most competitive.
Who should enter?
We’re looking to hear specifically from chargepoint network operators of all sizes and scales. Those wishing to enter should own and/or operate EV charging infrastructure, rather than be a contractor or service provider to the industry.
This award is also not locked to any geography, meaning that network operators from across the world are free to enter and will be judged equally. Our judging line-up will be looking specifically at the size and scale of network, customer satisfaction, technologies deployed and evidence of any innovative approaches.
How to enter?
Entering the EVIEs could not be simpler. Our nominations is entirely online and entrants can submit into as many categories as they wish to from the same profile.
