The DC fast-charging manufacturer Kempower has delivered 26 million EV charging sessions worldwide, it has announced.

This figure comes seven years after the company was founded in Finland, and was confirmed by data collected using Kempower’s cloud-based Charging Point Management System ChargEye.

Since 2018, it has delivered approximately 1 billion kWh of power to EVs, which is around 260 million litres of fuel usage avoided.

The data shows a steady but significant rise in charger usage over recent years. Kempower predicts it will surpass 50 million charging sessions in 2026.

The ChargEye system is primarily deployed to support individual charging operators and fleet managers to remotely monitor, control and analyze their charging operations to maximize efficiency and reduce downtime.

These insights, in combination with elements of the hardware’s technical design – such as built-in redundancy – have contributed to an overall uptime of higher than 99% across Kempower’s global infrastructure network.

Kempower has expanded beyond Finland and into 65 countries across all continents, operating more than 6,000 charging sites.

Mikko Veikkolainen, VP, Research & Innovation at Kempower, said:

“Our 26-millionth charging session is not only a proud milestone for Kempower, but a sign that more people and businesses around the world are choosing EVs and making charging part of their everyday lives.

“We’ve been in the EV charging space for many years now and it’s clear that electrification has gained promising momentum in this time. We are wholeheartedly committed to enabling this to continue by establishing the infrastructure and software that’s needed for more of the world to transition.

“Each and every charging session we deliver is another step towards what we ultimately set out to achieve when Kempower was founded: a cleaner, more sustainable future for mobility powered by a reliable fast-charging network. We look forward to delivering the next 25 million charging sessions for EV drivers worldwide.”
