Early adopters, including Moeve, VINCI, Geneva Airport, and SDEM50, have already been using Kawat ahead of its official launch. It is important to note that Kawat combines a Charge Point Management System (CPMS) with e-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP) solutions. This positions Zunder to compete with platforms such as Ampeco or Spirii — and the company has explicitly set its sights on the DACH market, comprising Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.The cloud-based platform enables operators and infrastructure owners to manage charging networks from various hardware manufacturers through a centralised environment, optimising operational performance, scalability, and customer experience. Zunder claims that Kawat facilitates rapid commissioning, centralised remote management, and scalable operation of charging infrastructure while reducing maintenance efforts. Kawat also integrates charge point management functions with e-mobility services, such as real-time monitoring, smart charging, automated billing, roaming integration, payment processing, fleet management, and 24/7 customer support.Daniel Pérez, CEO of Zunder explains that the European charging infrastructure market is entering a new phase in which operational management is becoming increasingly complex. He says interoperability, availability, user-friendliness, and the scaling of growing charging networks require far more than just the installation of hardware. “Kawat was developed to address these operational challenges based on real-world experience in managing large-scale charging infrastructure,” he says, adding that Zunder’s goal is to support operators, businesses, and public institutions in managing charging infrastructure “efficiently and future-proofly, preparing them for the next growth phase of the EV market in Europe”.Zunder says it has already tested Kawat in real-world operations within large charging networks. The software currently handles thousands of charging sessions daily, manages over 4,000 third-party charge points, and serves more than 500,000 users across six countries, the company explains.Zunder was founded in 2017 in Palencia, northern Spain. Its original mission was to advance electric mobility by establishing a reliable and user-friendly charging network in regions often overlooked by larger providers. In 2022, the company received a capital injection of 100 million euros from French sustainability investor Mirova, with the aim of becoming a leading fast-charging provider in Southern Europe. At the end of 2024, Zunder opened its largest fast-charging hub to date in Oviedo, northern Spain, featuring 36 HPC connectors.Source: via email, kawat.io
