Driivz, a global software supplier to EV charging operators and service providers, is working with Duracell to power and scale its E-Charge ultra-fast EV charging network across the UK.

The Duracell E-Charge network will utilise various capabilities within Driivz’s smart EV charging software platform, from EV charging operations management, to reporting and analytics, to billing management. For the former, this includes full optimisation of all EV charging operations, including charger monitoring and proactive and remote issue resolution with advanced algorithms for self-healing capabilities, maximise network uptime and utilisation.

The platform aims to remove common points of friction for charge point operators by providing robust session data, accurate billing, and transparent settlements. Duracell will also utilise Driivz’s roaming capabilities to increase network utilisation rates and drive revenue.

“Duracell E-Charge is being built to set a new benchmark for ultra-fast charging in the UK. That means high uptime, simple pricing and a consistently reliable experience for drivers,” said Mark Bloxham, managing director of Duracell E-Charge. “Driivz gives us the platform to scale quickly while maintaining control, performance and commercial efficiency as the network grows.”

Shiri Levi-Laor, CEO of Driivz, said the company was ‘proud to support the rollout of the Duracell E-Charge network across the UK.’ “Charging networks that can scale, while optimising their current operations to ensure seamless charging experiences for drivers now and in the years to come, are the networks that will lead the way in the future of mobility,” said Levi-Laor.

Duracell launched its entry into the EV charging network market in October, with more than £200 million in planned investment over the coming decade. The charging hubs are being funded by The EV Network, with ‘rapid expansion’ being promised in 2026 and beyond.
