The Company
EV-Box was founded in the Netherlands in 2010. At the time, the market for electric vehicles (EVs) was still in its infancy. In the last five years, EV-Box has grown to become an international market leader, with over 40.000 charging stations across the globe. The concept was clear: a charging station with fully modular construction, ready to facilitate the explosion of the EV market, while simultaneously providing uncompromising quality and durability.

The iconic LED ring has become a symbol for charging in public spaces, an unmistakable and welcome feature of many city streets.

Charging Stations
EV-Box charging stations are compatible with every type of electric vehicle. They are integrated with an advanced online management system, and ensure an easy and efficient use of the charging station by its owners and respective electric vehicle drivers. EV-Box offers three type of charging stations:

All EV-Box's charging stations are equipped with Smart Charging. Smart Charging is an umbrella term that defines all intelligent functionalities and protocols in EV-Box’s charging stations that optimize the charging infrastructure by creating and distributing the available power in an efficient and flexible manner.
