Compleo strengthens partnership with Clever in Denmark

More than 2,000 new publicly accessible charging points in Denmark in 2021 | Close cooperation to promote e-mobility | Denmark is central hub for e-car travellers to Scandinavia or Central Europe

Dortmund, 28. July 2021 - Compleo, one of the leading providers of charging solutions, is further expanding its cooperation with the Danish charging infrastructure operator Clever. After already delivering 400 charging stations in the first half of the year, more than 500 charging stations, each with two charging points, have been ordered for the rest of the year. This impressive number not only underlines the close cooperation between the two companies, but also Denmark's efforts to promote e-mobility in its own country.

There are about 2.5 million vehicles on the road in Denmark, but electric and hybrid cars have been a rare sight so far. This is set to change significantly in the next few years, as the tax plan of the Danish parliament shows. By 2030, at least 775,000 electric and hybrid cars are to be on the roads, in addition there will be gradual tax relief for e-cars and charging power. Also from 2030, the sale of new cars with diesel and petrol engines is to be banned. Ambitious goals which also need the vital charging infrastructure to ensure peace of mind for all drivers of electric vehicles. Clever has been active as a pioneer of e-mobility in Denmark for more than a decade and is building a holistic charging universe, based on public charging infrastructure, intelligent home charging and charging solutions for companies and governmental institutions. Clever was the first company worldwide to introduce unlimited charging for a fixed monthly fee and connected Scandinavian cities across national borders with fast charging stations along the motorways. Compleo is also a first mover in e-mobility: for twelve years now, the company has been one of the leading manufacturers of charging stations, bringing charging points that comply with calibration regulations to all of Europe.

Checrallah Kachouh, Co-CEO and CTO at Compleo, knows the strength of the partnership in the northern neighbouring country: "We are very happy about the long-standing cooperation with our customer and leading charging solutions provider Clever, which has now existed since 2013. Through the cooperation with Clever, we contribute to a significant share of the Danish charging infrastructure. Large order volumes are also a reflection of the market growth in Denmark as well as across Europe - a promising sign for the future." Clever provides almost 60 percent of the charging infrastructure in Denmark. Again, 40 percent of this share is supplied by Compleo.

Casper Kirketerp-Møller, CEO of Clever, is also pleased about the close cooperation: "For us in Clever, trustful and proactive partnerships is of absolute importance. In Compleo, we've found a reliable partner to build long-term, intuitive and user-centered solutions that we integrate on a daily basis in our seamless Clever universe. Therefore, we are happy to further expand our strategic partnership. An innovative charging infrastructure is essential to drive the e-mobility transition in Denmark onward. Together with Compleo, we will keep building world-class charging infrastructure for all electric vehicles drivers in the years to come."
