Canonical page: https://elvo.io/partners (localized on all 17 locales; UK figures in GBP at https://elvo.io/uk/partners). Eyebrow: Charger management software, for installers and integrators Heading: Add Elvo to the chargers you install. Turn every station into monthly income. Your client pays a monthly subscription for the platform. Elvo bills him and pays you up to 25% of every invoice. You get the full platform, free: manage, troubleshoot and restart every station you install, remotely. ### How it works (three steps) Step 1: Install the stations. Any brand, any model. If it speaks OCPP, it works with Elvo. Step 2: Sell the platform. Your client subscribes to the platform. Step 3: Connect the stations. Connect them to Elvo and they go live. Every month, Elvo sends your client the invoice and pays you up to 25% of it. Already have stations in the field? Start at step 2. ### What you earn Your share of every invoice. You get 25% of every invoice in year 1. Then 15% in year 2 and 5% in year 3. Each station counts from the day it goes live. Every new station you install starts again at 25%. The platform subscription: EUR 6 per station per month for the base platform, EUR 12 to include online support (UK: GBP 5 / GBP 10). Example at 100 installed stations, year 1: up to EUR 150 per month on the base platform, up to EUR 300 per month with online support. The full platform, free: manage, troubleshoot and restart every station you install, remotely. ### How Elvo works with you The client stays yours. On-site work comes to you: every field visit goes to the installer who brought the client, Elvo works remotely. The station runs on its own: charging works directly on the hardware you installed. You stay their point of contact, Elvo stays in the background. Elvo pays you directly, every month. ### Who it is for Installers and integrators: companies and independent electricians who install EV charging stations. Any number of stations: one wallbox in a driveway or a full parking lot, every install counts. No minimum. ### Operator alternative Prefer to run the platform yourself and sell it to your clients at your own price? That is our operator track. ### Partner FAQ What do I do, exactly? Install the stations, sell the platform, connect the stations. Elvo sends your client the invoice every month and keeps the platform running. Is there a minimum? No. One station counts, for a company or a private client. How and when do I get paid? Every month, straight from Elvo. For every station you installed, you get 25% of the invoice in year 1, 15% in year 2, 5% in year 3, from the day it goes live. What happens with my client? They stay your client. On-site work comes to you, the station runs on its own, and we pay you directly. Who manages the platform and the support? Elvo keeps the platform running. Your client can add online support to the subscription. --- ## Certifications Eyebrow: Certifications Heading: Certified for secure and interoperable EV charging ELVO meets recognized industry standards for security and interoperability, so you can operate charging networks with confidence at any scale, from a single site to enterprise environments. Certified standards: - OCPP 1.6 security certified - OCPP 1.6 fully certified - ISO 27001 information security certified --- ## FAQ Eyebrow: FAQ Heading: Frequently asked questions Subtext: Quick answers to the questions we hear most from installers and operators. ### Getting started Q: We already have a CPMS. Why switch? A: Test us on one site. Parallel run, no setup fees, no commitment. Self-service trial for 30 days. If the remote-ops, reporting, and pricing don't beat what you have, don't switch. Most clients who do this decide within a week. Q: Don't stations come with software from the manufacturer? A: Manufacturer firmware speaks OCPP and runs basic diagnostics. That's it. No remote ops across multiple stations, no driver app, no billing, no multi-vendor view. Elvo sits on top: one platform, any brand, full operations. Q: Can we see a demo before signing up? A: Skip the demo. Start the 30-day trial, connect one station, see the real product with your data. If you still want a walkthrough after that, the team is one click away. Self-service first, sales second. Q: We only have a few stations. Is Elvo too much? A: Self-service is built to scale with you. EUR 3.99 per station per month, no minimum, cancel anytime. Start with one. Scale when you're ready. The platform doesn't change shape as you grow. ### Stations & infrastructure Q: Which stations do you support? A: 700+ models, any station speaking OCPP 1.6. Hardware-agnostic by design. If you know your station's brand, we'll verify compatibility in minutes. No integration calls, no custom adapters. Q: How do you keep 700+ station models working reliably? A: OCPP 1.6 is the foundation: open standard, no custom adapters per model. Our supported list covers 700+ station models. If yours isn't there, define the model yourself, then register your station the same way as any other. Two steps, fully self-service. Q: Can I add stations myself? A: Yes. From your account, start the add-station flow: pick the model, enter the station ID, copy the OCPP endpoint into the station. It appears live in seconds. Add one or a hundred; same flow, no integration calls. Q: Can I do load management across stations? A: Yes. Cloud-based load management: no extra hardware, no on-site controllers. Set a power cap for the site and Elvo redistributes capacity across active stations automatically. Add or remove stations on the fly. ### Pricing & operations Q: Is there a minimum contract? A: No. Standard runs month-to-month, cancel anytime. €3.99 per station per month, pay only for what's connected. 30-day free trial first, billed only if you stay. Q: Are there any hidden fees? A: No. €3.99 per station per month covers the entire platform: setup, updates, support, driver app, dashboards. The only transaction fee is 3% + €0.20 per paid charging session, listed openly in your pricing plan. Nothing surprise-billed. Q: What does "remote operations" actually mean? A: Fix up to 9 out of 10 issues without going to the station. Restart stations, update firmware, change access rules, reconfigure pricing, all from the dashboard. Fewer site visits, faster resolution, lower ops cost. Every screen is documented step by step in the user manual at manual.elvo.io. Q: How do drivers pay? Where does the money go? A: Drivers pay through the Elvo mobile app: scan, charge, pay. You receive the session revenue minus a 3% + €0.20 commission per session. ### Trust & growth Q: Is my data secure? Are you GDPR-compliant? A: Yes. OCPP 1.6 Security encrypts every station-to-platform exchange. Infrastructure follows ISO 27001 controls. Personal data is handled under GDPR: minimization by design, full right to access and erasure. Certifications listed in the section above. Q: What if I want to leave Elvo? Can I export my data? A: Your stations are yours. OCPP makes them portable to any other CPMS. Export sessions, transactions, drivers, and configurations as Excel (.xlsx) at any time. No exit fees, no data hostage. Switching out is as easy as switching in. Q: Can I switch to White-label later without redoing setup? A: Yes. White-label runs as a dedicated deployment, a new contract, but we handle the migration end-to-end. Your stations, sessions, and driver history move with you. Same operations, your own brand on top. Q: Can my team work in the same account? A: Yes. Invite unlimited teammates for free, assign roles, control access per person. Operations runs stations, finance reads reports, owners oversee everything. One account, many people. No shared logins. --- ## Embedded Q&A **Q:** What does a complete CPMS cost for a smaller EV charging installer? **A:** ELVO Standard is EUR 3.99 per station per month with everything included: OCPP-certified charging management, billing and invoicing, dynamic load management, driver app, multi-site management.

I couldn't stand them anymore." Verbatim (RO): "Statiile astea de incarcare mi-au scos peri albi din cap. Nu le mai suport." Attribution: Property manager of an office building in Romania, on managing chargers via Bluetooth + native vendor app before switching to ELVO. Post-ELVO: After ELVO: forgot the chargers existed because everything just worked. Source: Real customer scenario from owner interview, 2026-05-07. ### Real customer scenarios **Multi-vendor consolidation** Installer takes over a client with chargers from 3 different vendors and adds new chargers to expand. Without ELVO: separate apps, separate dashboards, separate RFID lists. With ELVO: single platform, OCPP 1.6 auto-discovery, unified RFID + billing across all stations. **RFID hell at office building** Property manager juggling Bluetooth + native app per charger, walking station-to-station to fix issues. With ELVO: one dashboard, central RFID issuing, remote troubleshooting from PC, no walking the parking lot. **Tender requirement** Installer cannot apply to EV infrastructure tender because the tender requires CPMS software in the proposal. Without ELVO: bid lost. With ELVO: complete proposal section with hardware + software stack, OCPP cert IDs, EPBD compliance. --- ## Final CTA Heading: Start managing your charging stations now Subtext: Get full access to the ELVO platform and see how it works with your own charging stations.
