Clever case

Meet the roaming manager

Mathias Sukstorf
Roaming & Partnerships 

“A modern player in the e-mobility sphere cannot succeed alone. You need to partner with the best players in the value chain and focus on your core competencies, or you risk becoming defocused and obsolete. “

“At Clever, we’ve chosen to collaborate with strong Danish and European charge point network operators through OCPI roaming agreements. Our system provider, Bloom Charge, enables hassle-free technical onboarding of new agreements in just hours, offering us full flexibility in terms of pricing structure and commercial terms.” 

“This allows us to create products tailored to different customer segments, enhancing both customer satisfaction and profitability.”

Meet operations

Markus Jes Hansen
Network operations Ultra-Fast Charging 

“Clever’s network has expanded rapidly over the past few years, with more than 150,000 charge points, including 1,100 DC charge points from vendors like Alpitronic and ABB.” 

“To manage a network of this size, Bloom Charge has developed a set of tools that help us update, monitor, and analyze the network’s status. Work processes have become more efficient with the help of alert monitoring and incident management.” 

“Chargers self-heal by, for example, rebooting during nights and weekends when different communication patterns are detected. If the charger cannot self-heal, instructions are automatically sent to our electrical installer.”

“Thanks to the Bloom Charge system, my colleague and I are able to collaboratively manage the DC network and consistently maintain a benchmark customer-perceived uptime of 99.3%.”

Meet the ancillary services manager

Jeppe Arnsdorf Pedersen
Grid stabilization and V2X 

“With the size of our aggregated network of home and public chargers, we have a significant impact on the electrical system, both locally and nationwide. There are times throughout the day when we account for approximately 4% of Denmark’s electricity consumption.” 

“By treating cars as large batteries on four wheels, we’ve been able to assist with grid stabilization and monetize these services. We are active in the fast ancillary service markets, including FCR and FCR(D), as well as the more energy-intensive markets, such as AFRR and day-ahead.” 

“Strict reaction times and reliable connectivity are essential to entering these markets. With Bloom Charge, we can treat thousands of charge points as one large ‘battery’ asset. V2X will accelerate these possibilities, and we are working with Bloom Charge to be at the forefront of this exciting field.”
