For the processing of personal data in these cases, we need to obtain your consent. There are also occasions when we are required by law to collect and process this type of sensitive personal data.

5. Information when data is collected

When personal data is submitted to us, the person who submits their personal data is informed of: Which Charge Node Europé AB company is responsible for processing the personal data, For what purpose and on what legal basis the personal data is collected, Contact details for the data controller and data protection officer and what rights you have as a customer How long the data is stored. If you find the information unclear or incomplete, please contact Charge Node Europé AB for complete information.

6. Purposes and legal basis for processing

We only collect personal data for purposes that are supported by the applicable data protection regulation. The most common is that the data is collected for processing on the legal basis of performance of contract. The purposes are, for example, for marketing and profiling, i.e. to communicate relevant offers to our customers.

– for the sale of our and our partners’ offerings.
– to send newsletters.
– to develop and improve our products and services.
– for statistics and analysis.

We also process personal data if this is necessary to fulfil our or third parties’ legitimate interest in analysing user data from our services in order to further develop and improve our/third parties’ services.

Other purposes for our processing of personal data may have their legal basis in various legal requirements, i.e. where we must fulfill a legal obligation, examples of such purposes are the processing of personal data under the Accounting Act for invoicing or when we convey information about changed contract terms. You can also give consent to processing in certain cases where none of the above applies. A given consent is an active action from you and this can be revoked. We will then not process your personal data further for that purpose.

7. Disclosure of personal data

As Charge Node Europé AB has subsidiaries with group-wide functions, your personal data may be disclosed to other companies within the group. Such companies may also process your data for the purpose of providing offers and marketing regarding products and services that may interest you.

Under certain circumstances, we may also transfer personal data to data processors, partners or other third parties. For example, user data in the form of the vehicle registration number may be shared with individual parking companies when charging takes place in charging outlets/systems at the Customer in order to further develop and improve the Customer’s services.

In the event of disclosure, Charge Node Europé AB will take into account the specific laws and other provisions governing unbundling between electricity trading companies and electricity network companies (so-called “unbundling rules. In certain cases, we may be obliged to disclose personal data to, for example, the police, for crime prevention measures and criminal investigations, as required by law and official decisions.

Personal data is not normally disclosed to companies in countries outside the EU or EEA. In certain situations, however, the data may be transferred to, and processed in, a country outside the EU/EEA by a company within the Charge Node Europé AB Group or by another supplier or subcontractor. In these cases, a special investigation is always made to ensure that there are safeguards, such as data transfer agreements, in place so that the recipients process the data at a comparable level to the protection offered within the EU/EEA.

8. Access to personal data

Only those who need access to the personal data to perform the agreed service are authorized to access and handle them. We have several subcontractors who handle personal data to varying degrees and they have the same requirements for handling as Charge Node Europé AB has internally.

9. Gallring

We do not keep personal data longer than necessary. Once the contract has ended and you are no longer our customer, we keep your data for 36 months. The same applies to contact details of our business customers. However, some data may need to be kept for longer to comply with other legal requirements, such as the Accounting Act where we need to keep data for 7 years. There are also reasons to save the data for a longer period if there is an ongoing investigation or a dispute, even if the customer relationship has already ended, or in cases where you have purchased a product from us where we need to save the data to be able to fulfill our warranty commitment.

10. Security

We take specific physical, technical and organizational measures to protect the personal data processed against loss, destruction, manipulation or access by unauthorized persons. These measures are designed to ensure a level of security appropriate to the technical possibilities available. Changes to personal data are continuously recorded to ensure traceability of any changes that occur to the information. Personal data incidents are reported internally and by our subcontractors. These are handled in an internal process and, in relevant cases (if there is a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the individual), are reported to the Swedish Data Protection Authority within 72 hours and to the person who has lost their information in accordance with the rules laid down in the Data Protection Act. Data breaches are also reported to the police.

Automatic restart

Restart the charge points automatically in case of power failure (Hardware dependent)

Priority of purchase

Prioritize individual outlets for e.g. mission-critical operations such as pool cars, service cars to ensure that the cars are always prioritized for charging so that operations do not stop. When priority outlets are not active, available power is distributed to other outlets to constantly maximize the charging capacity of the entire system

Optimize your charging facility with smart power scheme

A dynamic power schedule gives you full control over the maximum power of your plant – adapted to the daily load and grid cost. The graph above shows how the schedule (green line) controls available power depending on time, while actual power use (black line) is safely within these limits.

Advantages of the power scheme:

  • Reduce power peaks and lower power subscription costs
  • Avoid plant and transformer overloads
  • Smartly control charging at peak pressure – without compromising user experience
  • Adapt to network contracts and tariff zones (e.g. peak and off-peak hours)

The result: lower costs, more stable operation and more sustainable use of the electricity grid – perfect for homes, businesses and depot charging.

Smarter charging with departure time and peak shaving

Charging all vehicles at full power at the same time is neither energy efficient nor economically sustainable. By instead prioritizing charging based on the vehicle’s departure time, we can use the available power in a smarter way – without leaving anyone with an empty battery.

Advantages of departure time controlled charging:

  • The right energy to the right car at the right time: first movers get priority for available power
  • Lower power costs: Smoother loads mean lower power peaks and grid charges
  • Less need for grid reinforcement: power can be distributed evenly throughout the day
  • Peace of mind for the user: you are guaranteed to have enough charge until you leave – no sooner than necessary
  • Sustainable use of resources: Ideal for many simultaneous chargers on limited capacity


This type of dynamic control is particularly suitable for residential, commercial and depot charging – where vehicles are parked for a long time but do not need to be charged immediately.

Load balancing

Our backend load balances all OCPP compliant hardware to protect the property’s main fuse against overload and at the same time maximize the total power available for EV charging. We can load balance statically against a fixed power budget or dynamically, which means that the power budget for charging in real time relates to the property’s power consumption. We support both DLM (Dynamic load management) and ALM (Adaptive Load Management) standards.

Proactive operational monitoring

With our intuitive alarm management module, you can keep track of the operational status of your charging infrastructure. It analyzes fault codes, automatically classifies alarms and suggests actions – so you can act quickly and efficiently.

  • Prioritize alarms by impact and need for action
  • Proposed actions directly in the interface
  • Filter, customize and automate alarm management
  • Reduce unnecessary downtime and service calls


Smarter service starts with the right insights – at the right time.

Real-time monitoring of OCPP traffic

In addition, you monitor the charging points’ session data, see limits for e.g. uptime, automatically generate alarms and suggest action.

Easy and secure integration with our OCPI-API

Our backend is integrated with an OCPI-compliant API that enables standardized and secure communication with other e-mobility systems and actors. This makes it easy to exchange data with external platforms – without exposing our entire infrastructure.

Advantages of our OCPI-API:

  • Interoperability: Communicate with other operators, eMSPs and roaming platforms via established standards
  • Access to key features: Get information on charge points, availability, pricing, sessions and transactions
  • Secure and controlled access: Only authorized functions exposed – no interference with sensitive business logic
  • Future-proof: we follow the development of OCPI and adapt our support to industry needs


Our API is the obvious interface to create seamless charging across network boundaries – without compromising control or data security.

Automatic payment with self-billing

ChargeNode handles the payment with the charging customer and reimburses the facility owner via a self-invoice, completely without administration. All you need to do is post the invoice.

Lorem ipsum

We have worked with almost all types of hardware and most brands of charging stations for many years. We have a deep understanding of how they work in operation and this is knowledge that we bring to every meeting and every decision. We have also developed our own hardware which, to put it mildly, is probably the best on the market.
