ZAPTEC

What ZAPTEC does

Zaptec Charger AS is a Norwegian designer, developer and manufacturer of intelligent EV charging systems, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Sandnes, Norway. The company sells AC chargers across home (Zaptec Go, Zaptec Go 2) and commercial/shared (Zaptec Pro) segments, plus a load-balancing accessory (Zaptec Sense), a cloud management platform (Zaptec Cloud, Zaptec Portal), a mobile app, and a public developer API. All hardware is designed and built in Norway with a 5-year guarantee and is engineered to integrate with home solar systems, OCPP 1.6J back-office networks, and ISO 15118 plug-and-charge (including V2G-readiness on Go 2). The commercial portfolio scales from a single charger to 1,000+ unit deployments and has been used by customers including Gardermoen Airport parking (244 chargers), Schindler AG (240+ chargers), British Gas, and Octopus Energy.

The company's core technical differentiator is patented phase and load balancing technology that dynamically distributes available power across multiple chargers, enabling up to 3x more vehicles to charge simultaneously without grid upgrades. Go 2 units carry Mercury certification, making the existing 50,000+ installed base eligible for grid flexibility services without hardware changes. Zaptec operates across 17 European markets, with Norway, Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, and Luxembourg confirmed as geographies served. Distribution is hybrid: direct e-commerce for consumers, a certified installer network via Zaptec Academy, regional distributors, and enterprise field sales for large commercial deployments.

Zaptec generates revenue primarily through hardware sales (one-time/perpetual license pricing on chargers and accessories) with recurring layers from Zaptec Cloud subscriptions and Flex Payments tied to grid flexibility participation. Marketing is anchored by content-led thought leadership (Zaptec Index across 17 European markets, "The Charge Ahead" newsletter) and a partner ecosystem (Club Zaptec loyalty programme, 40+ technology integrations with energy managers, charging networks and fleet operators). Strategic priorities evidenced in 2025–2026 include V2G commercialization (Octopus Power Pack, British Gas communal tariff), home solar integration across five new markets, and AFIR compliance by January 2027.
