What Awesems does

Awesems is a Dutch eMobility and energy solutions provider headquartered in Arnhem, Netherlands, founded in October 2019 by René van de Kracht and Cliff Gang. The company delivers an integrated stack for businesses, chain partners, and (semi-)government organizations that includes proprietary and third-party EV charging hardware (the in-house Promax and Peblar Business AC chargers, plus Hypercharger, Autel MaxiCharger, and HUAWEI DC fast chargers), stationary battery storage (Awesems Energy Hub up to 1.9 MWh, HUAWEI LUNA2000-215, Growatt home batteries), and a proprietary software platform built around an Energy Management System (EMS), a Charging Point Management System (CPMS), the Mijn Awesems customer portal, a Power BI reporting layer, and a 24/7 Network Operating Center (NOC). All assets communicate via the OCPP protocol, enabling smart load balancing, dynamic energy procurement, and integrated grid, solar, storage, and charger orchestration.

The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model with dedicated account managers and project managers handling site surveys, tailored proposals, and end-to-end installation oversight, supported by inside sales, a self-serve enterprise portal (Mijn Awesems), and a home-charging reimbursement portal (Thuisladen). Revenue is generated from a mix of one-time hardware sales, recurring software and monitoring subscriptions, energy supply margin through its wholly-owned subsidiary Awesems Energie (a licensed Dutch energy supplier offering dynamic-tariff contracts), professional services (energy scans, simulations, strategic advisory, installation, maintenance), managed-services contracts with SLA-backed uptime, and a transaction fee on HBE renewable fuel certificate facilitation via the Dutch RVO. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contracts typical for enterprise deployments.

Revenue model

1. EV Charging Hardware Sales: Sale of proprietary and third-party charging hardware including AC chargers (Promax, Peblar Business), DC fast chargers (Hypercharger HYC, Autel MaxiCharger, Huawei DC), and mobile AC/DC chargers. Chargers are sold as one-time products, with hardware specifications varying by power rating (3.7–400 kW).
2. Software Subscriptions and CPMS Services: Ongoing software services including the Charging Point Management System (CPMS), the customer portal (Mijn Awesems), Power BI reporting dashboards, and remote monitoring via the NOC. Chargers are SIM-lock free, allowing flexibility. Revenue is recurring through backoffice and monitoring subscriptions.
3. Energy Storage Systems (Battery Sales): Sale and deployment of Energy Hub battery systems (up to 1.9 MWh) and HUAWEI LUNA2000-215 industrial batteries. Stationary batteries are sold as hardware with bundled software management via EMS.
4. Awesems Energie (Energy Supply): Full-fledged energy supplier with all licenses and membership in Energie-Nederland. Provides dynamic energy contracts that move with real-time market prices. Offers businesses energy supply directly, enabling customers to save 10–15% on electricity procurement costs. Combines with Energy Hub and EMS for optimized energy purchasing.
5. Professional Services (Advisory, Installation, Maintenance): From insight to execution: energy scanning, strategic advice, advanced simulations for growth and investment, project management, installation by specialized installers, and ongoing support. Service includes on-site engineering for infrastructure upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
6. HBE (Renewable Fuel Certificate) Facilitation: Awesems facilitates customers in applying for and trading Hernieuwbare Brandstofeenheden (HBE) certificates through the Dutch RVO. HBE certificates are marketable on the Dutch market, providing additional revenue streams for customers with charge plazas (approx. €10–20 per HBE, with 1 HBE = 1 GJ). Awesems earns a service fee for reporting and facilitation.
7. Charge Plaza Operations and Management: Full service provider model: Awesems supplies, installs, and maintains charging infrastructure. Revenue is generated through managed services contracts with SLA-backed uptime guarantees for business-critical charging operations.

Direct peers

• EVBox: Amsterdam-based EV charging hardware manufacturer and software platform (CPMS, OCPP back-office, services). Closest direct competitor to Awesems: Dutch-headquartered, B2B/enterprise focus, own charging hardware plus recurring software subscriptions, sold across Europe and globally.
• Wallbox: Smart EV charging hardware manufacturer with bidirectional charging and energy management software. Direct comparable on the smart-charger hardware plus EMS/Power Boost stack, though Wallbox is much larger and globally distributed.
• Last Mile Solutions: Netherlands-based EV charging platform providing CPMS, roaming, billing, and energy management software to charging point operators across Europe. Direct peer on the software/back-office side of Awesems's charging-and-energy offering.
• Alfen: Dutch manufacturer of EV charging stations, energy storage systems, and smart grid/transformer products. Directly comparable to Awesems's vertically integrated hardware + energy storage + software positioning for the Dutch and European B2B market.

Broad incumbents

• ChargePoint: Global leader in EV charging hardware and the ChargePoint network/CPMS software platform serving enterprise, fleet, and retail customers. Operates far broader scope than Awesems, but directly comparable on the CPMS + charging-services business model.
• Vattenfall InCharge: Utility-owned EV charging solutions business offering installation, operation, and energy services for B2B customers in Northern Europe. Overlaps with Awesems on integrated energy + charging and on the importance of grid-side flexibility services.
• Shell Recharge Solutions: Shell's global EV charging solutions arm (formerly NewMotion), providing charging hardware, software, and energy services for businesses and fleets across Europe. Broad incumbent comparable on end-to-end charging services for enterprise customers.
• Allego: European public-charging network operator delivering charging hubs, ultrafast sites, and managed services across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, and the UK. Broad incumbent peer: overlapping buyer set (business, semi-government) but focus is on public-network deployment rather than Awesems's site-level B2B energy stack.

Emerging players

• Jedlix: Dutch smart-charging optimization platform that aligns EV charging with renewable generation and dynamic prices. Comparable to the optimization layer of Awesems's EMS, with stronger V2G / flexibility-market play but no hardware or full-stack services.
• Hubject: Berlin-based eRoaming platform connecting EV charging networks via OCPP/OCPI. Comparable as an enabling player in the OCPP-based charging ecosystem that Awesems's CPMS integrates with, though Hubject does not compete head-on in Awesems's full-stack niche.
