To support the global expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging networks and prepare for an anticipated 1.5 billion charging sessions by 2026, EV Connect, a leading EV charging platform, has announced a strategic partnership with BlueSnap, a global leader in payment orchestration. This collaboration introduces an advanced payment processing solution, giving charge point operators (CPOs) and charging network operators access to premium payment services, transaction underwriting, and exclusive benefits. The BlueSnap integration is available through EV Connect’s white-label solution or API platform, accommodating charging operations of all sizes.
With BlueSnap’s integration, network operators using the EV Connect platform will benefit from a streamlined onboarding and implementation process, enabling rapid deployment and faster revenue collection. EV Connect customers also enjoy preferred pricing models with reduced processing fees, personalized concierge service, and support throughout implementation at no additional cost.
Henry Helgeson, CEO of BlueSnap, commented, “Our partnership with EV Connect sets a new standard for the charging industry by making premium payment processing simple and accessible. This collaboration goes beyond transactions—it’s about empowering businesses of all sizes with the tools to compete globally and unlock their full revenue potential. We’re not just facilitating payments; we’re driving innovation and economic progress across diverse markets. Together, we are reshaping the intersection of EV infrastructure and financial technology.”
In addition to advanced technical support and customizable payment solutions, the partnership offers API-level integration into existing business systems. This reduces operational complexity and introduces advanced features like real-time fraud detection and multi-currency processing. EVBOLT, an electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) manufacturer, is already leveraging these enhanced capabilities to deliver powerful, scalable turnkey EV charging solutions to various businesses.
Ali Haider, Strategic Business Development at EVBOLT, said, “This collaboration between EV Connect and BlueSnap significantly reduces the hurdles involved in setting up charging sites, making the process much more efficient. The reduced fees, advanced features of the EV Connect platform, and the combined support of these two platforms have greatly enhanced our operations and improved the experience for our EV driver customers.”
EV Connect provides charging networks with a comprehensive suite of tools to manage the entire financial life cycle of EV charging. From establishing pricing strategies to streamlining billing, facilitating seamless payments, and managing revenue sharing, the EV Connect platform empowers charging networks to optimize financial performance and drive growth in the evolving EV charging landscape.
Bassem Ammouri, Chief Operating Officer at EV Connect, added, “The premium features offered by EV Connect and BlueSnap were once exclusive to high-volume charging businesses, but this partnership allows our customers to take advantage of preferred pricing and dedicated account management. Our goal is to expand the availability of EV charging worldwide by removing barriers to entry. For large networks, this means powerful integration and deep support; for smaller networks, it means accelerating revenue collection. Ultimately, this partnership empowers businesses of all sizes to focus on core operations and growth, which is crucial for the EV space.”
