Bringing the charging station to the car
UZE is an Antwerp-based start-up that has developed a mobile fast-charging service for electric vehicles. By bringing the charging station right up to the car, every parking space becomes a potential charging point.
UZE is part of the solution to the charging problem in cities. UZE has been active in the sharing car market since 2023. With this financial support, UZE will develop an application to extend its services to citizens. This will significantly accelerate the company's (international) growth from its home market of Antwerp.
Innovation in Electric vehicles (EV) charging via mobile application
UZE, has focused on developing an app that will change the way city residents and visitors charge their electric vehicles. With this app, users can book charging at a specific location and time, tailored to the dynamic and fast-paced city life. This initiative responds to the growing need for accessible charging infrastructure in urban areas, where traditional charging solutions are often inadequate.
The added value of the UZE app lies in its flexibility and ease of use, potentially turning any parking space into a charging station. This is crucial given the expected increase in the number of electric vehicles and the associated challenges for public charging infrastructure. As well as providing a solution for EV owners without private charging infrastructure, the app also contributes to overall urban planning and quality of life by reducing the need for fixed charging points.
Aimed at both consumers and operators, the app is at the heart of UZE's strategy to accelerate EV adoption in the city and contribute to Antwerp's reputation as a progressive and sustainable city.
