Problem
Electric vehicle drivers often face long charging times, limited availability of high‑power stations, and fragmented services that make planning trips and managing payments cumbersome. Additionally, many charging networks lack integration with other on‑site amenities, reducing the overall value of a stop.
Solution
IPlanet operates a nationwide network of ultra‑fast charging stations delivering up to 300 kW, enabling a typical full charge in 10–20 minutes. The stations are co‑located with traditional fuel pumps, retail and dining options, turning a refuel stop into a convenient service hub. An integrated mobile app lets users locate the nearest station, reserve a connector, monitor charging progress in real time, and settle payments via card or RFID, all from their smartphone. All energy supplied is certified 100 % renewable, and the platform offers flexible pricing—including pay‑per‑use rates and subscription plans—to suit occasional drivers and fleet operators alike.
Target Audience
Primary customers are private electric‑vehicle owners and commercial fleet managers who need fast, reliable charging across Italy, as well as travelers seeking a combined refuel and service experience.
