Spirii and Audi forge partnership to enhance premium charging experience
-
Audi charging hubs now utilize Spirii’s advanced EV charging platform.
-
Via Spirii’s platform, Audi can leverage the newest charging technology like Plug&Charge.
-
The collaboration kicks off with Audi charging hubs in Germany, with potential expansion to additional markets.
Copenhagen, Denmark - Spirii, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging platform solutions, today announces its official partnership with Audi. This collaboration aims to significantly enhance the premium charging experience at Audi charging hubs by leveraging advanced technologies such as Plug&Charge through Spirii’s EV charging platform.
The Plug&Charge technology allows EVs to automatically authenticate and initiate charging when connected, thanks to an embedded software system in Audi's electric vehicles and other Plug&Charge-enabled vehicles. This seamless interaction between the vehicle and the charger enhances convenience and streamlines the charging process.
The collaboration initially centers on Audi’s charging hubs in major German cities, addressing the challenge of fast charging in urban areas where power availability is often limited. These hubs utilize power cubes with 2nd-life and solar-powered batteries, storing energy overnight to prepare for high-demand daytime charging. Additionally, Audi can leverage Spirii's platform to implement flexible pricing, allowing for lower rates during nighttime hours to encourage charging at off-peak times.
Tore Harritshøj, CEO and co-founder of Spirii, comments: "At Spirii, we’re thrilled to partner with a forward-thinking company like Audi, who are fully equipped to embrace the latest charging technologies, such as Plug&Charge. I’m confident that our combined efforts will enhance the charging experience and drive sustainable urban mobility forward."
Ralph Hollmig, Senior Director Premium Charging at AUDI AG, adds: "This partnership with Spirii aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing premium and seamless experiences for our EV drivers. As a premium car brand, Audi strives to offer premium charging experience, necessitating a premium back-end solution. In Spirii, we found future-proof partner capable of raising the bar for the entire EV industry."
The Audi charging hubs provide high power charging services and are open to the public, regardless of car brand.
The Audi charging hubs will be visible in the myAudi App including an Audi-only reservation possibility, Spirii’s charging app, Spirii Go, the navigation systems across all VW Group cars, and in the majority of the charging apps and maps in the market.
The Audi charging hubs are additionally part of the Selected Partners Network of Elli, an electric mobility service provider (eMSP) within the VW Group.

Spirii et Zaptec dévoilent un nouvel algorithme de recharge intelligente qui va révolutionner la gestion des grands volumes de données5.11.2024 10:16:27 CET | Pressemeddelelse
Spirii et Zaptec ont mis au point en collaboration un nouvel algorithme appelé PowerDelta, qui rendra la recharge des véhicules électriques encore plus efficace en termes d’énergie et de coûts. Cet algorithme garantit que les données du compteur des chargeurs ne sont transmises qu’en cas d’écarts dans l’alimentation électrique, au lieu d’être envoyées à intervalles fixes. Cela aidera les centres de données à éviter une consommation d’énergie inutile pour le partage de données, réduisant ainsi considérablement le besoin de transférer de grands volumes de données entre les systèmes.
Spirii und Zaptec stellen neuen intelligenten Ladealgorithmus vor – eine Revolution für das Management großer Datenmengen5.11.2024 07:05:00 CET | Pressemeddelelse
Spirii und Zaptec haben gemeinsam einen neuen Algorithmus namens PowerDelta entwickelt, der den Betrieb eines Ladenetzes energie- und kosteneffizienter machen soll. Der Algorithmus stellt sicher, dass Zählerdaten der Ladegeräte nur bei Abweichungen in der Stromversorgung übertragen werden, anstatt in festen Intervallen gesendet zu werden. Dadurch wird unnötiger Stromverbrauch in Rechenzentren für den Datenaustausch vermieden und der Bedarf an der Übertragung großer Datenmengen zwischen Systemen deutlich reduziert.
Spirii og Zaptec lancerer ny ladealgoritme, der vil reducere mængden af dataoverførsler markant5.11.2024 07:05:00 CET | Pressemeddelelse
Spirii og Zaptec har i samarbejde udviklet en ny algoritme, som vil gøre det mere mere energi- og omkostningseffektivt at oplade elbiler. Algoritmen sikrer, at laderne kun udsender ladedata, når der er afvigelser i strømforsyningen i stedet for hvert sekund, som tilfældet er i dag.
Spirii and Zaptec unveil new smart charging algorithm to revolutionise management of large data volumes5.11.2024 07:05:00 CET | Pressemeddelelse
Spirii and Zaptec have collaboratively developed a new algorithm named PowerDelta, designed to make operating a charging network more energy-efficient and cost-effective. The algorithm ensures that meter data from the chargers are only transmitted when there are deviations in the power supply, instead of being sent at fixed intervals. This will help data centers avoid unnecessary power consumption for data sharing, thereby significantly reducing the need to transport large data volumes between systems.
