Where EnerGo Connect wins for a 10–200-charger CPO

Five concrete reasons, all of them downstream of one decision: we sized this product for the segment Driivz doesn't actually serve.

  • Published pricing

    Driivz negotiates per deal. We publish €29/charger/month + 3%/session as a single global number, with volume discounts at 200 and 1,000 chargers and emerging-market parity. A CFO can model 12 months of Connect spend in a spreadsheet. They cannot do that with Driivz.

  • Speed to first live charger

    Driivz implementations are projects — scoping, contracting, integration, go-live. Connect's onboarding is operational: hand us OCPP credentials in the morning, your first charger is live by end of day. The two-week paid pilot puts you on production with up to 5 of your real chargers.

  • Multi-tenant from the first table

    Driivz supports sub-brands as an enterprise feature. In Connect, every operator is a tenant from the schema up. That means franchise networks, partner programmes, and multi-brand portfolios work without bespoke configuration.

  • Walk-away terms

    Driivz contracts are multi-year. Connect is month-to-month, with a full data export on exit (CDRs, users, tariffs, audit log) at no charge. The economic argument we have to make is 'stay because it works,' not 'stay because you signed.'

  • Public changelog with issue keys

    We ship every release publicly with the same EG-### issue keys we use internally. You can verify what shipped, when, and why. Driivz's release notes are gated to customers. We think the public posture is a feature, not a marketing risk.

Where Driivz wins (honestly)

If we don't tell you the cases where Driivz is the right call, you won't trust the rest of the page. Here they are.

  • Tier-1 utility integrations

    If you're a utility-affiliated CPO with deep ties into grid-operator systems (load-balancing across thousands of DC chargers, demand-response programmes, ancillary-market participation), Driivz's enterprise heritage and ABB ownership are real assets. Connect doesn't compete in that frame.

  • Scale beyond 1,000 chargers in a single tenant

    Our pricing model and architecture is sharp for 10–200 chargers, fine for 200–1,000, and at 1,000+ you should at least benchmark Driivz alongside us. Their unit economics get more attractive as scale rises; ours stay flat.

  • OCA OCPP 2.0.1 certification

    Driivz carries an OCA-certified OCPP 2.0.1 implementation. Our 2.0.1 implementation is production-tested but not OCA-certified. If certification is a procurement requirement (rare outside enterprise RFPs), that's a Driivz win.

What you'd actually pay — three real scenarios

We use real session volumes from our own production network. Driivz figures are derived from public third-party reports — we'll happily replace them with a published price the day Driivz publishes one.

Small CPO — 25 chargers (20 AC + 5 DC), 1,200 sessions/month, €18 average session

EnerGo Connect
25 × €29 = €725/month subscription + 3% × €21,600 = €648/month transaction = €1,373/month all-in.
Driivz
25 ports × ~€700/yr = ~€1,458/month, plus a one-time implementation project (third-party reports €40k–€100k+).

Connect is roughly break-even on monthly run-rate and meaningfully cheaper in year one once implementation is included.

Mid CPO — 80 chargers (50 AC + 30 DC), 5,000 sessions/month, €22 average session

EnerGo Connect
80 × €29 = €2,320/month + 3% × €110,000 = €3,300/month = €5,620/month all-in.
Driivz
80 × ~€700/yr = ~€4,667/month base, plus enterprise implementation and platform tier fees.

Driivz crosses ahead on monthly run-rate at this scale; once implementation, integrations, and multi-year commitment cost are included, Connect remains lower year one and competitive thereafter.

Mid-large CPO — 180 chargers (100 AC + 80 DC), 14,000 sessions/month, €25 average session

EnerGo Connect
180 × €29 = €5,220/month + 3% × €350,000 = €10,500/month = €15,720/month all-in. Volume discount available at 200 chargers.
Driivz
180 × ~€700/yr = ~€10,500/month base + enterprise platform tier + implementation. Sales-led — RFP your actual quote.

This is the upper edge of Connect's sweet spot. We'll model your real session distribution on the demo call.

Migrating from Driivz to EnerGo Connect — the 9-day path

Real timeline from our last Driivz-to-Connect migration (40 chargers, Q1 2026). We do the import. You verify and approve each step.

Total: 9 working days, end-to-end

What you supply

  • Read-only Driivz API token (or a Driivz support ticket granting export access)
  • Charger inventory: EVSE IDs, OCPP serial numbers, locations, current OCPP endpoint URL
  • Tariff and pricing structures (export from Driivz tariff module)
  • User database (anonymised CSV — we re-import with consent emails before cut-over)
  • Driver-app branding assets (logo, colour tokens, app store metadata)

What you get back

  • Your chargers reporting to EnerGo Connect's OCPP backend on day 6 (parallel run) and exclusively on day 9 (cut-over)
  • Driver app re-skinned and published to App Store / Play Store under your brand
  • Operator portal tenant configured with imported users, tariffs, and roaming partners
  • Full Driivz archive snapshot delivered to you for compliance
  1. Day 1

    Day 1 — Audit

    We map your Driivz fleet, tariffs, user database, and roaming connections. Read-only — no production change. We deliver a written audit report by end of day.

  2. Days 2–3

    Day 2–3 — Stand-up

    Your EnerGo Connect tenant is provisioned in EU-Frankfurt (or your chosen region). Charger metadata, tariffs, and user database are imported. Driver app branding is applied to the staging build.

  3. Days 4–6

    Day 4–6 — OCPP re-point

    Your chargers' OCPP endpoint is switched to EnerGo's backend, one cabinet at a time, during off-peak hours. Each cabinet is verified live within 30 minutes of switch.

  4. Days 7–8

    Day 7–8 — Parallel run

    Both systems are live for 48 hours. We reconcile sessions, payments, and roaming events row-by-row and surface any discrepancies.

  5. Day 9

    Day 9 — Cut-over + retire

    Driver app is published to App Store and Play. Driivz tenant is decommissioned. Archive snapshot is delivered to you. We stay on-call for the first session of every new day for two weeks.

Driivz vs Connect — FAQ

Is EnerGo Connect production-grade?

Yes. Connect is the same software powering our own production network in Armenia, with sessions, payments, and roaming running 24/7. The public changelog (with EG-### issue keys) is the audit trail. If you want a reference call with a customer who migrated off an enterprise CPMS, we'll arrange one.

Can you actually replace Driivz at our scale?

If you run between 10 and 200 chargers — yes, this is exactly the segment we built for. If you run 1,000+ across multiple countries with utility-grade grid integrations, Driivz's heritage is more aligned. Our two-week paid pilot is the cleanest way to find out — same production stack, your real chargers, real sessions.

What's the migration risk to drivers mid-session?

Zero. OCPP re-pointing happens during off-peak windows and per-cabinet. In-flight sessions complete on the old endpoint; the next session starts on the new one. Driver-app cut-over is a separate, scheduled day where the new app goes live in App Store / Play Store and drivers update via standard auto-update channels.

What about our OCPI roaming partners?

OCPI 2.2 is a clean handshake. We swap your party ID's endpoint, your roaming partners re-handshake (typically <24 hours), and roaming sessions continue. We coordinate the handshake with each partner — you don't have to chase Hubject or Gireve yourself.

What if we want to leave Connect after 90 days?

You take everything with you. Full export of CDRs, users (with consent), tariffs, audit log, and roaming history. Month-to-month means month-to-month — no termination fee, no data hostage.

Is Driivz cheaper at scale?

It can be. Above 1,000 chargers in a single tenant, with multi-year commitment and enterprise leverage, Driivz's per-port economics can win. Below that — and especially in year one when Driivz's implementation cost is amortising — Connect's published price is usually lower in total cost of ownership. Bring your last 12 months of session data to the demo; we'll model both.

Where can I verify your pricing claim about Driivz?

AmpUp's 2024 EV charging software buyer guide; the 2025 EVMagazine CPMS landscape report; softwarefinder.com vendor listings. Driivz does not publish a price publicly. If Driivz publishes a different number, email us — we update this page within a business day.
