EV charging hardware and software platform for European markets
Zaptec manufactures EV charging hardware backed by a cloud platform built on .NET, PostgreSQL, and Azure — a stack optimized for real-time grid integration (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) and multi-tenant operations. The hiring mix is heavily sales-focused (6 of 10 open roles), with partner and tender-driven motion across Switzerland, Finland, and Benelux, suggesting a shift from direct sales toward channel strategy and integrator partnerships to scale across fragmented European markets.
Zaptec designs and operates EV charging stations and supporting cloud software for residential, commercial, and fleet customers in Northern and Western Europe. The company has been operating since 2012 and is headquartered in Sandnes, Norway. The product spans hardware (physical chargers), a cloud platform for monitoring and control, and integrations with grid operators and charge-point management systems. Active projects focus on winning tenders, building installer and CPO/EMS partnerships, and expanding market presence in Switzerland, Finland, and Benelux — indicating growth beyond Scandinavia is a current priority.
Zaptec uses .NET for backend services, PostgreSQL and Azure SQL for data, React/JavaScript for frontend, and observability tools Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry. The company also implements OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) for hardware-to-cloud communication.
Zaptec is focused on tender responses and partnerships with installers and charge-point operators. Active initiatives include expanding into Swiss and Finnish markets, building integrations with CPO/EMS providers, and scaling the partner ecosystem in Benelux.
