Interview: Why data is crucial for growing charging networks

From the newsletter

Many Nigerian electric vehicle charging companies lack access to reliable data, making it difficult to plan network expansions strategically, says Philip Ogunleye, the founder and CEO of Vine Mobility. Data such as utilisation rates help charging operators make informed decisions on where to install stations and how to optimise their performance, says Mr Ogunleye.

• Vine Mobility is a Nigerian EV software company that manages and monitors charging stations. It began by piloting chargers in residential areas and is now expanding its network into business premises.

• Data is crucial for expanding charging infrastructure, guiding where and how to deploy stations efficiently. However, many operators lack reliable data, a gap he aims to close through Vine Mobility’s smart monitoring and analytics solutions.
