Deftpower is an AI-supported SaaS platform for the electric vehicle (EV) charging market, founded in 2020 by Marc Diks and Jacob van Zonneveld. Operating from Arnhem, Netherlands, the company provides a white-label software platform that allows other businesses, such as mobility service providers (MSPs), car manufacturers, and utilities, to offer EV charging services under their own brand. Deftpower's business model is centered on its Automotive Charging Platform, which connects charging station networks, car makers, and energy providers to create a scalable and cost-saving ecosystem.
The company's core product is a customizable and modular mobile app that gives EV drivers access to over 450,000 charging points across Europe. This app allows users to locate available stations, manage payments, and receive real-time data. A key feature is the Plug&Charge functionality, based on the ISO 15118 standard, which simplifies the charging process by enabling automatic authentication and payment when an EV is plugged in. The platform also includes a portal for businesses to manage their charging networks, set tariffs, prevent fraud, and handle invoicing. Deftpower's technology aims to optimize the charging process by integrating the flexible capacity of EVs into the broader energy grid, promoting the use of renewable energy.
The founders, Marc Diks and Jacob van Zonneveld, along with Remco Tjeerdsma, leveraged their experience in the energy and automotive sectors to address the fragmented nature of the EV charging industry. Deftpower has secured multiple funding rounds, including a recent seed round in February 2024 led by 4impact Capital with participation from existing investors like Proeza Ventures, Rethink Ventures, and Koolen Industries. The company also received a €2.5M grant from the EU EIC Accelerator program. Deftpower has formed strategic partnerships with companies like Hubject, Fisker, TomTom, and Volue to expand its reach and capabilities.
