Gelderland pays drivers to shift a charging session, and the app does the steering
A pilot launched in Gelderland in July 2026 pays EV drivers a financial reward, averaging 10 percent of their charging cost, for letting a public charging session shift to a quieter moment on the grid. The trial covers around 12,000 public charge points across the province and runs until January 2027. Six organisations built it: grid operator Liander supplies the capacity signal, Deftpower supplies the flexibility technology, Vattenfall and Allego operate the charge points, and ANWB and Athlon handle the driver-facing app and reward.
The mechanism is entirely software. A driver sets a departure time in the app, the flexibility platform decides when to actually deliver the power, and the charge point itself never changes, it just executes what it is told. That is the architecture worth noticing: the flexibility lives in a layer above the hardware, negotiated between the app, the flex platform and the back office running the charge point. The same pattern works on private terrain over OCPP, on whatever charger is already on the wall, which is what a charging back office that can talk to any brand of charge point buys a site owner. This pilot is public charging and a trial; Plugchoice is not part of it and does not offer a comparable reward today.
Allego migrates its 35,000-point European network to the AMPECO platform
Allego, the Netherlands-based public charging operator, is migrating its European network to a new charge point management platform. Following a formal tender, it picked AMPECO, a Sofia-based CSMS vendor, to run more than 35,000 charge points across 16 countries, roughly 1.3 million charging sessions a month, 200,000-plus registered drivers and 60-plus roaming connections. Allego expects the migration to complete in Q4 2026.
Allego COO Christian Zeh said the company had "found a partner we can trust with the technology behind our network"; AMPECO CEO Orlin Radev called the deal "a strong signal of how much the market has matured."
The same mechanism applies at any scale and is what Plugchoice is built on. Chargers that speak OCPP can be pointed at a different backend, or routed through a proxy, without replacing hardware.
The scale is what makes this worth noting: one of Europe's largest public networks is replacing its entire software backend without swapping a single charger. That is the point of running chargers on OCPP in the first place, the hardware and the management platform are separate layers, so a backend switch is a software project, not a construction one. It is the same principle behind Plugchoice's OCPP proxy: change or add a backend without touching the chargers or the drivers.
