Driivz to support rollout of Duracell E-Charge network in the UK

Driivz said its software platform is intended to reduce operational complexity for charge point operators by providing ‘robust session data, accurate billing and transparent settlements.’ The software platform also includes real-time charger monitoring and proactive issue resolution functions designed to improve charger availability and uptime. Driivz stated that the system supports “advanced algorithms for self-healing capabilities” to maximise network utilisation.The company added that its OCPI roaming capabilities will enable the Duracell E-Charge network to increase utilisation rates and support additional revenue streams through roaming partnerships. The network is targeting more than 100 locations and over 500 charge points across the UK by 2030, backed by planned investments exceeding £200 million.“Duracell E-Charge is being built to set a new benchmark for ultra-fast charging in the UK. That means high uptime, simple pricing and a consistently reliable experience for drivers,” said Mark Bloxham, Managing Director of Duracell E-Charge. “Driivz gives us the platform to scale quickly while maintaining control, performance and commercial efficiency as the network grows.”The charging network will also utilise Driivz’s white-label driver app and web portal. According to the company, the platform enables drivers to locate charging stations, navigate to sites, initiate charging sessions and complete payments. The system additionally provides charging history, invoices and detailed pricing information.Alongside charging operations and billing management, Driivz will provide reporting and analytics tools intended to support network planning and operational decision-making.“Charging networks that can scale, while optimising their current operations to ensure seamless charging experiences for drivers now and in the years to come, are the networks that will lead the way in the future of mobility,” said Shiri Levi-Laor, CEO of Driivz. “We’re proud to support the rollout of the Duracell E-Charge network across the UK.”Duracell E-Charge is a subsidiary of battery maker Duracell and was launched in 2025.
