Spanish EV charging company Zunder has launched Kawat, a software platform designed to help third parties manage electric vehicle charging infrastructure, as the company expands beyond operating charging stations into software and network services.
Zunder, which operates one of Southern Europe’s largest ultra-fast charging networks, said the cloud-based Kawat platform combines Charge Point Management System (CPMS) functions with e-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP) services.
The company said the software has already been adopted by several organizations ahead of its official launch, including Moeve, VINCI, Geneva Airport and SDEM50.
Kawat allows operators to manage charging infrastructure from multiple hardware suppliers through a centralized platform. According to Zunder, the software supports remote charging station management, smart charging, automated billing, roaming integration, payment systems, fleet management and customer support services.
The company said the platform is intended to simplify the operation and scaling of EV charging networks while reducing maintenance complexity.
Daniel Pérez, chief executive of Zunder, said Europe’s charging infrastructure sector is entering a phase in which operational management is becoming increasingly challenging as charging networks expand.
“Kawat was developed precisely to address those operational challenges based on real experience operating large-scale charging infrastructure,” Pérez said.
He added that the company aims to help charging operators, businesses and public institutions manage networks more efficiently as electric vehicle adoption accelerates across Europe.
Zunder said the platform currently manages more than 4,000 third-party charging points and processes thousands of charging sessions daily across six countries, serving more than 500,000 users.
The company also confirmed plans to expand Kawat into the DACH region, covering Germany, Austria and Switzerland, where it will compete with EV charging software providers such as Ampeco and Spirii.
Founded in 2017 in Palencia, Spain, Zunder initially focused on building EV charging infrastructure in underserved regions of the country.
In 2022, the company secured a 100 million euro investment from French sustainability investor Mirova to support its expansion as a fast-charging provider in Southern Europe.
At the end of 2024, Zunder opened its largest fast-charging hub in Oviedo, northern Spain, featuring 36 high-power charging connectors.
