Diebold Nixdorf is teaming with Compleo, a provider of charging technology in Europe, to provide managed services for charge point operators across Europe. Initially, the partnership will cover more than 1,000 DC fast charging stations for electric vehicles in public locations across Germany with the potential for expansion, according to a press release.

The electric vehicle market has grown rapidly with European sales reaching 3.2 million vehicles in 2020. To power these vehicles, EV charging station deployments have surged, with approximately 200,000 public charge points deployed across Europe at the end of 2019 and a further 1 million units expected by 2025, creating high demand for installation and maintenance services for these devices.

Compleo will provide the required hardware, software services and complete turnkey solutions, while Diebold Nixdorf will provide managed services, including responsive break/fix, preventive maintenance, help desk, monitoring and data analysis.

"With Diebold Nixdorf, we have found a partner that complements our existing service network with qualified technicians and accompanies us into Compleo's next growth phase," Jens Stolze, Compleo COO, said in the release.
