Powering the electric movement and growing together – Partner Planet and Partner Awards 2025  

At Kempower, we believe that delivering world-class EV charging solutions for everyone and everywhere requires more than just innovative technology—it demands strong, trusted partnerships. Our Sales & Service Partners are the backbone of this mission. They are not only the face of Kempower in local markets but also the driving force behind our operational excellence, customer satisfaction, and strategic growth. 

These partners extend our reach into new regions, manage end-to-end customer relationships, and ensure that every Kempower solution is installed, supported, and optimized to meet local needs. Their expertise and commitment allow us to scale up efficiently while maintaining the high standards expected by our customers. 

Kempower Partner Planet 2025: Powering Partnerships for the Future 

Kempower Partner Planet 2025, our global partner event, took place on September 9–12 in the scenic surroundings of Vierumäki, Finland. This annual gathering is designed to celebrate our valued partnerships and strengthen collaboration across our global partner network. 

The partners came together for an inspiring program filled with innovation, connection, and shared vision. The agenda featured keynote speeches from Kempower leaders and partners, interactive breakout sessions, and a comprehensive expo covering product, service, sales, and software topics. 

Attendees had the opportunity to explore Kempower’s operations firsthand through guided factory tours at our headquarters and factories in Lahti, paired with visits to the ABC Renkomäki charging station. Beyond business, the event offered a variety of recreational activities, culminating in two memorable evenings: the traditional Partner Awards Dinner and a Southeast Asia Theme Dinner. 

This year’s theme—Shared Success, Long-Term Collaboration, and Collective Impact—highlighted our joint commitment to electrifying mobility. Together, we are empowering each other with the tools, insights, and recognition needed to shape the future of EV charging. 

Kempower Partner Awards 2025: Recognizing the Best in Partnership 

The Kempower Partner Awards have evolved into a cherished annual tradition, honoring the sales and service partners who have made a meaningful impact over the past year. These awards celebrate collaboration on key milestones and recognize partners who exemplify excellence—whether through outstanding performance, brand loyalty, or strategic contributions. 

This is our moment to shine a light on both established and new partners, acknowledging the diverse roles they play in driving forward the electrification of mobility. Awards are presented across multiple categories, each designed to highlight unique strengths and the value of our partnerships. 

The 2025 Kempower Partner Awards winners are: 

Excellence in Technical Innovation Award - Charge Hub Australia 

This award celebrates pushing technical boundaries with style, precision, and expertise. The team has set a new standard — from building large-scale bus depots and port installations to integrating Kempower hardware and software into complex systems. 

They’ve been a true one-brand powerhouse, delivering consultancy, system design, and technical support before and after sales. Their work with Australian bus operators has been exceptional. 

Most Active Brand Ambassador Award – Batenburg Installatietechniek NV 

This award celebrates a partner who embraced Kempower with full energy and has championed our brand ever since. Since the start of our collaboration in 2023, they’ve driven Kempower’s presence across e-mobility with real impact. 

A key milestone came in early 2024 when they helped secure Kempower’s first bus tender with Qbuzz and took on the service role for the project. It’s been a smooth, effective partnership — and incredible to see how far we’ve come together in such a short time. 

Collaborative Impact Partner Award – Vlotte VKW 

This award honors a partner who goes beyond working with us — they grow with us, challenge us, and help create better solutions. 

From buses and trucks to retail and public charging, their impact spans every segment. They’re shaping the future too: integrating ChargEye into Austria’s leading backend, driving cybersecurity, and pushing innovation forward. 

Service Partner Rising Star of the Year –Yunex  

Since joining our UK-wide distributor and service network in early 2024, this partner has made an impressive impact. They’ve already delivered standout Kempower installations, including projects with Bristol City Council and the new Strawberry Fields farm shop charging site. 

With tailored solutions for both public and commercial sectors, a strong engineering network, and fast response times, they bring unmatched service quality to a fast-moving industry. Backed by 12+ years of EV charging expertise, they combine technical know-how, reliability, and a customer-first mindset — making them a true asset and a pleasure to work with. 

Most Innovative Charging Station award – Driiv Solutions 

A project that redefines electric mobility has landed at Stavanger Airport, Norway: Kempower’s first 300 kW charger for electric aircraft. 

This isn’t just a charger — it’s a leap toward sustainable aviation. Featuring underground cable handling for the first time, the installation showcases engineering ingenuity and supports Norway’s bold goal to electrify all short-haul flights by 2040. 

From runways to the future of flight, this milestone positions Norway as a global testbed for zero-emission aviation through a Kempower partnership.  

Most Sustainable & Reliable Partner – National Energy Equipment  

This award honors a partner who has set the standard for consistency, scale, and trust across Canada. Joining our team in mid-2022, they’ve grown from regional success to nationwide impact, operating in every province. 

With a strong mix of CPOs and fleet customers—the fastest-growing segments—they deliver exceptional service that keeps clients coming back. Beyond today’s success, they’re shaping the future with backend integrations and cybersecurity solutions to ensure we’re ready for what’s next. 

The Service Partner of the Year award - Gilbarco Veeder-Root 

This award is granted to a partner who truly sets the standard when it comes to service — reliable, responsive, and always going the extra mile. They have consistently shown what great service looks like. They put the customer first, listen closely, and act fast — always with a strong service mindset and a focus on long-term value. 

They’ve gone above and beyond time and again, stepping up in complex situations, offering support outside the usual scope, and always delivering with precision and consistency. 

Sales Partner of the Year award – MIDES 

This award celebrates a partner that demonstrates true growth and determination, even in challenging market conditions. 

Through strategic wins and a strong shared vision, our collaboration is creating a truly meaningful impact in the Iberian region. 

The Sales & Service Partner of the Year award – GodEnergi 

This award is granted to a partner who’s been with us from the very beginning. 

Through smart problem-solving, deep collaboration, and a relentless focus on quality, they’ve taken depot charging in Denmark to a whole new level.  

For the past 10 years, they’ve worked tirelessly for the green transition, and their success is absolutely earned. At Kempower, we’re proud to be part of this journey — and in Denmark, we even joke that instead of Netflix, we watch ChargEye TV! 

A heartfelt thank you to our global sales and service partners for your continued support 

We’re grateful for your dedication and collaboration—your openness and commitment are the foundation of our shared progress. 

Together, we make a difference. With your continued trust and passion, the future holds even greater opportunities. 

Let’s keep growing and winning—together!
