Exciting times ahead for the electric car market

At Meshcrafts, our focus is on providing the technology to support the charging of electric vehicles. We have recently integrated new app services on Microsoft Azure to run SmartCharge, our charge point management system. SmartCharge is built on a subscription-as-a-service model, and we see the possibility of introducing the system on a platform-as-a-service model in the near future, as well as the chance to expand into new markets with other products.

We also expect the sale of analytics and data-based solutions to become part of our business model in the coming years. With the increasing number of electric cars on the market, we expect the market for energy flexibility to develop. Furthermore, the use of batteries in cars within virtual power plants is likely to develop moving forward. Meshcrafts is empowering the transformation from internal combustion engine vehicles to clean electric vehicles, reducing emissions and local air pollution. Mobility and energy are definitely industries that will experience large changes over the next few years in my opinion, and Meshcrafts will have a presence in both.
