Simplifying EV Charging: The Successful Partnership Between Roulez Électrique and AXSO

Launched in June 2024, Avenues Électriques is an electric vehicle charging network operated by Roulez Électrique that has experienced rapid growth since its launch. In a short period of time, Avenues Électriques has deployed more than 40 connectors, including approximately 30 DC fast-charging stations. The network is currently deployed across several locations, including Lévis, where it operates eight DC fast-charging stations and three Level 2 chargers, as well as Saint-Roch-de-Mékinac and Trois-Rivières. A fourth station is also in operation in the Greater Montreal area.

Beyond infrastructure deployment, Avenues Électriques aims to stand out by offering a user-focused charging experience. Its goal is to provide EV drivers with a simple and enjoyable charging experience, with convenient services and amenities nearby while they charge.

Simplifying the Charging Experience

The growth of electric mobility comes with an important challenge: the fragmentation of charging networks and applications.

EV drivers often have to navigate multiple apps, accounts, and platforms to access the different charging stations available. This growing number of tools can make the charging experience more complex and less intuitive.

For Avenues Électriques, the challenge was therefore to implement a technology infrastructure capable of centralizing the management of its charging stations, while maintaining the flexibility needed to support maintenance, user assistance, and pricing management.

Why AXSO?

AXSO Connect enables the different components of a charging infrastructure to be connected and managed through a single platform. Through its compatibility with the OCPP protocol, the solution makes it possible to centralize charger management, monitor their operation, and streamline maintenance activities.

The solution also provides flexibility in carbon credit management, allowing Avenues Électriques to retain greater control over how these credits are managed and claimed.

Finally, AXSO Connect supports flexible pricing management based on different power levels, allowing pricing models to evolve according to the needs of the network and its users.

The Benefits of the Partnership

Through its partnership with AXSO, Avenues Électriques has access to several solutions to support the development of its network:

• Centralized infrastructure: Manage Level 2 and DC fast-charging stations from multiple manufacturers through a single platform.
• Interoperability: Integrate chargers with other major public charging networks to maximize utilization and revenue opportunities.
• Maintenance management: Gain greater visibility into equipment status and performance.
• Flexible pricing: Adapt charging rates based on power levels and network requirements.
• Carbon credit flexibility: Avenues Électriques retains 100% of the carbon credits generated, giving the operator greater flexibility to support the continued expansion of its network.

The partnership with AXSO provides Avenues Électriques with a technology solution that can evolve alongside the network’s growth and support its ambition to contribute to the development of electric mobility across Quebec.
