Working Together on Scalable EV Charging Infrastructure: Peblar and EVesto
In the rapidly growing EV market, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: no single party can, or needs to, do everything alone. True acceleration happens when specialists find each other and amplify one another’s strengths. That is exactly what the partnership between Peblar and EVesto demonstrates.
While Peblar focuses entirely on developing extremely reliable, Dutch-manufactured charging solutions, EVesto concentrates on one core mission: delivering a stable, scalable, and intuitive Charge Point Management System (CPMS). Together, they form a powerful combination for manufacturers, CPOs, and partners across the EV ecosystem.
“I actually struggled to find negative feedback, and that says everything.”

About Peblar: Hardware Without Compromise
Peblar is part of Prodrive Technologies, a high-tech manufacturing company with more than 30 years of experience in automotive, semiconductor, and medical technology. From its headquarters in Eindhoven, Peblar develops and manufactures EV charging stations entirely in-house, from PCB to enclosure.
“We truly see a charging point as an extension of the car,” says Paul Vugts, Technical Account Manager Benelux at Peblar. “It must be robust, extremely reliable, and easy to integrate into other systems. We don’t want to build everything ourselves within a closed ecosystem. We want to create the best hardware possible and collaborate with partners who are equally strong in their own domain.”
The Challenge: Testing, Developing, and Scaling Without Noise
For both internal testing environments and day-to-day operational use, Peblar needed a CPMS that did exactly what was required, and nothing more. No unnecessary features, no mandatory contract structures, but a stable platform capable of managing, testing, and controlling charging stations efficiently.
“From a technical perspective, we were primarily looking for something intuitive, fast, and stable,” Paul Vugts explains. “Our engineers needed to debug, test, and roll out firmware updates without having to navigate multiple layers of support first.”
Why EVesto?
The decision to partner with EVesto was deliberate and driven by substance. The platform aligned seamlessly with Peblar’s way of working: technical, transparent, and scalable.
“It felt like the platform was built with genuine technical depth,” says Paul Vugts. “At the same time, it’s accessible and scalable for organizations that want to grow. We needed a strong CPMS foundation that could evolve alongside us. And we found that at EVesto.”
Flexibility proved to be another decisive factor. Whether it’s a simple test setup, an internal charging environment, or customers looking to launch their own CPO operations, EVesto scales effortlessly.
Collaboration as It Should Be
What truly distinguishes this partnership is the way the companies work together: short communication lines, direct access to technical expertise, and a shared technical language.
“If something comes up, we connect directly with people who understand how the system works,” Paul Vugts explains. “At EVesto, developers talk to developers. That sounds logical, but it’s far from standard in this industry. It saves an enormous amount of time and frustration.”
This sentiment is echoed internally at Peblar. Feedback from daily platform users is consistent: the system is intuitive, stable, and does exactly what it is designed to do.
“I actually struggled to find negative feedback,” says Paul Vugts. “And that says everything.”
The Power of Focus: Stick to What You Do Best
At the core of the Peblar–EVesto partnership lies focus. Both organizations strongly believe that you become better by excelling at what you do best, and collaborating for the rest.
“We build hardware. EVesto builds a rock-solid CPMS,” says Paul Vugts. “By keeping those roles clear, we create far more value for customers than if we tried to build everything ourselves.”
This philosophy aligns seamlessly with EVesto’s vision: an open, scalable platform that empowers other parties to build their own brand and CPO strategy on a solid technical foundation.
A Partnership That Continues to Grow
Today, EVesto supports Peblar in internal testing setups, office locations, and with customers who combine Peblar hardware with their own back-office solutions. The collaboration directly contributes to faster development, improved product quality, and a future-proof EV ecosystem.
“Why reinvent the wheel?” Paul Vugts concludes. “With EVesto, you have a platform that grows with you. That makes it an ideal starting point, and a sustainable long-term partner.”
