GARO has signed a framework agreement with E.ON Drive Infrastructure (EDRI) covering products for public electric vehicle (EV) charging in Europe. The previous partnership with E.ON is thus being further strengthened and broadened for the build-out of charging infrastructure in Europe, with the emphasis on sustainable products and solutions. The agreement with EDRI runs until 2027 with an extension option.

EDRI is a charge point operator that combines its long experience of network development and construction and operation of public charging infrastructure for electric cars and commercial vehicles. EDRI operates more than 3,700 public EV charge points in Europe and is working to expand this network rapidly. Additionally, E.ON provides 10,000 charge points in the private and business sector.

100% of the electricity supplied to EDRI's charge points is certified fossil free and derived from renewable energy, and the company has a clear emphasis on sustainability as part of its vision. EDRI owns the charge points and is responsible for their daily operation. In addition to existing tests, GARO's products have also undergone quality tests in E.ON's own test lab.

This is to ensure that the products meet the higher quality standards and will thus have a long service life when installed at the charging stations across Europe and that, in the event of any incidents, well-established processes and flows are in place for support and aftermarket.
