The scope of the EV (electric vehicle) assistance partnership is to provide 24/7 technical support to EVBox customers across Europe. Initially in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. This partnership is also expected to expand into France, England, Germany, Italy, and Spain in 2020. 

By entering into this strategic partnership with EVBox, ARC Europe will simultaneously enhance existing call center capabilities, providing remote technical support to EVBox customers facing issues at a charging station, and provide pan-European support using knowledgeable and experienced EV specialists.
