In EV charging since 2014.
Plugchoice is made by Volt Time in Amsterdam. We installed chargers before we built software for them, and Plugchoice is the software we did not have back then.
Leadership

How Plugchoice started
It grew out of the tooling we built for our own chargers.
- Installers firstFrom 2014 we installed chargers ourselves, and kept running into unreliable hardware, missing software and poor support from manufacturers.
- Volt Time, in 2020Tijn and Berend founded Volt Time in the Netherlands, to bring chargers to market that installers can rely on.
- The platform, in 2023We built the platform, then called Volt Time Cloud, to service our own chargers. It turned out to work for chargers of other brands too.
- Plugchoice, in 2026The same platform now carries its own name, Plugchoice, free to use with chargers that speak OCPP.
