Lumme Energia Wins eMabler Award for Most Future-Proof Operator

Quick Answer

Lumme Energia, a Finnish energy company, received the eMabler Award for Most Future-Proof Operator in 2025 for building an EV charging service defined by full automation, Salesforce integration, single sign-on across services, role-based fleet access controls, and elimination of manual data imports. Partnering with eMabler in 2024, Lumme rejected rigid white-label platforms in favour of an API-first, fully branded charging service that scales without operational bottlenecks. The award recognises performance across five industry-defined dimensions of future-proof infrastructure: scalability, automation and efficiency, customer-centric innovation, operational resilience, and speed of execution. The eMabler Awards are based on real-world operational data rather than applications or jury decisions, recognising operators who turn technology into measurable business outcomes.

Innovation, scalability, and infrastructure readiness sets Lumme Energia apart as a leader in the future of EV charging.

Helsinki, Finland – September 30, 2025 - eMabler proudly announces the recipient of its second eMabler Award of 2025: Lumme Energia. Lumme Energia is a fast-moving Finnish energy company powering both fleet and B2B businesses with future-proof solutions. Their focus on customer experience and digital innovation (24/7/365 service automation) makes them a standout player in the energy space.

The recognition celebrates Lumme Energia’s leadership in building an EV charging service designed for scalability, automation, and seamless customer experience, setting a benchmark for how to prepare infrastructure for the decade ahead.

“At eMabler, future-proofing means building infrastructure that grows, adapts, and delivers value year after year, going well beyond uptime as the only measure of success.” said Juha Stenberg, CEO at eMabler. “Lumme Energia has shown that with clear vision, automation, and scalable systems, you can create charging services that are ready for whatever the future brings.”

Future-Proofing as a Business Imperativ

The EV charging industry is in constant flux, driven by new regulations, shifting customer expectations, technological change, and energy system integration. In such an environment, being “future-proof” means building systems that work today but also remain competitive, adaptable, and scalable tomorrow.

Lumme Energia adopted this mindset early. As EV adoption gained pace, they saw that white-label charging platforms were too rigid, lacked seamless integration, offered minimal branding options, and created operational inefficiencies.

They chose a different path: to design an EV charging service that was fully automated, customer-centric, and built for scale. A system that would not only meet current expectations but also stay ahead as the market matures.

What “Future-Proof” Means in EV Charging

In the EV charging industry, future-proof means building systems that are prepared to adapt to whatever comes next; from new technologies to changing customer expectations and regulatory requirements.

Operators face constant shifts in technology, regulations, and customer expectations. To stay competitive, infrastructure must be able to scale, adapt, and perform no matter what comes next.

Independent research and regulatory bodies [IEA, EY, OCA] typically define EV charging growth capabilities across five dimensions:

• Scalability: Systems must grow with demand, integrate with enterprise tools like CRMs and ERPs, and support multi-market expansion without bottlenecks.

• Automation & Efficiency: Processes from onboarding to billing must be automated to reduce OPEX and free teams from manual fixes.

• Customer-Centric Innovation: Drivers expect intuitive, always-available services. Features like single sign-on, seamless payments, and secure fleet access are the new baseline.

• Operational Resilience: Platforms must be flexible, avoiding lock-in to rigid solutions, and ready to adapt to new standards, protocols, and regulations.

• Speed of Execution: The ability to move from strategy to live deployment quickly is a must in a fast-evolving market.

These dimensions form the industry benchmark for future-proof infrastructure. They reflect not just reliability today, but the readiness to keep delivering value tomorrow. Lumme Energia’s award recognizes their excellence across all five, turning future-proofing from an industry challenge into a measurable reality.

From Vision to Scalable Reality

When Lumme partnered with eMabler in 2024, they had a clear vision: create a seamless charging experience that matched the quality and trust customers already associated with their brand.

They needed a system that could:

• Sync smoothly with Salesforce, their main CRM.

• Automate charging service operations from end to end.

• Eliminate manual imports and data fixes.

• Offer a fully branded, seamless customer journey.

eMabler’s API-first, cloud-native platform provided the foundation. In just a few weeks, architects from both companies built a technical roadmap, launched a staging environment, and initiated system integrations.

The Results: Agile, Automated, and On-Brand

The outcome is a fully integrated EV charging service that reflects Lumme Energia’s standards: agile, simple, and scalable. Lumme Energia’s achievements include:

• Single sign-on across all their services. Customers log in once to access everything. Role-based controls giving fleet managers secure, tailored access.

• Automated data flows between eMabler and Lumme Energia’s business systems, including Salesforce.

• Eliminated manual imports and fixes, freeing internal teams to focus on delivering value instead of correcting errors.

These outcomes already deliver lower operating costs, faster service delivery, and a more consistent customer experience. More importantly, they provide a flexible foundation that will support future innovations, from integrating new vehicle technologies to meeting evolving EU regulations and scaling services into new customer segments.

Raising the Industry Standard

Europe’s EV charging ecosystem is evolving rapidly. New regulations such as the EU’s AFIR set the bar high for uptime and availability. But as eMabler emphasizes, uptime alone is not enough. The future will be won by operators who combine availability with scalability, automation, and seamless user experiences.

“Lumme Energia shows what it means to build with tomorrow in mind,” added Juha Stenberg. “They’ve proven that the best way to prepare for the future is to act on it today.”

Lumme Energia has already proven that this model works. With flexibility and automation at the core, they are prepared for the next wave of EV adoption, ready to scale infrastructure, integrate new services, and meet stricter compliance standards.

“We’re glad to receive the eMabler Award 2025 as the Most Future-Proof Operator,” said Niko Oksa, Business Manager at Lumme Energia. “This recognition reflects our team’s commitment to innovation, scalability, and building smart infrastructure for the future of energy.”

Customer-First, Innovation-Driven

At the heart of Lumme Energia’s approach is a customer-first mindset. They designed their EV charging service around what matters most: simplicity, security, and trust. Their systems are fully aligned with the brand, guaranteeing that charging feels as effortless as any of their other energy services.

This innovation-driven approach, combined with eMabler’s technology, has created a charging network that is not only operationally strong but also aligned with long-term business growth.

Recognizing Leaders in Action

The eMabler Awards celebrate customers who don’t just adopt technology but actively use it to drive measurable results and industry progress. Lumme Energia exemplifies this leadership:

• They didn’t settle for off-the-shelf solutions.

• They built scalable, automated infrastructure.

• They moved fast and delivered measurable outcomes.

The Most Future-Proof Operator Award recognizes this unique combination of vision, execution, and measurable progress.
