The EV charging ecosystem is accelerating but behind the scenes, connectivity problems are holding it back. Over 50% of failed charging sessions are caused by network issues, and roughly 1 in 4 public chargers is non-functional at any given time. The result? Lost revenue, frustrated drivers, and mounting pressure to meet uptime mandates and regulatory benchmarks.
KORE Super SIM: Purpose-Built for Always-On Charging Networks
KORE Super SIM™ solves the connectivity problem by delivering highly reliable, scalable, and intelligent IoT cellular connectivity for EV charging deployments. It’s designed to keep charging stations online at all times, even in areas with poor or fluctuating signal. Here’s how:
- Multi-Network Access with Automatic Failover: Super SIM connects to over 400 cellular networks in 185+ countries. If the primary network fails or weakens, it automatically switches to the best available alternative with no manual intervention required.
- Local Internet Breakouts: Traffic exits locally to reduce latency and comply with local regulations in countries with permanent roaming restrictions, such as Brazil, Turkey, and Canada. KORE simplifies compliance with eUICC-enabled eSIM profiles that are provisioned over-the-air.
- Developer-Friendly APIs: Highly scalable APIs give software teams full programmatic control over SIM lifecycle management, provisioning, diagnostics, and usage data.
- Deep Network Visibility: Unlike traditional MVNOs, KORE operates its own mobile core, offering unparalleled transparency into SIM and network behavior, enabling fast diagnostics and issue resolution.
One SIM. One Platform. Global Scale.
Rather than dealing with multiple SIM vendors, contracts, and compliance challenges, KORE customers gain a single global SKU for all deployments. With Super SIM, EV solution providers benefit from:
- One contract, one bill, and one portal across global deployments
- Simplified inventory with a universal SIM for all regions
- Reduced time-to-market by avoiding country-by-country SIM sourcing and testing
- Built-in regulatory and carrier certification services to meet local standards
End-to-End Lifecycle Support to Reduce TCO
KORE supports the entire lifecycle of EV charger deployments – not just connectivity:
- Planning & Consulting: Expert guidance on modem selection, antenna design, and network architecture.
- Device Certification & Testing: Fast-track your launch with carrier and regulatory approvals built in.
- Staging & Kitting: SIMs inserted, devices configured and labeled – ready for deployment out of the box.
- Remote Device & SIM Management: Over-the-air updates, network orchestration, and real-time issue resolution.
This integrated approach significantly lowers total cost of ownership by eliminating fragmentation and reducing manual effort across the deployment and management process.
Built to Last: Hardware You Can Trust
KORE partners with leading hardware providers to support industrial-grade connectivity at the edge:
- Cradlepoint S400: Dual SIM LTE Cat 6 router with secure NetCloud remote management, ideal for distributed, high-reliability CPO networks
- Teltonika RUT241: Compact LTE Cat 4 router with automatic WAN failover, firewall/VPN support, and cloud-based RMS management, perfect for rugged outdoor charger environments
Whether deployed in urban hubs or remote highway rest stops, KORE’s hardware partnerships combined with Super SIM ensure your connectivity stands up to the environment and your customers’ expectations.
Customer Testimonial: eDRV
“We realized very quickly that reliable connectivity was something that Super SIM was able to provide. These IoT SIMs were simply superior. They stayed up. Where they had to switch networks they switched, automatically. Super SIM is built on fantastic infrastructure. That gave us a lot of confidence.”
As EV adoption accelerates, so does the demand for charging networks that are always online, always reliable, and built to scale. Connectivity isn’t just a feature; it’s the foundation of performance, uptime, and customer trust.
With KORE Super SIM, charge point operators, manufacturers, and software providers get more than a SIM card. You get a global, intelligent connectivity platform purpose-built for the EV charging ecosystem—backed by end-to-end lifecycle support, simplified compliance, and unmatched network visibility.
