Charging, the way it should be. Allego Holiday Couple Arnhem, Netherlands, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allego is the first in the world to launch the most secure version of Plug & Charge technology built on the latest OCPP 2.0.1 protocol. The Plug & Charge technology allows drivers to automatically authenticate and pay when plugging in, eliminating the need for RFID cards, bank cards, or mobile apps, giving a smoother customer experience. The Plug & Charge technology utilizes certificate-based authentication with encrypted communication, providing users with the market's most secure and tamper-proof charging sessions. Allego launches Plug & Charge across its extensive Fast and Ultra-fast European charging network today on June 9th, 2025. ARNHEM, Netherlands – June 9, 2025—Allego N.V. ('Allego' or the 'Company'), a leading provider of electric vehicle charging solutions, today launched Europe's first rollout of the world's safest and most secure Plug & Charge technology. This technology makes charging as simple as plugging in your car. Based on the open industry standard OCPP 2.0.1, Allego is the first operator worldwide to deliver a cross-network solution that provides seamless, secure, and reliable charging for all compatible electric vehicle models. 'Our mission is to make EV charging at Allego the most intuitive,' said Jean Gadrat, Chief Marketing Officer at Allego. 'By removing digital friction points, apps, and cards, we give drivers the confidence to travel further and charge more conveniently. Whether in the city, on the highway, or abroad, Plug & Charge delivers the same secure, one-step charging experience.' Plug & Charge is an ISO 15118-based authentication and payment method built by Allego on OCPP 2.0.1, the industry's most advanced charger-to-back-end protocol. It standardizes communication between any OCPP-compliant charger and network. Plug & Charge works seamlessly at any of Allego's 5000 Fast and Ultra-fast charge points and partner networks across Europe. The Plug & Charge technology creates a truly seamless driver experience. When a compatible EV is plugged in, the vehicle and charger automatically exchange encrypted digital certificates to identify the driver's account and initiate charging. No apps, RFID tokens, or manual interventions are required. Drivers have effortless access: after following your in-vehicle and app steps to enable your car for Plug & Charge, plug in, and your EV takes care of the rest. The charging session begins instantly without requiring any additional steps. Mutual Transport Layer Security (TLS) and certificate-based authentication guarantee that only authorized vehicles can charge, protecting drivers from billing errors or fraudulent access. 'This results in future-proof technology,' said Manuel Trotta, Head of Mobility Solutions at Allego. 'As new vehicle models and charging technologies emerge, OCPP 2.0.1 supports remote firmware updates, new features, and secure certificate management, ensuring your car always 'speaks the same language' as the charger.' This rollout was made possible through Allego's collaboration with industry leaders, including Alpitronic, Hubject, and Ford.

Allego™ Invests in Future Sales Leaders Through Collaboration with Babson College
Immersive 12-week internship blends real-world training, mentorship, and skill-building simulations to prepare students for careers in sales WALTHAM, Mass., April 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Demonstrating its commitment to education, mentorship, and innovation in the sales profession, Allego, Inc., the leader in AI-powered revenue enablement technology, today announced the successful completion of its inaugural sales internship program, developed in collaboration with Babson College, the #1 school for entrepreneurship education. The 12-week program offered students hands-on exposure to the art and science of sales development, blending real-time call shadowing, artificial intelligence (AI) simulations, and mentorship from Allego's high-performing revenue team. "It was incredibly rewarding to mentor the Babson interns and share the art and science behind successful sales," said David Ashe, Director of Sales Development at Allego. "Watching their curiosity evolve into confidence week after week reinforced the importance of programs like this—not just for the students, but for the future of the sales profession." Three Babson College seniors—Jolie Rojik, Jesus Alanis, and Jonathan Rosario—participated in the program, rotating weekly between live call observation and guided sales training. Designed to reflect the realities of today's modern sales environment, the curriculum covered DISC profile analysis, cold call framework, objection handling, and time management. Students also listened to live cold calls and engaged in skill-building simulations within the Allego platform to reinforce their learning. "The ability to expand my network with Babson alumni, many who are very successful in their sales careers and further learn about the culture and structure of their company has been an exhilarating and captivating experience," said Jesus Alanis, a senior at Babson College. "Overall, this was a great experience, one that allowed me to learn more about the dynamic of sales and the sales enablement industry." The program was part of a broader collaboration between Allego and Professor Vini Onyemah's Professional Sales Practicum at Babson College. In addition to the internship, Allego hosted a class visit, offering students an inside look at sales, marketing, and customer success in action. Several students expressed interest in pursuing full-time sales roles after graduation—an early sign of the program's long-term impact. "Experiential learning is the cornerstone of meaningful education," said Professor Onyemah. "Allego's internship program gave our students practical insight into the modern sales landscape while reinforcing key principles we cover in the classroom. The result was transformative for many of them, both personally and professionally." The program also inspired students to reframe how they view sales. Many arrived with preconceived notions of aggressive tactics, quotas, and cold calls, but left with a new appreciation for sales as a discipline rooted in consulting, problem-solving, and entrepreneurship. The success of the internship demonstrates more than just a productive collaboration—it highlights Allego's broader commitment to elevating the sales profession. By providing students with meaningful, real-world experience, Allego is helping redefine how the next generation views and enters the world of sales. "At Allego, we believe in building confident teams, and that includes the next generation of Professional Sellers," said Mark Magnacca, President and Co-Founder of Allego. "This program reflects our commitment to experiential learning, professional development, and equipping emerging talent with the tools they need to succeed. We plan to continue expanding our experiential learning initiatives and continuing to strengthen partnerships with academic institutions." This program is one of many ways Allego invests in emerging talent and deepens the connection between academia and industry—helping students develop the skills and confidence needed to thrive in today's sales landscape.
