Case Study: EnBW achieves high-availability, flexible e-mobility infrastructure with MongoDB Atlas

EnBW powers 2,500 fast-charging stations with MongoDB Atlas

EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, a major German energy company, faced the challenge of managing Germany's largest e-mobility fast charging grid. As the network grew, they required a database solution that could ensure high availability, scalability, and performance for both their infrastructure management and end-user access services. Their legacy systems lacked the flexibility and reliability needed for this critical, expanding infrastructure.

The vendor MongoDB provided its fully managed cloud database service, MongoDB Atlas, as the solution. By migrating both sides of their operation to Atlas, EnBW achieved significant improvements in flexibility, data access times, and operational speed. This allowed their teams to focus on development rather than database maintenance. The results include EnBW being repeatedly named Germany's best electric mobility provider and charging infrastructure operator, which MongoDB enables by ensuring a reliably available and high-performing network for customers.
