Copenhagen, Denmark – May 2026 – Q8 Electric has selected Lumina to deploy its AI-powered decision layer across Q8 Electric's fast-charging infrastructure in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, marking a significant step in the evolution of EV charging operations at scale.
As EV charging networks continue to expand in size and complexity, operating critical charging infrastructure increasingly requires intelligent orchestration of thousands of interconnected assets, systems, and operational processes. Operating fast-charging infrastructure in 2026 is about using AI effectively to orchestrate operations across these large-scale systems.
Scaling operations beyond linear growth
A growing challenge for operators is that infrastructure scales faster than operational teams. As networks expand, maintaining complete operational awareness becomes increasingly difficult through manual processes alone. Critical issues can be overlooked, response times increase, and hidden problems may persist longer than necessary, impacting network performance and customer experience.
Every company operating assets faces the same operational constraint: teams scale linearly while networks grow exponentially. As complexity increases, maintaining full operational awareness manually becomes increasingly difficult. Critical issues are missed, manual workflows consume valuable time, and problems can remain hidden indefinitely.
Agentic decision layer across Benelux
To address these challenges, Q8 Electric will deploy Lumina's agentic decision layer across its charging operations in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The solution is designed to continuously monitor network conditions, prioritize issues based on operational impact, coordinate responses across multiple simultaneous failures, escalate decisions when required, automate routine actions, and learn from historical resolutions to improve performance over time.
The deployment will support Q8 Electric's efforts to deliver reliable, high-performing charging services across the Benelux region while creating a more scalable operating model for the future.
Statements
Nicholas Maes, Fast Charging Insights & Systems Coordinator at Q8, said:
"Working chargers and sessions that start without any friction. This is no longer a competitive edge, it is the bare minimum EV drivers expect from a fast charging network. That's why Q8 Electric is partnering with Lumina AI."
Sofus Laub Erdal, CEO at Lumina, commented:
"We are proud to support Q8 Electric on this journey and to be part of their future electrification efforts."
