Hubject, a provider of eMobility interoperable charging solutions, has unveiled a strategic collaboration expansion with Europe’s eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs), Chargemap.

This partnership builds on the eRoaming deal established by the companies in 2018.

It will see the implementation of Hubject’s ISO 15118-based Plug&Charge technology throughout the ecosystem of Chargemap, aiming to improve the charging experience for electric vehicle (EV) drivers across Europe.

It is set to bring Plug&Charge capabilities to more than 600,000 users of Chargemap Pass, while also maintaining the benefits of the current eRoaming integration that connects Chargemap to Hubject’s intercharge network.

The collaboration will integrate Plug&Charge technology, enabling automatic vehicle authentication and charging at supported stations, eliminating the need for apps or radio frequency identification (RFID) cards.

Chargemap Pass holders will continue to benefit from access to a network of 209,000 charging points across 20 nations, Hubject said.

Looking ahead, Chargemap plans to introduce “enhanced features” for corporate fleet managers leveraging Chargemap Business and facilitate charging across various networks.

The implementation process will see Chargemap adopting the ISO 15118 standard and integrating with Hubject’s Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to ensure secure communication between vehicles and charging stations.

The companies will collaborate with Charge point operators (CPOs) to broaden Plug&Charge capabilities throughout Europe’s charging infrastructure.

The rollout of these features is expected to commence in the coming months, with initial functionalities being made available to users later in 2025.

Hubject CEO Christian Hahn said: “This expanded collaboration with Chargemap marks a significant milestone in our ongoing partnership to simplify EV charging experiences across Europe. By enhancing our established eRoaming integration with advanced Plug&Charge technology, we’re establishing a new benchmark for convenience in eMobility.

“This technological advancement directly addresses the critical need for seamless charging experiences that will accelerate mass EV adoption throughout the European market, where Chargemap has developed a strong presence as a leading eMobility Service Provider.”

Last year, Hubject entered a strategic collaboration with India’s largest EV charger manufacturer, Exicom.
