Hubject

What Hubject does

Hubject GmbH, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Berlin, operates the world's largest international eRoaming platform for electric vehicle charging, branded as intercharge. The company's core product is a B2B interoperability platform that connects Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs) via the OICP (Open Intercharge Protocol) and OCPI standards, currently linking 1,100,000+ charge points, 3,500+ B2B partners, and 75+ countries through a single integration. Its second major product line is the Plug&Charge Ecosystem based on ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-20, which provides Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and certificate management that enables automatic, secure vehicle-to-charger authentication without apps or RFID cards, reaching 4,500,000+ Plug&Charge ready EVs globally and 1 million in North America alone as of February 2026.

Hubject monetizes primarily through recurring subscription and transaction fees from CPOs and eMSPs for platform connectivity, PKI/certificate management, and settlement services. It also runs intercharge CHECK (testing and certification for both software and hardware), a Premium Services support tier publicly priced at €5,500 per year offering priority SLAs and dedicated Service Delivery Managers, and a Consulting & Advisory practice serving cities, automotive OEMs, and charging providers on EV infrastructure planning. Hubject Financial Services GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is the first EV-related company to offer settlement, clearing, and payment services based on its own payment license, adding transaction-fee revenue on top of subscription streams. Distribution is enterprise-direct via field sales and partner onboarding portals, supplemented by technology integration partners (e.g., Spirii, Numocity) and regional hubs in Irvine (North America), Shanghai (China), and Singapore (Asia-Pacific).

The platform has progressively expanded beyond passenger EV charging into adjacent segments including V2G-capable solutions for electric school buses (ISO 15118-20), Megawatt Charging System support for electric long-haul trucks (via Windrose), VDV 261 preconditioning for electric bus fleets (via Vector Informatik), and consulting for cities and OEMs. Ownership is concentrated in seven founding corporate shareholders — BMW Group, Mercedes-Benz Group, Volkswagen Group, Siemens, EnBW, E.ON, and Enel X — providing strategic OEM and utility alignment but no disclosed private-equity or venture backing. The company is ISO 27001:2022 certified, GDPR compliant, and an active contributor to standards bodies including CharIN and the EVRoaming Foundation.

Direct peers

• Gireve: Gireve is a French B2B eRoaming platform founded by EDF, TotalEnergies, Renault, and Enedis. It is the closest direct peer to Hubject, both operating as neutral clearing/roaming intermediaries between CPOs and eMSPs in Europe, co-founding the EVRoaming Foundation.
• Plugsurfing: Plugsurfing (owned by Powerdot/EDP) is a pan-European eMSP that aggregates EV charging for drivers. While Hubject is its infrastructure partner, Plugsurfing competes for end-driver relationships and API access to charge points in the same ecosystem.
• Driivz: Driivz is an EV charging management platform (acquired by Vontier) serving CPOs and eMSPs with software, billing, and operations. Comparable to Hubject as a B2B software layer enabling eRoaming, OCPI integrations, and charger network management for enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is a leading global CPO and CPMS vendor participating in the EVRoaming Foundation. Comparable because it operates its own roaming/connectivity layer (ChargePoint Network) and competes for the same CPO/EMP integration services in North America and Europe.
• Shell Recharge Solutions (NewMotion): Shell Recharge (formerly NewMotion) is a Shell-owned eMSP and CPO platform with hubs across Europe. It is both a customer of Hubject's intercharge platform and a competing eMSP offering roaming services for drivers under its own brand.
• EVBox (Engie): EVBox is a global EV charging hardware and software company (now part of Engie) that supplies chargers, charge management software, and roaming services. Comparable as a broader EV charging solutions company whose software platform overlaps with Hubject's eRoaming and CPMS capabilities.

Emerging players

• Ampeco: Ampeco is a B2B EV charging management platform serving CPOs and eMSPs with OCPP/OCPI-native software. Comparable as a software-driven EV charging orchestration platform, though it competes more on direct CPMS functionality than on roaming interoperability.
• Spirii: Spirii is a Copenhagen-based EV charging platform that integrates Hubject's Plug&Charge technology into its Connect platform. Comparable as a CPMS/EMP partner and channel for Hubject technology; competes partly with Hubject in the OEM-facing software layer.
• Octopus Energy Electric Vehicles: Octopus Electric Vehicles operates the Octopus Electroverse eMSP that aggregates charging across many networks using OCPI. Comparable as a roaming aggregator / eMSP that, like Hubject, has joined the EVRoaming Foundation and competes for cross-network charging experiences.

Regional players

• Numocity: Numocity is an EV charging platform provider focused on India, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East that integrates Hubject's Plug&Charge technology. Comparable as an emerging CPMS/eMSP player serving regional markets where Hubject also expanded.
