What Electromaps does

Electromaps is a Barcelona-headquartered EV charging platform that provides a unified interface for electric vehicle drivers to locate, activate, and pay for charging sessions across fragmented public charging networks. Founded in 2009 by Xavier Cañadell and Jordi Rodriguez, the company operates the Electromaps mobile application on iOS and Android, an RFID-based contactless keytag product called Electropass, and the Electromaps Manager SaaS backend for Charge Point Operators (CPOs). The platform aggregates 522,864+ public charging points across approximately 35 actively operating countries, with database coverage extending to 168 countries and 56,939 cities, supplemented by real-time status from connected stations and crowdsourced reviews, photos, and status reports.

The company's technology stack combines multi-network roaming integration (connecting chargers from different manufacturers and operators into a single access point and payment flow), real-time station status feeds, RFID activation hardware, and community-driven content moderation. Revenue mechanics span three streams: transaction fees on charging sessions activated through the app (with markups added on third-party activated stations), recurring SaaS subscriptions from Electromaps Manager sold to CPOs, and hardware sales through the Electromaps webshop (Electropass RFID tags, Type 2 and Schuko charging cables, and accessories). Customer segments split between individual EV drivers served via a freemium model and B2B buyers including electric fleet operators, hospitality venues, municipalities/utilities, and installation professionals acquired through direct enterprise sales.

Electromaps is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wallbox N.V. (NYSE: WBX), which acquired the company in 2020; the Wallbox corporate brand appears alongside Electromaps on the company website and career links route through Wallbox's Workable portal. Go-to-market is hybrid: product-led growth through app stores for consumers, community-led content contributions for data scale, and direct field sales for B2B deployments. The company employs approximately 30 people. Portugal is excluded from activation services due to closed network operators. Wallbox's April 2026 financial restructuring (€169.6 million plan with 83% creditor participation) introduces parent-level uncertainty affecting Electromaps' capital allocation, though it pertains to Wallbox's debt rather than Electromaps' operations directly.

Direct peers

• Hubject: Germany-based B2B e-roaming platform that interconnects EV charging networks globally via the intercharge network. Directly comparable to Electromaps' multi-network roaming and CPO management capabilities, with a stronger B2B enterprise focus.
• Open Charge Map: Open-source, community-driven global EV charging point database with API access. Competes directly with Electromaps on the data/information layer, though lacks the activation, payment, and SaaS management features of Electromaps Manager.
• PlugShare: Largest community-driven EV charging map in North America with a mobile app for finding, reviewing, and activating public chargers. Closest direct competitor to Electromaps' consumer mapping and community model, though primarily focused on the US market.

Broad incumbents

• ChargePoint: Publicly-traded (NYSE: CHPT) major EV charging network operator with its own consumer app for locating, activating, and paying at its branded stations plus a SaaS platform for station owners. Broader incumbent that competes on both consumer activation and CPO software.
• Tesla Supercharger: Tesla's proprietary charging network with its own in-vehicle and mobile app integration. While not directly targeting non-Tesla drivers historically, Magic Dock-enabled Superchargers and broader NACS adoption position it as a broader incumbent in the EV charging ecosystem.
• Shell Recharge (formerly NewMotion / Greenlots): Shell's EV charging solutions arm combining acquired NewMotion (Europe) and Greenlots (US) assets. Offers charging networks, roaming services, and business solutions — comparable as a broader incumbent in EV charging access and management.
• EVgo: US-focused public fast-charging network operator (NYSE: EVGO) with its own consumer app and roaming partnerships. Larger-scale incumbent with deep charging infrastructure, competing for both drivers and CPO partnerships.
• Google Maps: Google Maps has integrated EV charging station discovery, real-time availability, and trip planning into its mainstream mapping app. As a default-installed app on most smartphones, it represents the biggest competitive threat to dedicated EV charging map platforms.

Regional players

• Zap-Map: UK-focused EV charging map and community app with strong regional penetration and pay-to-use subscription model. Comparable to Electromaps in product offering but geographically concentrated in the UK rather than pan-European.

Emerging players

• A Better Routeplanner (ABRP): EV-specific route planning app that optimizes long-distance trips considering charging stops, vehicle consumption, and real-time station availability. Adjacent/emerging competitor focused on planning rather than activation, but increasingly overlapping in driver workflow.
