TOKA

What TOKA does

TOKA is Ukraine's first and largest national public electric vehicle charging network operator, founded in 2014 and headquartered in Kyiv. The company operates 2,000+ charging ports across 300+ partner locations nationwide, serving 200,000+ customers with 5,000+ daily charging sessions, and holds the leading position in 80+ kW fast charging as of 2023. It generates revenue across five streams: per-kWh public charging sessions, hardware sales via the toka.energy e-commerce store (TOKA-branded AC stations plus exclusive distribution of KOSTAD, Schneider Electric, SinoEnergy, and ND EVC equipment), installation and turnkey services, franchise and partnership programs where hosts deploy TOKA-branded stations, and exclusive distribution of premium European charging lines.

The technical stack centers on the OCPP 1.6 protocol for charger interoperability, a proprietary billing system launched in 2016, the TOKA NETWORK mobile application (iOS/Android) with RFID and ISO 15118 Plug & Charge support, and the Smart Grid Solutions product co-developed with Octa Energy for dynamic load balancing in multi-apartment buildings. Differentiated technology features include a world-first GB/T connector integration into KOSTAD SIEMENS stations supporting Chinese EVs, OCPP-based integration with Google Maps/Waze/Apple Maps for navigation, and Fishka loyalty program integration unique among Ukrainian charging networks.

The go-to-market combines product-led growth via the self-serve mobile app, direct-to-consumer hardware e-commerce, and a multi-channel B2B partner model anchored by flagship fuel station partnerships with OKKO (since 2019, with repeated capital investment) and WOG (since 2024), plus commercial real estate (shopping malls, hotels, restaurants), residential building cooperatives (ОСББ/ЖЕК), and franchise operators. The company is privately held, Ukrainian-domiciled, with disclosed funding limited to an EBRD grant (2018) and the OKKO corporate investment (2025).

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• IONITY: European high-power charging (HPC) network joint venture of major automakers. Comparable on the fast-charging hub model with high-traffic location partnerships; potential competitor if IONITY expands into Ukraine or neighboring markets.
• ChargePoint: Large global EV charging network operator with hardware, software, and services comparable to TOKA's integrated business model. Much larger scale and global footprint; relevant benchmark for unit economics and network expansion strategy.
• Fastned: European fast-charging network operator building fast-charging stations along highways. Comparable fast-charging hub business model and partnership approach; useful for benchmarking hub economics and premium site selection.
• EVgo: US public EV charging network operator focusing on DC fast charging. Comparable business model as a charging network operator with proprietary software and partner relationships; useful for benchmarking fast-charging unit economics.
• Allego: European public EV charging network operator with pan-European footprint. Comparable as a network operator with similar focus on fast-charging hubs and partners in retail/fuel locations; relevant for European expansion benchmarks.

Others

• Schneider Electric: French multinational and TOKA's key partner in Ukraine. EVlink charging hardware is distributed by TOKA. As a complementary relationship, Schneider is a supplier partner but also a potential threat if it shifts to direct sales in Ukraine.
• KOSTAD: Austrian DC fast charger manufacturer and TOKA's exclusive Ukrainian distribution partner. Relevant as a hardware supplier partner; potential concern if KOSTAD moves to direct presence in Ukraine, competing with TOKA's distribution business.
• Hubject: European EV charging roaming platform enabling interoperability across networks. Comparable to TOKA's OCPP 1.6 and roaming capabilities; relevant as a potential partner or competitor for cross-network charging services.

Direct peers

• YASNO: Ukrainian energy supply company that has built a notable EV charging network in Ukraine. Directly competes with TOKA in the same Ukrainian market for charging infrastructure deployment and partnerships, though with a different energy company ownership structure.
• Virta: Finnish EV charging software and network management company with a comparable business model combining EV charging SaaS, network operations, and hardware distribution. Closely comparable to TOKA's combination of network operations, proprietary billing, and charging management software.
