Hyfer

What Hyfer does

Hyfer is a Norway-based mobility-technology company that provides a unified API for EV charging payments and authentication. Founded in 2025 as HYFER AS and headquartered in Asker, the company targets Charge Point Operators (CPOs), Electric Vehicle OEMs, and payment providers, aiming to replace fragmented charging apps and closed roaming arrangements with a single integration layer. The platform leverages ISO 15118 — the standard governing Plug & Charge communication — together with open payment standards to enable automatic vehicle-to-charger authentication and interoperable payment processing across networks.

Hyfer's core product is the Hyfer API, a single interface that connects EV drivers, chargers, and payment systems. Its technical differentiators include ISO 15118 compliance, support for any payment method, cross-network roaming, and the elimination of bespoke payment infrastructure for operators. The company operates a horizontal, API-first go-to-market, onboarding enterprise customers directly rather than publishing pricing or offering self-serve onboarding.

Hyfer's revenue model is described as transaction-based, with the platform taking a fee per processed charging payment, though pricing and unit economics are not publicly disclosed. Strategic backers visible on the company's website include Mastercard and DEFA, suggesting payment-rail and Nordic-CPO validation. The company's stated 2030 ambition is to power 45% of Plug & Charge payments across Europe and North America, an aspirational rather than current benchmark.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Charge Point Operators (CPOs)coreTechnology or IntegrationCharge Point Operators partner with Hyfer to enable seamless payment processing and authentication across their charging networks. Hyfer provides the API infrastructure connecting CPO charging stations to drivers and payment systems without requiring costly proprietary payment infrastructure.
• Electric Vehicle OEMscoreTechnology or IntegrationEV manufacturers integrate Hyfer's platform to enable plug-and-charge capabilities in their vehicles. This allows automatic authentication and payment processing when customers connect to any compatible charging station in the Hyfer network.
• Payment ProviderscoreTechnology or IntegrationHyfer partners with payment providers to enable drivers to use any payment method when charging. The platform leverages open payment standards to integrate with multiple payment providers, eliminating the need for drivers to use specific apps or payment methods.

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Enode: Enode provides APIs that connect EVs, chargers, and energy assets to energy platforms, including plug-and-charge and smart charging orchestration. It overlaps with Hyfer's API-first, OEM-and-EV-asset integration focus, though Enode is broader across energy management.
• GreenCom Networks: GreenCom Networks provides an energy data and smart charging API platform for utilities, CPOs, and OEMs, with a focus on interoperability and V2G enablement. It is an emerging peer in the same API-based interoperability space as Hyfer, particularly around smart charging and standards integration.

Direct peers

• Gireve: Gireve is a French B2B platform enabling EV charging roaming and inter-network payment, connecting CPOs and mobility service providers via open protocols including OCPI. It directly competes with Hyfer in Europe as a neutral interoperability layer for charging authentication and billing.
• Hubject: Hubject is the leading B2B eRoaming platform connecting CPOs, OEMs, and EMSPs across 60+ countries. It is the most direct competitor to Hyfer, offering interoperable authentication and payment between EVs and chargers via ISO 15118 and OCPI, and is the incumbent Hyfer must displace or co-exist with.

Broad incumbents

• Wallbox Chargers: Wallbox is a global EV charging hardware manufacturer with its own software platform (myWallbox) supporting OCPP-based network integration and Plug & Charge. It overlaps with Hyfer where OEMs and CPOs integrate vehicles with chargers, though Wallbox is a hardware-led incumbent.
• AMPECO: AMPECO is an EV charging management platform used by CPOs for billing, roaming, and OCPI-based interoperability. It is an incumbent provider of much of the payment and roaming functionality Hyfer is trying to abstract into a single API.
• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is the largest independent EV charging network in North America and Europe, offering its own payment, roaming, and authentication stack. While primarily a hardware and network operator, it competes with Hyfer on the CPO-and-OEM integration surface.
• Driivz: Driivz is an established EV charging management platform serving global CPOs with billing, roaming, and energy management software. It is a broader incumbent that includes payment and roaming capabilities that overlap with Hyfer's CPO-focused interoperability stack.

Regional players

• Plugsurfing: Plugsurfing operates one of Europe's largest EV charging roaming networks and an EMSP app connecting drivers to 500,000+ chargers across Europe. It is a Europe-centric platform comparable to Hyfer in solving fragmented payments, though it owns the end-customer app side rather than being infrastructure-only.

Others

• Tesla Supercharger (Plug & Charge): Tesla operates its own closed Plug & Charge network using ISO 15118 between its vehicles and Superchargers. While not a directly overlapping commercial model, it represents the in-house alternative to a neutral interoperability platform and shapes OEM and CPO expectations for plug-and-charge UX.
