Hubject, a provider of eMobility interoperable charging solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Electra, a European specialist in fast-charging solutions for electric vehicles. This collaboration aims to integrate Electra's expanding network of high-power charging stations with Hubject's intercharge eRoaming platform, thereby enabling Plug&Charge functionality via ISO 15118 standards. This development is set to improve charging accessibility and convenience across Europe.
Electra currently operates over 500 charging stations with more than 3,000 charging points across nine European countries. The company has plans to expand to 2,200 stations and 15,000 charging points by 2030. The integration with Hubject's network will significantly expand high-power charging options for drivers within the Hubject ecosystem.
The partnership will allow EV drivers to use Plug&Charge technology, which enables automatic authentication, authorization, and billing without the need for apps or payment cards.
Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject, expressed satisfaction in welcoming Electra to the intercharge network, emphasizing that the partnership aligns with Hubject's mission to provide convenient and reliable charging options. Aurélien de Meaux, CEO of Electra, highlighted the milestone as a significant contribution to seamless electric mobility in Europe, aiming to simplify and enhance the EV charging experience.
The partnership provides several benefits, including enhanced fast-charging availability with ultra-fast charging stations, a seamless Plug&Charge experience, simplified authentication across multiple charging networks, and expanded coverage in European markets. This collaboration supports both companies' goals of promoting EV adoption by reducing barriers to accessible and reliable charging infrastructure through advanced interoperability and automated charging experiences.
