Image: HubjectRoad was founded in 2017 to provide a manufacturer-independent solution for managing charging infrastructure. Since then, the company has developed a modular software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that enables charge point operators and e-mobility service providers to offer a brand-specific charging experience. Road also handles the full processing of charging transactions. Among its competitors are, for example, Ampeco and Driivz.Through the new partnership with Hubject and its Intercharge roaming platform, Road aims to make the more than 100,000 public charge points managed through its platform accessible to all Intercharge partners in the medium term. At the same time, Road’s customers will gain immediate access to the Intercharge network, which comprises more than 1.1 million charge points. According to the companies, the collaboration is intended to create benefits that extend beyond the individual businesses involved.“Road’s presence across Benelux and Germany makes this a meaningful addition to the intercharge network. As a platform serving a broad base of CPOs and eMSPs in markets where interoperability is already well established, their connection to intercharge extends value for every partner already on the network,” said Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject.“At Road, we focus on enabling seamless EV charging transactions, with roaming as a key component,” said Gina ter Heide, Chief Product Officer at Road. “By joining Hubject, we expand the reach of our eMSP partners and contribute to a more connected and accessible charging ecosystem for drivers.”Berlin-based Hubject is one of the leading roaming providers in the electric mobility sector. The company’s platform connects more than 3,500 B2B partners across over 75 countries and provides access to more than 1.1 million charge points, many of which support Plug&Charge functionality. Hubject operates as a joint venture owned by eight shareholders from the automotive, energy and technology sectors. These include the carmakers BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, energy companies EnBW, Enel X and E.ON, as well as technology groups Bosch and Siemens.hubject.com
