Hubject, a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging interoperability, has announced a new partnership with ChargeHub, a North American e-mobility roaming platform provider, to integrate their technologies and offer a streamlined Plug&Charge experience for EV drivers and service providers.
The collaboration links Hubject’s established Plug&Charge ecosystem with ChargeHub’s Passport Hub platform, enabling e-mobility service providers (eMSPs) to deliver a secure and fully automated charging process. The system is designed to simplify EV charging by eliminating the need for apps, cards, or RFID tokens, instead relying on vehicle-based authentication using ISO 15118-2 standards.
The companies described the result as “a complete end-to-end Plug&Charge experience,” offering not only seamless charging initiation but also a streamlined billing and financial settlement process across multiple networks.
“This new partnership brings together two key industry leaders who are committed to providing simplified solutions for Plug&Charge, one of the industry’s most complex challenges, but also one of the most important solutions to accelerating EV adoption in North America,” said Simon Ouellette, CEO at ChargeHub.
Hubject’s Plug&Charge infrastructure allows compatible EVs to initiate charging sessions automatically when connected to a certified station, improving user convenience and enhancing security. By integrating with ChargeHub’s Passport Hub, the companies aim to increase access to this functionality across charging networks in North America.
“The evolution of eMobility is built on the foundation of reliable and interoperable industry collaboration,” said Trishan Peruma, CEO at Hubject. “We’re excited to be bringing Hubject Plug&Charge to even more EV drivers’ across North America.”
The partnership is expected to accelerate the deployment of Plug&Charge services and bolster interoperability standards as the region’s EV charging infrastructure continues to grow.
