Powering the future of digital mobility
Mobility is becoming software. Users expect the same thing they get from modern digital products: clear pricing, instant access, reliable payments, and a single experience across providers.
For companies building ride-hailing, fleets, travel, or mobility-as-a-service, EV charging shouldn’t feel like an external workflow. It should feel like a native feature.
The problem: charging is fragmented
EV charging is still a patchwork:
- Different charge point operators (CPOs) with different authentication and payment flows
- Inconsistent data (availability, pricing, receipts)
- Slow integrations that make product teams compromise on experience
The result is friction: higher costs, more support tickets, and a user journey that breaks at the worst moment — when someone needs to charge.
The direction: developer-first infrastructure
Stripe made payments composable. Plaid made financial data connectable. The same shift is happening in mobility: the winning platforms will be the ones that make charging easy to integrate and predictable to operate.
Charge is built for that reality — a developer-first charging layer you can embed directly into your product.
What you can build with Charge
- In-app charging: start sessions, monitor progress, and finish cleanly without bouncing users to third-party apps
- Unified billing: consistent receipts and reporting, across networks
- Workflow automation: webhooks for session start/stop, failures, disputes, and refunds
- New monetization: pass-through pricing, margin, subscriptions, or bundled charging benefits
Why it matters
When charging is native, everything gets simpler:
- Users trust the experience (and come back)
- Ops teams get clearer visibility and fewer edge cases
- Product teams can iterate faster with fewer integrations to maintain
