Hubject has entered into a strategic partnership with Exicom to leverage Hubject’s advanced interoperability technology to enhance the charging experience for EV drivers in India. This move is expected to greatly improve the convenience and reliability of EV charging across the country.
Exicom and Hubject will also focus on implementing Hubject’s Plug&Charge platform in India. This initiative will establish a regional hub designed to enable the adoption of industry-leading global technology in the Indian market, support for local charge point operators (CPOs) adhering to ISO15118 standards, and fully automate charging capabilities.
With this technology, EV drivers in India will be able to plug into compatible charging points and charge their vehicles instantly. This seamless process will be enabled by automatic EV-to-charging station authentication technology, eliminating the need for apps or RFID cards.
Christian Hahn, CEO of Hubject, stated “The EV market in India is seeing explosive growth. Last year, sales nearly doubled and this year they are expected to rise by 66%. This strategic partnership with Exicom and the introduction of Hubject’s intercharge platform aims to support this massive growth by making the charging experience easier and more reliable for EV drivers. This partnership is good news for Hubject, Exicom, and EV drivers in India, and it’s also a big step forward in our strategic aim of having Plug&Charge everywhere.”
Anant Nahata, CEO of Exicom, added “Addressing the challenges of reliability and seamless EV charging experience in the Indian market is crucial. The establishment of a central interoperability hub will further streamline payment settlements and reduce dependence on multiple wallets, ensuring a smoother experience for EV users nationwide.”
Hubject’s interoperability technology simplifies the charging process by allowing EV drivers to locate, access, and pay for charging services through their preferred interface, regardless of the operator. This removes the need for multiple memberships and payments, providing a smoother and more user-friendly experience.
