Hubject enters the US market
Hubject, the globally recognised company in electric vehicle (EV) interoperability, officially launched its U.S. operations from the company's new U.S. headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif. Founded in 2012 to enable seamless charging for customers through an open and neutral business-to-business platform, Hubject, was quickly embraced in Europe and is now bringing their solution to the U.S. to support the country's rapidly growing EV market.
"After the success we've had with our 300 partners in Europe and Japan, launching in the United States was the next logical step as EV sales continue to rise," said Paul Glenney, North American CEO of Hubject. "We're eager to help accelerate the global transition to e-mobility with our innovative software that provides a neutral system for EV charging companies to work together and provide seamless charging for drivers."
Hubject may be new to the U.S. but it has become the most widely adopted and proven interoperability platform on four continents and 26 countries. It works by offering its corporate partners an B2B IT platform, called intercharge, that allows charging operators and service providers to easily implement interoperability between one another with one central contract and one API interface.
For consumers, Hubject's eRoaming platform allows EV drivers to easily find, access and pay for charging stations from various charging networks with one account, one card, one app and one bill. Hubject currently facilitates interconnection between 300 different charging networks, automakers and utilities partners allowing seamless access to over 70,000 charge ports.
The Hubject U.S. team will be based out of the company's new headquarters in Santa Monica, chosen for its location in leading the U.S. market for EV and clean energy initiatives. As recently as May 31, the California Public Utilities Commission approved a $738 million budget for transportation electrification projects. Additionally, the location is near many Hubject business partners and future customers.
"Hubject is now well-positioned to usher in the next big EV-related technology for North American drivers," said Glenney. "This year will be a critical one for infrastructure development in the United States and our Santa Monica HQ ensures we'll have high-level involvement."
