Couche-Tard and Circle K Network Passes 100,000 EV Roaming Sessions

Published on September 08, 2026 (Updated on September 08, 2026)

ChargeHub's roaming platform, Passport Hub, has now enabled more than 100,000 EV charging sessions on the Couche-Tard and Circle K network, the company announced. The rollout began in Canada in 2024 and later expanded to the United States.

What Is EV Roaming?

EV roaming lets drivers start and pay for a charge at a station outside their own provider's network, using the account they already have. Passport Hub connects charge point operators (CPOs) with e-mobility service providers (eMSPs): a single technical integration opens a network to every app already on the platform.

100,000 Roaming Sessions, Backed by Real Usage

Widely regarded as one of the largest convenience-store charging networks in North America and one of the most open to roaming, the Couche-Tard/Circle K network now connects to 13 eMSP partners through Passport Hub, with more on the way. That means Canadian and U.S. drivers can find those stations in real time and start a charge from dozens of apps, all billed to the account they already have.

The numbers back that up: more than 40% of charging sessions on the Couche-Tard/Circle K network in Canada now happen through Passport Hub roaming. That figure shows the network's scale turning into real use for drivers.

"At a time when the pace of electrification is often questioned, we're not talking about potential anymore; we're talking about 100,000 real charging sessions. It's proof that roaming turns a big network into one that actually gets used," said Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub.

A Network That Keeps Opening Up

Roaming on the Couche-Tard and Circle K network isn't limited to the 13 providers connected today. Every new eMSP connected to Passport Hub becomes an option the operator can choose to switch on at its stations — with no additional integration.

This partnership between two Canadian companies shows how local innovation can have an impact across North America.

FAQ

How does EV roaming work on the Couche-Tard and Circle K network?

The network is connected to Passport Hub, ChargeHub's roaming platform. That means a driver can find a Couche-Tard or Circle K station in real time in their own e-mobility provider's app, start the charge, and pay from that same account, no extra sign-up, no new app to download.

Which apps give access to Couche-Tard and Circle K charging stations?

Thirteen e-mobility providers connect to the Couche-Tard and Circle K network through Passport Hub in Canada and the U.S., with new partners added regularly. That means drivers can activate these stations from dozens of different charging apps.

What's the difference between roaming and an open charging network?

An open network accepts any driver, typically through direct payment. Roaming goes a step further: it links the network to drivers' existing accounts with other providers. Drivers keep their own app, pricing, and charging history and the operator gets more sessions without having to win new customers.

How can a charge point operator (CPO) make its network accessible for roaming?

An operator connects to Passport Hub through one technical integration and one commercial agreement, and its stations become available to every e-mobility provider on the platform, with no bilateral deal to negotiate. ChargeHub handles the data exchange, session authorization, and financial settlement between both parties.
