EV Roaming Hub

Streamline EV Roaming While Scaling Effortlessly

With one integration, Passport Hub bridges protocols, manages commercial and financial flows while supporting all charging methods including app, RFID, and Plug and Charge. The result is full control for your teams and simpler operations at every level.

Why is EV Roaming Essential?

Using an EV roaming hub like Passport Hub streamlines connections between eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs) and Charge Point Operators (CPOs). This strategy enables a scalable ecosystem for all stakeholders in the industry without adding complexity: only one integration is needed to connect with all participating players.

The Backbone of Seamless EV Roaming

Passport Hub provides the structure that keeps roaming predictable and scalable. It translates protocols in real time, synchronizes session data, and manages commercial and financial flows so every transaction works across diverse systems.

A single baseline agreement streamlines the legal and administrative side, replacing multiple contracts with one clear framework. You stay in control by choosing new connections and keeping your existing partnerships.

This blend of technical reliability, simplified governance, and partner flexibility is what makes Passport Hub the true backbone of seamless EV roaming.

The Four Pillars of EV Roaming

EV roaming connects eMSPs and CPOs so drivers can find, activate, and pay for charging with their preferred method. To function seamlessly, roaming requires alignment across four distinct pillars: technical, commercial, legal, and financial.

1_striking_blue

Technical


Roaming enables an eMSP to receive charge point details and send session commands to a CPO's backend through APIs, most often using the OCPI protocol.

2_striking_blue

Commercial


Commercial agreements define terms such as pricing, commissions, revenue sharing, invoicing, and settlement between the eMSP, the CPO and the Hub.

3_striking_blue

Legal


Legal framework establish contractual obligations, covering SLAs, liability, dispute resolution, data privacy, and access rules to ensure trust between parties.

4_striking_blue

Financial


Financial reconciliation ensures that eMSPs pay CPOs for charging sessions completed by their users, closing the loop with accurate and transparent settlements.

One integration, four pillars, zero complexity.

Passport Hub simplifies every layer of EV roaming so you can focus on growth.
