What does Hubject mean?

Updated March 2026

Explanation

Hubject operates the intercharge platform, which is the largest eRoaming network globally. It connects charge point operators (CPOs) with e-mobility service providers (eMSPs), enabling drivers to use a single card or app across hundreds of different charging networks in dozens of countries.

As a driver, you probably use Hubject without knowing it. When your charging card works at a station operated by a different company, Hubject's platform is likely handling the communication and billing in the background. The charger might show a Hubject or intercharge logo, but often it is completely invisible to you.

Hubject was founded by BMW, Bosch, Daimler, EnBW, innogy, and Siemens. It has grown to connect over 550,000 charge points across more than 60 countries. It also provides the Plug & Charge ecosystem, managing the digital certificates that enable ISO 15118 Plug & Charge across multiple networks.

This standard is maintained by Hubject.

Common confusion

Some drivers think Hubject is a charging network. It is not. Hubject is the invisible platform that connects networks. You cannot sign up for a Hubject account or use a Hubject card directly.
