Stronger Together: eRound & Cariqa – Empowering Charge Point Operators with Full Control

We’re excited to announce the collaboration between eRound and Cariqa – a partnership designed to put charge point operators (CPOs) at the center. Together, we’re combining our strengths to make electric mobility more efficient, transparent, and sustainable.

Why eRound and Cariqa are the Perfect Match

eRound, the smart charge point management solution from Hamburger Energienetze, provides CPOs with all the tools they need to seamlessly manage their infrastructure. Cariqa, as a direct-payment marketplace, empowers CPOs to set their own charging prices similar to ad-hoc,  while benefiting from roaming reach. Through our partnership, CPOs can set their energy prices on the Cariqa marketplace and offer them directly to EV drivers. Cariqa is not an EMP but a platform that connects charge point operators and EV drivers directly  in a fair and transparent way.

What Sets eRound and Cariqa Apart

eRound:

• Built for CPOs: As part of Hamburger Energienetze and a former CPO itself, eRound understands the challenges charge point operators face.
• Efficient Management: Seamlessly handle your charging infrastructure.
• Reliable & Stable: As a public entity, eRound operates with a long-term perspective beyond just profit.

Cariqa:

• Full Pricing Control: CPOs set their own prices on the Cariqa marketplace, with the option for dynamic or AI-powered pricing.
• Direct Customer Relationship: EV drivers purchase charging directly from the CPO – no middlemen like traditional EMPs that add a margin to energy prices.
• Faster Payouts: Funds are paid out as quickly as 72 hours after a charging session, with centralized invoicing to streamline operations.
