ChargeLab Simplifies Charging with Hubject’s Plug&Charge Ecosystem

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, September 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ChargeLab, a premier EV charging hardware-agnostic software platform, and Hubject, a global eMobility solutions leader, today announced a strategic partnership to enhance the charging experience for EV drivers. Through the integration of ISO 15118-2 standards and Hubject's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), the collaboration empowers Charge Point Operators (CPOs), eMobility Service Providers (EMSPs), and EV manufacturers across North America to deliver seamless and secure charging solutions. By expanding vehicle-based authentication to select roaming partners, ChargeLab and Hubject are creating a more convenient and accessible charging ecosystem through Hubject's extensive global Plug&Charge ecosystem.

Vehicle-based authentication streamlines the EV charging process by eliminating the need for app-based or card-based initiation. Hubject's Plug&Charge ecosystem, built on the public ISO 15118-2 standard, automates authentication by enabling secure communication between electric vehicles and charging stations. This technology simplifies the charging experience and enables safety for all parties involved in the process.

“ChargeLab is emerging as a major player in the OCPP software space, providing their platform to well-known North American brands” said Trishan Peruma, CEO of Hubject North America. “This partnership brings a seamless and secure charging experience to a growing number of charging stations and North American EV drivers.”

Leveraging the ISO 15118 standard and a robust network of partners, ChargeLab offers state-of-the-art charging infrastructure that meets the rigorous NEVI program requirements. The NEVI Program ensures interoperability, data reliability, and an exceptional user experience while complying with all program criteria, including charging experience, uptime, reporting, and cybersecurity.

Ehsan Mokhtari, CTO of ChargeLab, highlighted the technical advancements, stating, "The integration with Hubject's PKI not only fortifies the security framework essential for modern EV charging systems but also sets a new standard for interoperability within the industry. Our collaborative effort is poised to reshape the future of eMobility across the continent."

Cedric Shui, Chief Architect at ChargeLab, added, "This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to simplify the EV charging experience.
