Cariqa offers a full‑stack payments and dynamic pricing platform designed specifically for EV charging, replacing fragmented apps, cards and legacy billing systems with a unified infrastructure layer. Its platform gives operators a single dashboard for real‑time control and delivers one clear price to drivers on every session. It integrates directly with existing systems and supports major charging workflows so operators can streamline without replacing their tech stack. Cariqa positions itself as Europe’s first end‑to‑end payment platform for EV charging networks and emphasizes removing intermediaries to reduce costs and increase transparency. The company is already trusted by major charge point operators including Pfalzwerke, EWE Go, Qwello, Q1 and Mer. Cariqa plans to use its new funding to expand across key European markets, grow its product and engineering teams, and onboard large operators, vehicle manufacturers and fleet providers. Cariqa offers a consumer-facing marketplace that directly connects electric vehicle (EV) drivers with charge point operators (CPOs) to deliver transparent pricing and easier access to charging. The platform launched in September 2024 and already partners with CPOs across Europe, providing access to over 420,000 charging stations in 30 European countries. Key features include optimal charge point discovery, EV routing, and the option to connect the EV for more detailed consumption models and alerts. Cariqa’s product aims to address low CPO utilization—reported as low as 3%—and the margin pressure CPOs face when selling energy through intermediaries. The company plans to use its recent funding to develop the marketplace further and initiate a broader rollout across Europe. CEO Issam Tidjani frames the mission as creating a fairer and more efficient charging market that boosts CPO utilization and delivers transparent prices to drivers.
