Cariqa provides direct payments infrastructure for EV charging. Charge point operators use Cariqa to take direct commercial control of their network, setting their own prices, receiving payment directly, and making their direct prices available across connected platforms. Car manufacturers, mapping providers, navigation apps, and fleet platforms use Cariqa Connect to embed charging into their own products and earn on every transaction. Cariqa is the infrastructure for a charging market where operators control their pricing, platforms can offer charging as part of their own product, and drivers always pay a direct price.
