eMabler is an API-first EV charging management platform for energy companies, parking operators, and retailers, built on an open, modular architecture that connects charging infrastructure with existing digital services, energy systems, and payments in one unified layer, so operators can run EV charging as a core part of their business rather than a side project. The platform enables operators to launch and operate EV charging with enterprise-grade reliability, integrating it into the systems and revenue streams that already drive their business. eMabler supports full regulatory compliance, including ISO 27001, AFIR and Plug & Charge, and provides access to an ecosystem with more than 300 integrations for CPMS, CRM, billing, roaming, payment and VPP services.​ Built for scale, eMabler currently supports over 85,000 active charge points, with more than one million successful charging sessions every month and 99.999% uptime.​ Trusted by enterprise clients across 11 countries, eMabler gives companies complete control over their technology, data, and customer experience. And EV drivers get a charger that works every time they need it.

Project Lead & Head of Venture Building dragonize (a.i.)
Feb 2025
dragonize steht für die nächste Generation der Ladeinfrastruktur im Schwerlastverkehr. Wir machen eTruck-Laden zuverlässig, wirtschaftlich und planbar – konsequent aus der Perspektive von Logistikern gedacht. Die Herausforderung ist klar: Öffentliches Laden ist für eTrucks oft zu teuer, unzuverlässig und nicht auf die realen Anforderungen der Branche ausgelegt. Gleichzeitig stammen viele verfügbare Systeme aus dem ePKW-Bereich und sind nur bedingt für den Schwerlastverkehr geeignet. Hinzu kommt: Planung, Bau, Betrieb und Abrechnung von Ladeinfrastruktur sind komplex, intransparent und schwer vergleichbar. Mit unserem Depotladenetz bieten wir eine unabhängige Branchenlösung, bei der Logistiker die Kontrolle behalten. Statt fragmentierter Einzellösungen schaffen wir ein integriertes, schlüsselfertiges System - fair bepreist und konsequent auf den Alltag der Logistiker ausgerichtet. Unser Ansatz: Alles aus einer Hand. Von der ersten Planung über den Bau bis zum operativen Betrieb begleiten wir unsere Partner durch die gesamte Wertschöpfungskette. Gemeinsam mit einem Netzwerk aus erfahrenen Logistik- und E-Mobility-Experten sorgen wir dafür, dass alle Komponenten perfekt zusammenspielen. dragonize ermöglicht den Zugang zu eTruck-ready Ladeparks innerhalb eines starken Depotladenetzwerks. Über ein zentrales Mitgliederportal bündeln wir Transparenz, Daten und Partner. Unsere Betriebsplattform integriert Ladeplanung, Reservierung, Routing und Betrieb in einem System. Ergänzt wird dies durch 24/7 Monitoring, Service und KI-basierte Frühwarnsysteme für maximale Verfügbarkeit. Was uns besonders macht: Wir sind die erste Plattform, die vollständig auf die Anforderungen der Logistik zugeschnitten ist - initiiert von TST Logistics und getragen von echter Praxiserfahrung. Mit dragonize entsteht echte Logistik-Power für eTrucks.
