Hubject connects eleven energy suppliers to create the largest Austrian charging network for EVs

Green Car Congress

The charging stations will also be connected with Hubject’s international charging network “intercharge”. This will digitally link more than 1,300 charge points (2,000 by the end of 2017) available in Austria in real-time. In this case, the charging process is started easily using a smartphone app or a charging card (RFID card).
