We're here to bring direct payments to EV charging

We started Cariqa with a simple assumption: build a straightforward API, connect to every charge point operator, focus on a great user experience, and earn a commission for bringing them customers.

That's how most marketplace industries work, but what we found instead was far more complicated.

Bilateral contracts that took months to negotiate, markups stacked on top of markups, and settlement delays measured in months. Operators had built the infrastructure, but couldn't see who their own customers were, or control what they were charged.

So we built the alternative.

Who we are

We're a team of product, mobility, and payments specialists, building the direct payments infrastructure for EV charging.

What we are

Cariqa is direct payment infrastructure for EV charging. Operators set the price, drivers pay it, and payments settle straight to the operator, with no markup added along the way.

Cariqa is built into the routing apps, OEM interfaces, and retail platforms drivers already use, so wherever a driver charges, the price they see is the operator's own.

Where we’re going

Our goal is for Cariqa to become invisible: embedded in the apps, platforms, and vehicles people already use, so paying for a charge works seamlessly at the price the operator actually set.

Cariqa Connect is proof of that model working at scale.
