Autostrom Plus is live on Cariqa

Autostrom Plus, a high-power charge point operator (CPO) in Lower-Saxony, is now live on the Cariqa! The integration gives Autostrom Plus real-time commercial control and a single view of performance across its 49 sites.

Who is Autostrom Plus?

Autostrom Plus GmbH is a joint venture of leading German companies that combines expertise in energy, infrastructure, and project management. The company, founded in 2024, is developing and operating a nationwide fast-charging network along German motorways, with the aim of advancing everyday electric mobility through reliable, high-performance charging infrastructure. By the end of 2026 Autostrom plus intends to operate a total of 482 charging points on 99 sites. 

Why this matters

As high-power charging continues to expand across Germany, operators need tools that give them direct control over pricing, presentation, and the day-to-day performance of their networks.

By joining Cariqa, Autostrom Plus gains direct control over its pricing and presentation, a direct sales channel to EV drivers, and a clear feedback loop between themselves and those using their network. That gives Autostrom Plus more influence over how its charging offer is positioned, discovered, and optimised over time.

“Commercial control is not just about setting prices, it’s about shaping how the network is positioned, how drivers engage with it, and how operators respond to demand. Cariqa gives us the tools and direct driver channel to do that. We’re particularly excited by the opportunities AI-based pricing creates to improve station utilisation and make charging prices clearer, more flexible, and better aligned with how drivers use our sites.”  - Sebastian Herkenhoff, COO, Autostrom Plus

For Cariqa, the partnership brings another major high-power operator onto our unified infrastructure layer - another step towards an ecosystem where CPO decide their own pricing and presentation, and drivers see consistent prices across every channel.

“We’re excited to welcome Autostrom Plus to Cariqa as we continue building a more direct model for EV charging payments. By connecting CPOs and charging demand directly, we’re supporting a market where CPOs stay in control of their commercial strategy, drivers pay one fair price, and unnecessary markups are removed from the value chain.” - Issam Tidjani, CEO, Cariqa
