Cariqa & CITYWATT join forces

We’re thrilled to welcome CITYWATT to Cariqa! Their network of 3,000 charging points, 2,600 of which are public, is now live on Cariqa, giving drivers access to seamless charging across Germany and Austria.

Who is CITYWATT?

According to the latest CPO Report 2025, CITYWATT ranks among the top three charge point operators in Germany and operates more than 50 high-power charging parks nationwide. With a rapidly growing network, CITYWATT combines scale and convenience to enable efficient, transparent and customer-centric charging.

Why this matters

Opaque pricing, unpredictable prices and costs, and fragmented systems remain some of the biggest challenges in the EV charging market. This partnership signals a clear shift towards greater transparency and highlights the importance of direct relationships between CPOs and drivers.

“Our mission is to shape the future of e-mobility through simple, sustainable and customer-focused solutions. By partnering with Cariqa, drivers benefit from transparent and reliable prices set directly by us, alongside a charging experience they can trust. With our network integrated into Cariqa, drivers can find our fast chargers more easily, plan their routes more effectively and enjoy seamless access to high-quality, fast charging.” - Harald Praml, Founder and Managing Director, CITYWATT

Drivers benefit from easy access to CITYWATT’s rapid-charging network, with transparent, real-time pricing, enabling them to make informed decisions and charge with greater confidence.

For CITYWATT

CITYWATT gains full control over pricing, brand visibility and the entire customer journey, laying the foundation for continuous innovation and improvement across the charging experience.

It’s partnerships like this that drive our mission forward: building a unified, open and transparent EV charging industry centred on fairness, clarity and driver empowerment.

What this partnership includes:

• Key features enabled: Cariqa Console, Cariqa Connect and Cariqa Drive
• Rollout scope: Available at all public CITYWATT charging stations

“For CITYWATT, the focus is on building a closer relationship with EV drivers. By working with Cariqa, CITYWATT can flexibly test pricing, promotions and tailored offers to drive utilisation at specific locations. Understanding price elasticity and the impact of different incentives is a key part of this strategy. Cariqa enables direct access to users and empowers CITYWATT to actively manage its network using real-time data.” - Tamara, CCO and Co-Founder, Cariqa

What’s next?

With every new partner, the industry takes another step towards something better: a charging ecosystem where drivers know exactly what to expect, and CPOs stay in control.

We couldn’t be more excited to have CITYWATT join us on that journey.
