Our mission is to make EV charging seamless, efficient and accessible
Jakob Kleihues, CEO and co-founder of ENAPI
ENAPI aims to unify and commercialize connectivity in the EV charging ecosystem. The platform has already established itself as a trusted partner for charge point operators and eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs) by seamlessly enabling the exchange of transaction data for charging sessions. This overcomes a complex, inefficient and non-scalable infrastructure that has previously hampered the charging experience for EV drivers.
Rapid growth and increasing demand
ENAPI has connected more than 350,000 charging points in less than six months and has established partnerships with eight of the ten largest eMSPs in Europe. The increasing demand for a more efficient solution for data exchange and standardization of the charging infrastructure underlines the company's growth potential. According to a McKinsey study, 70% of e-car owners are dissatisfied with the existing charging infrastructure - a problem that ENAPI specifically addresses with its solution.
