Two Worlds, One Login
Where is login used?
The same sign-in methods – in the driver app and optionally in QR-code payment.
Mobile App (Driver / End Customer)
The primary login experience is in our mobile app. Users sign in to view charging stations, start charging sessions, and manage their usage.

QR-code payment is normally an ad-hoc process for unregistered users. We additionally offer the option to register directly in the payment flow – using the same login methods.
- Optional registration directly in the ad-hoc flow
- View invoice history & past payments
- One login across app & QR flow
White-Label Login
Your logo, your app – our login
The login in the mobile app appears entirely in your brand identity. Customers see your brand logo above the SSO buttons – not ob7. The bottom sheet with login options slides up over the charging station map.
The logo changes per client – whether DEW21, Stadtwerke, or EnBW: customers always see your brand.
Why SSO?
Less friction, more registrations
Social login removes the most common drop-off reasons in the onboarding process.
Less friction at login = more successful registrations
Checkout and form friction is one of the most common causes of abandonment (Source: Baymard Institute). Social login reduces typical barriers: no new password, less input, a familiar button.
Provider case studies (incl. Auth0) report conversion lifts in the range of ~20–40% after introducing social login – figures vary significantly by audience and flow.
Indicative figure from provider case studies, not guaranteed. Numbers vary by context, audience, and existing baseline conversion.
