Mutual visibility of charging points
Partner stations and offers surface in each other's apps and maps—so drivers discover your infrastructure when they travel.
Cross Charging Network
More reach for municipal charging partners—a network that brings marketing, map, and app together. Still in the initiative phase; targeted launch late 2026.
Roadmap & initiative
Not live yet—shape it with us
The Cross Charging Network is in its initiative phase. We are looking for partners—especially municipal utilities and regional CPOs who want to strengthen each other and help define how the network works.
The idea stays the same: internal roaming between clearly defined partners—drivers keep their contract CPO's app, see partner offers on the map, and benefit from location-aware hints. Pricing and brand control stay with each operator. What changes is how we present it: we are building this as a teaser because product rules and partnerships will be defined together with you. Target for a broadly usable rollout: late 2026.
Availability
Late 2026
We are working in parallel with existing OB7 products on concept, governance, and delivery. Before launch we align with initiators—openly and as partners.
Who we are looking for
Municipal utilities & regional CPOs
If you are a public energy provider or regional CPO and want to join an alliance that pools reach and mutual marketing—without diluting your brand—we would love to hear from you.
Book a conversationDirection
Marketing & reach as a network
Built from pieces you already know from maps, apps, and notifications—recombined for a shared charging network.
POIs & area markers
Points of interest and polygon areas for campaigns, discount zones, or hints—similar to map layers and marketing zones you know from product work.
Location-based push messages
When drivers enter another region or another municipal utility's area, context-aware hints can replace generic broadcasts—relevant to the trip, restrained in tone.
Third parties & advertising
Additional ad or sponsorship inventory for third parties is conceivable—only with explicit consent from the network partner who owns the app or map, and with clear guardrails.
Consent & brand safety
Each partner decides what appears in their app and on their map. Opt-in, transparency, and control come before reach at any cost.
Municipal partners—not an anonymous aggregator
The focus is on utilities and CPOs who set standards together—not an undifferentiated marketplace, but a clearly governed network.
Help shape the initiative
We are not looking for silent observers—we want operators who will co-define this direction, from the first pilot region to rules for marketing and third parties.

Frequently asked questions
Status of the initiative, audience, and planned mechanics.
What role does OB7 play in the network?
OB7 provides the technology: white-label software through which network partners deliver their offer. We operate neither as a CPO nor as an e-mobility provider (EMP)—we are solely a white-label software vendor and enable the parties to run the network together. Commercial and contractual relationships with end customers remain with each operator.
Is the Cross Charging Network available yet?
No. We are in the initiative phase and plan a broader rollout towards late 2026. Until then we talk to interested parties and define priorities together.
Why focus on municipal utilities and regional CPOs?
Public utilities often share goals: regional responsibility, citizen trust, and a strong brand. A network can pool reach without diluting each brand—provided rules and consent are clear.
How should third-party advertising or sponsorship work?
Only with consent from the network partner who operates the app or map. Scope, format, and frequency should be configurable so brand safety and user experience stay first.
What pricing logic applies between partners—and what does it mean for drivers?
Each operator sets their own ad-hoc prices at their own sites. Within the alliance, at a partner site drivers pay the ad-hoc price shown for that station operator—displayed transparently in the app and map. The contractual relationship with the home CPO or supplier remains; how subscriptions or special terms interact is aligned between partners as part of the initiative.
