Hubject and Localiser team up on EV charging data for site planning

Hubject is sharing charging-utilization and point-of-interest data from its network with Localiser to help operators, municipalities and investors plan EV charging buildouts with more real-world usage data. The partnership is designed to improve where charging infrastructure gets built and how existing sites are optimized across Europe.

Why it matters: - EV charging planners often have to choose sites with incomplete demand signals. - The new data partnership is meant to help charge point operators, municipalities and investors make more accurate decisions on where public charging should be expanded and how it should be run. - Hubject and Localiser said the agreement is intended to support the commercial viability of charging networks, which both see as a prerequisite for wider EV adoption in Europe.

What happened: - Hubject and Localiser announced a strategic data partnership on August 20, 2026. - Hubject will provide Localiser with point-of-interest data and charging-utilization insights from its network. - The network spans more than 1,100,000 charging points in over 75 countries. - Localiser will use the data in its platform for site analysis and operational optimization. - The companies said the partnership is the first step in a broader effort to accelerate charging-network commercial viability.

The details: - Hubject said the data will help Localiser improve site evaluations for both new builds and existing charging locations. - Localiser said its platform already supports more than 35,000 site evaluations each month. - The platform combines population, traffic, point-of-interest and competitor data into forecasts of energy demand and utilization through 2035. - Localiser also covers historical utilization and end-customer pricing. - The platform follows DIN SPEC 91433, a German specification for charging infrastructure site assessment. - Localiser offers an API for integration into existing systems and workflows. - Hubject operates the intercharge eRoaming platform, which connects charge point operators and eMobility service providers. - Hubject said its Plug&Charge technology reaches 5,000,000 PnC-ready EVs and uses ISO 15118-2 and -20 standards. - Hubject also said it is the first EV-related company to offer financial services for EV companies based on its own payment license. - Localiser is based in Berlin and was founded in 2018. - Localiser’s platform serves passenger EVs and electric trucks in Europe. - More information is available at Localiser's website. - Hubject’s social channels include LinkedIn and YouTube.

Between the lines: - The partnership blends network-scale charging data with planning software, which could make Localiser’s forecasts more grounded in actual usage patterns. - The companies are also positioning data as a tool for operational benchmarking, not just new-site selection. - The focus on Europe suggests the partnership is aimed at a market where charging buildout still has to balance growth, utilization and profitability.

What's next: - Localiser will begin incorporating Hubject’s data into its site-evaluation and operational-optimization tools. - The companies are likely to push further into dashboards and reports that let operators compare utilization against aggregated network data. - The broader goal is to help charging networks become more commercially sustainable as EV adoption grows.

The bottom line: - Hubject is bringing real-world charging network data into Localiser’s planning platform to help the EV charging industry build smarter, operate better and invest with more confidence.
