What It Is

EV Price is a CPO/EMP backend platform for the EV charging industry, positioning itself as the “CPO Backend preferred by charging professionals.” Its core value proposition is not generic enterprise SaaS, but features built around charge point operations: dynamic pricing, roaming connectivity, direct payment collection, and charger protocol integration. It is best suited to companies that already operate, or plan to operate, EV charging infrastructure.

Core Features

The platform emphasizes automated dynamic pricing, using EPEX spot market data, CPO and EMP competitor information, and real-time demand to adjust prices. In roaming scenarios, pricing can take effect through relevant eMSPs, and prices can also be pushed directly to terminals for ad hoc charging. On the CPO side, it supports OCPP 1.6, 2.0.1, and 2.1, with roaming available via Hubject, ENAPI, E-Clearing, and P2P. On the EMP side, it provides OpenAPI connectivity for apps and allows partners to be selected by location and compensation terms. For payments, Direct Pay is supported by WEAT Electronic Datenservice GmbH; according to the site, revenue from direct payment sessions can be transferred directly into the operator’s bank account.

Pricing and Business Model

Public pricing is mainly aimed at CPOs: €10 per AC charge point and €15 per DC charge point, plus a 1% service fee on net revenue. The platform emphasizes price sovereignty: after joining the network, operators can still decide the prices applied to roaming partners and to end users in direct payment scenarios. No clear subscription fees are disclosed for EMPs, and there is no visible free plan or trial information.

Pros and Cons

The strengths are its sharp focus on a specific industry scenario, dynamic pricing variables that cover energy spot prices, competitors, and demand, plus relatively complete roaming network and OCPP support. Per-charge-point pricing is also straightforward. The drawbacks are that the website provides limited disclosure: common enterprise procurement details such as team permissions, audit logs, security compliance, data hosting, SLA, and deployment model are not clearly shown. EMP Plug & Charge is still marked as coming soon, and EMP pricing is not transparent.

Best Fit and Access from China

EV Price is better suited to charging station operators, CPOs, and EMPs in the European market, especially teams that need roaming capabilities such as Hubject and ENAPI and want to optimize pricing dynamically. Its access status from China is unknown; meanwhile, its EPEX, electricity market, roaming, and payment partners are clearly Europe-oriented. If you mainly operate in China, you should carefully evaluate local network access, cross-border payments, bank settlement, charging protocol compatibility, and domestic regulatory compliance. It may also be worth comparing local solutions such as TELD, Star Charge, and YKC.
