cocharge is the sharing network for EV charging stations in Germany. Founded in Bremen, the company enables private individuals and businesses to make their existing wallboxes publicly accessible and provide charging infrastructure where people need it.

Via the cocharge platform, private charging points are automatically listed on Google Maps, Apple Maps and all major charging apps. cocharge handles the legally compliant billing, registration with the Bundesnetzagentur and monthly payouts. Hosts receive their payout directly to their account every month.

The network is currently active in 128+ cities and all 16 German states, with hosts from more than 17 industries: from fitness studios, holiday homes and medical practices to car dealerships, beverage retailers and much more.

cocharge is the alternative to central planning in charging infrastructure. Today, capital concentrates on a few high-traffic motorway and city-centre locations, while the potential of thousands of smaller sites goes untapped. cocharge flips this model: instead of deciding top-down where charging stations should go, the community builds the infrastructure itself — where it is actually needed. By people, for people.

Community beats monopoly. One charging station at a time.
