The Industry Challenge

Plug & Charge Promise vs. Reality

Plug & Charge has long promised app-free EV charging, but the industry has struggled to deliver it at scale. Cost, complexity, and automaker-led implementations have kept this convenience out of reach for most fleets.

Automaker Dependency

Existing Plug & Charge implementations relied on automaker-issued certificates, limiting adoption to specific vehicles and requiring costly OEM partnerships.

Limited Vehicle Support

Fleets with mixed vehicle brands and legacy EVs were excluded from Plug & Charge benefits, forcing drivers to use multiple apps and payment methods.

Complex Infrastructure

Enabling Plug & Charge traditionally required firmware updates, hardware upgrades, and complex integrations with charging networks.

The DIMO + Emobi Solution

Fleet-Level Plug & Charge Enablement

By shifting Plug & Charge enablement from automakers to fleets, the partnership unlocks secure, standards-based charging for any driver in any vehicle.

Device-Based Digital Certificates

Emobi's JustPlug™ technology issues ISO 15118 digital certificates directly to fleet vehicles through DIMO's OBD-II device or virtual onboarding—no automaker involvement required.

Impact: Any fleet can now enable Plug & Charge on any vehicle, including legacy EVs, without waiting for OEM support.

Secure Identity Bridge

DIMO's device securely hosts the EV's digital charging identity, serving as the bridge for Plug & Charge without requiring any changes to the vehicle itself.

Impact: Fleets maintain full control over their charging credentials with enterprise-grade security and compliance.

Universal Charging Access

The partnership combines DIMO's fleet intelligence platform with Emobi's access to over 140,000 chargers across the U.S. and Canada.

Impact: Drivers experience seamless, app-free charging across both modern and legacy charging infrastructure.
"This partnership represents a major milestone for EV adoption. Electric vehicles have been promised a seamless Plug & Charge experience for years, but have had to keep waiting as the industry struggled to deliver it at scale. Issuing ISO 15118 digital certificates directly to fleets through DIMO's device puts control where it belongs, and unlocks Plug & Charge functionality for any car today."
