Emobi and DIMO Deliver the First Fleet-Ready Plug & Charge Device
A groundbreaking partnership that brings secure, seamless ISO 15118 Plug & Charge to any fleet vehicle—without automaker dependencies, firmware updates, or hardware upgrades.
The Innovation
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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."
From Connection to Charging
A simple four-step process that finally delivers the universal Plug & Charge experience fleets and drivers have been waiting for.
Connect with DIMO
Fleets connect their vehicles using DIMO's affordable OBD-II device or virtual onboarding, enabling advanced vehicle intelligence without costly upgrades.
Certificate Issuance
Emobi's JustPlug™ issues and manages an ISO 15118 digital certificate at the fleet level via DIMO's device—no automaker involvement or firmware updates required.
Secure Identity Hosting
The DIMO device or cloud securely hosts the EV's digital charging identity, serving as the bridge for Plug & Charge without any changes to the vehicle.
Seamless Charging
Drivers simply plug in at any of 140,000+ compatible chargers across the U.S. and Canada. Authentication and payment happen automatically.
"With Emobi, we're extending DIMO's mission of smarter, safer mobility into fleet charging operations. Together, we're helping fleets spend less time managing infrastructure complexity and more time keeping vehicles on the road and delivering results."
