Discover how Tridens EV Charge brings native, OCPI-based roaming to operators, partnering with ENAPI’s roaming hub.

EV drivers want one thing: to plug in anywhere, across any border or network, using just one account. It should be as easy as roaming with your phone.
But for Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Service Providers (EMSPs), making this happen is usually a headache. It often involves endless contracts, messy technical integrations, and weeks of back-and-forth for every new partner.
That’s why we teamed up with ENAPI, a roaming hub based in Berlin. Together, we’re making roaming a standard feature you just turn on, not a long-term project you have to manage.
A Better Way to Connect
Tridens EV Charge is an all-in-one platform. It handles everything from real-time charger management and billing to a white-label app for drivers.
To make roaming work at scale, you need to “speak the same language.” Usually, that means building and maintaining dozens of individual OCPI connections to different partners. By connecting to ENAPI’s hub once, you reach a community of CPOs and eMSPs and hundreds of thousands of charging points across Europe through a single integration.
ENAPI handles the technical handshakes, clearing, and the offer-management tooling that lets CPOs and eMSPs negotiate roaming directly with each other. Commercial roaming agreements stay bilateral — ENAPI provides the tooling to send, receive, accept, decline, or counter offers directly with each counterparty. Operators and providers keep the commercial relationship, the pricing, and the brand — the hub never sits between you and your counterparty, with no lock-in.
Why ENAPI is The Right Fit for Tridens
We partnered with ENAPI because they share our love for open standards. They use OCPI—the same protocol Tridens already uses. There’s no weird middleman software or clunky layers. It just works.
At Tridens, we believe in being hardware-neutral. Our platform works with hundreds of different charger models. This partnership with ENAPI follows that same logic: you stay in control of your brand, your pricing, and your data, while ENAPI handles the ‘handshakes’ and technical coordination.
What This Integration Unlocks
For CPOs and EMSPs using Tridens EV Charge, the integration delivers clear advantages:
- One technical integration, more partners: A single OCPI connection to ENAPI replaces dozens of point-to-point technical setups. Commercial agreements remain bilateral between CPO and eMSP, so you stay in control of every roaming relationship with no hub lock-in.
- Full control: You decide exactly which chargers and connectors are open for roaming and which ones stay private for your own customers.
- Your pricing, your rules: Set your own tariffs for energy, time, or parking, including full control over VAT.
- Security: Everything runs over secure HTTPS with rotating tokens to keep data safe.
- Roaming alongside your existing hubs: You can use ENAPI with other hubs such as Hubject or Gireve. You don’t have to choose just one.
- Happy drivers: Your drivers can see and use third-party chargers directly inside your branded app, instantly expanding your network.
Set Up in Minutes, Not Weeks
The technical side is simple. Once you have a commercial agreement with ENAPI, you just exchange a digital token, pick which chargers to share, and set your prices. Most of our users finish the setup in less than an hour.

Built For Operators Who Want to Scale
EV roaming is no longer a “nice to have.” As AFIR, national mandates, and driver expectations push the market toward seamless cross-network charging, operators need infrastructure that scales without rebuilding their stack every time a new partner appears.
With Tridens EV Charge and ENAPI, EV charging providers get a solution that is ready today and built to evolve tomorrow. Whether you’re launching your first roaming agreement or scaling to dozens of partners across multiple markets, the platform grows with you.
