Regensburg, Germany 
July 24, 2025 Qwello is now live with Cariqa Smart Pricing in Regensburg – bringing a new level of transparency and flexibility to public EV charging.
Over the next 8 weeks, drivers can experience smart, dynamic pricing at 53 Qwello charging points across more than 20 locations in the city.
Rethinking the Way We Price Public Charging
Prices at the charger will adjust throughout the day – based on when it makes most sense for the energy system. When demand on the grid is low, prices can drop by up to 40%. When the grid is under pressure, prices remain stable.
It’s a new way of charging that rewards flexibility and supports smarter energy use – without requiring drivers to change their habits.
Smart Pricing helps reduce pressure on the power grid and makes better use of available energy – especially when it’s clean and abundant.
About the partnership
This pilot is powered by Cariqa, a Berlin-based software company with operations across Europe. Their end-to-end platform for payment, billing, and pricing is built for EV charging . Their Smart Pricing engine uses data and real-time signals to adjust prices dynamically – creating a system that benefits both EV users and infrastructure operators.
Together, Qwello and Cariqa are exploring new ways to improve the public charging experience – while helping cities move toward a more efficient and flexible energy future.
