Truck shop: eTrucker Chip now provides access to E.ON charging stations

E.ON Drive Infrastructure announces a partnership with the eTrucker app. EDRI customers equipped with an eTrucker chip can now authenticate and charge directly at E.ON charging stations — “with transparent prices per kWh and without roaming fees,” according to the partners.

"Electric trucker" Tobias Wagner developed the eTrucker app in 2025 with his team – a charging navigation app for electric trucks. As an additional service, the company later introduced a so-called "eTrucker" chip that allows charging schedules to be organized individually. The goal is for freight companies to be able to deposit these chips with multiple charging station operators as well as other freight companies for depot charging. The driver then only needs to carry the chip with them to activate charging processes. The app also allows users to set filters to display only locations where the deposited chip works.

With E.On Drive Infrastructure (EDRI), another major player in the charging industry is now supporting this chip-based approach. “It consolidates all bilateral charging contracts, thereby enabling affordable direct prices without roaming surcharges,” say the officials. It is stored directly in the charging station operator’s backend, with monthly billing still going directly to the logistics company. In addition to E.On, supporters of this system include Milence, Depotcharge, Ionity, Mer, and Smatrics.

E.On currently operates 18 truck charging sites in the six countries of Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Czech Republic, and Hungary, according to its own statements. These sites offer charging capacities of up to 400 kW. Organizing access through a physical RFID chip is well-received at the headquarters: “For fleet managers, this means simplification — namely, charging costs that allow for reliable planning of routes and budgets,” says EDRI.
