Togg partners with Octopus Electroverse to simplify charging in Europe

The Turkish-based mobility provider Togg is enhancing the digital user experience in Europe through a new partnership. Its partner is Octopus Electroverse, which it claims is one of the largest European charging platforms for electric vehicles. As part of this collaboration, Togg is integrating Octopus Electroverse’s services into its user platform, Trumore.

As Togg’s digital platform, Trumore aggregates various services related to mobility. “Trumore users can easily and intuitively find publicly available charging stations, navigate to their preferred charging spot, start the charging process, and complete payment,” the company states.

The integrated service will initially launch in Germany, Togg’s first European market outside Turkey. According to the company, Togg users and other app users will have access to over 220,000 charging stations across Germany—nearly the entire publicly available charging network. Additionally, more than 1.4 million charging stations are available nationwide through Octopus Electroverse’s network. Users of the Trumore app will thus need fewer separate charging apps, RFID cards, and user accounts.

The agreement is intended to mark the first phase of a broader partnership between Togg and the Octopus Energy Group. This collaboration is also meant to lay the foundation for future benefits for users, including subscription-based charging rates, charging credits, and a CarCharge feature. “This partnership reflects Togg’s vision of building a connected mobility ecosystem,” it says. “Rather than viewing charging as a standalone service, Togg integrates public charging into its digital platform Trumore, thereby enabling users to enjoy a seamless digital experience.”

CEO Gürcan Karakaş aims for Togg to achieve an annual sales volume of 110,000 units, which he believes can be achieved through expansion into Europe. In Germany, the Turkish electric vehicle manufacturer founded in 2018 still faces low registration numbers: only 197 vehicles were registered in the first half of the year, including 162 units of the SUV T10X and 35 units of the sedan T10F.
