Driving the future of EV charging
As one of Europe’s leading High-Power Charging (HPC) networks, IONITY is on a mission to make long-distance electric vehicle travel seamless, sustainable, and scalable. Operating more than 4,500 HPC chargers across 900 sites in 24 countries, IONITY serves private drivers, fleet operators, and roaming MSPs across borders, languages, currencies, and tax systems.
To scale at this pace in such a complex environment, IONITY needed more than a charging solution—they needed a financial engine built for cross-border growth. That’s where Riverty came in.
The challenge: Scaling with speed, complexity, and control
From four countries in 2021 to 24 in 2025, IONITY's rapid expansion required a financial solution that could match its pace and complexity. As IONITY rolled out its HPC infrastructure across Europe, the business faced increasing pressure to:
- Support multiple VAT zones, nine currencies, and seven languages
- Consolidate complex ad-hoc, roaming, bilateral, and subscription-based billing models
- Secure cash flow reliability in a capital-intensive business
- Automate financial processes to reduce operational overhead and ensure compliance
Each HPC site costs upwards of €100K—with installation, ground works, and O&M on top. Efficient revenue handling across all streams was non-negotiable.
The solution: A Finance Suite built for EV Charging
Riverty provided IONITY with a full-service EV Charging Finance Suite, enabling it to scale its revenue operations with confidence. The solution included:
- Subscription management
- Ad-hoc charging support via credit card and app
- Charge Detail Record (CDR) consolidation and invoicing
- Roaming and bilateral B2B invoicing
- Failed payment handling and dunning
- Certified invoice archiving and book quality
Whether for private drivers or B2B roaming partners, Riverty powered billing for:
