Apple Maps Adds Integrated Charging Wallet for EV Drivers in Europe

Powered by Munich-based Cirrantic, the feature consolidates charging workflows in Apple Maps for select European networks.

Overview

  • The integration is live in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden for charging stations operated by Citywatt, Jolt Energie, Da Emobil and Illwerke vkw.
  • Drivers can start charging sessions and pay using Apple Pay or other registered methods without leaving the navigation app or interacting with station interfaces.
  • The Charging Wallet aggregates ad-hoc rates, roaming charges and subscription tariffs to present dynamic price comparisons at each charging point.
  • Major charging network operators including EnBW, Ionity, E.On and Allego have not yet joined the scheme, leaving many fast-charge sites outside the integration.
  • Cirrantic’s founder Arne Meusel says the partnership could generate commission revenue per routed session and aims to onboard additional providers soon.
