Hubject Financial Services GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hubject, receives German Financial Supervisor's (BaFin) regulatory permission to process payments
'With this financial services authorization, Hubject Financial Services GmbH can develop advanced payment capabilities, enhanced settlement options, and integrated financial products...'— Carsten Puhl, CEO of Hubject Financial Services GmbH
BERLIN, GERMANY, June 11, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- Hubject Financial Services GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hubject, received the German Financial Supervisor's (BaFin) regulatory permission to process payments under the Payment Services Oversight Act (ZAG) in Europe. Hubject is world's leading eRoaming Service provider.
With the BaFin authorization, Hubject is expanding its portfolio of services. This offers advantages for all Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Services Providers (EMPs). Hubject Financial Services will process payments, completing the final piece of an integrated solution that transforms how CPOs and EMPs manage financial transactions, compliance, and revenue optimization.
For an industry where cross-border transactions, VAT compliance, and multi-currency settlements create operational complexity, this licensing represents a transformative development. Partners can now focus on growing their charging networks and improving customer experiences while Hubject Financial Services manages the underlying financial infrastructure with full regulatory compliance and approval of a financial supervisor. This regulatory achievement represents a significant milestone for the eMobility industry. After two years of rigorous regulatory preparation, Hubject Financial Services becomes the first eMobility company to receive a payment institution license from BaFin. This achievement establishes Hubject as the only company in the sector to combine proven interoperability technology with its own regulated financial services solution.
'Today marks the completion of our most ambitious project, delivering on our promise to create truly end-to-end financial solutions for the eMobility industry,' said Carsten Puhl, CEO of Hubject Financial Services GmbH. 'This creates new possibilities for innovation within the eMobility ecosystem. With this financial services authorization, Hubject Financial Services GmbH can develop advanced payment capabilities, enhanced settlement options, and integrated financial products that address emerging industry needs as EV adoption accelerates globally.'
The combination of world-leading interoperability technology and regulated financial services positions Hubject to support the industry's evolution from early adoption to mainstream integration. All Hubject roaming partners can now seamlessly create, send, receive and approve invoices as well as initiate money transfers. Today these processes are done individually, creating a lot of friction between companies. By using Hubject´s services, CPOs and EMPs can fully focus on supporting the transition to the EV mass market – by relying on experienced partners like Hubject.

California sues Trump over its EV plans. Ten more states joined the suit filed today against President Trump and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Congress recently voted to revoke EPA waivers that allow California to set tougher air pollution standards for vehicles than the nation as a whole, in what the plaintiffs allege was an unlawful use of the Congressional Review Act.

New Orleans wants to transform to an EV-friendly city
New Orleans leaders want at least 40% of passenger vehicles registered in Orleans Parish to be electric within 10 years, according to a draft report. Why it matters: It will require infrastructure upgrades and financial incentives to encourage people to make the switch. The big picture: One of the biggest priorities, the report says, is adding EV charging infrastructure in convenient locations. The city wants to install 600 charging ports in the next five years. Some could be installed on streetlights. The recommendations in the report call for the city to create a hiring program to construct the ports and deploy other EV projects. The report says the city plans to use a mix of local, federal and private funding for the initiatives. Public sentiment is also a challenge, the report says. Drivers in the survey cited the high upfront costs of buying an EV. They also said a lack of charging options at home is a turnoff. They also have uncertainty about the reliability of EVs and charging stations during power outages and evacuations in south Louisiana, the report says. The report suggests putting chargers on pedestals above flood levels and adding solar energy and battery storage to mitigate power outages. Financial incentives may be needed to encourage people to make the switch, the findings say. Meanwhile, the city is looking at having a greater share of electric vehicles in its fleet. The report says leaders are talking with the Regional Transit Authority, Orleans Parish School Board and the Port of New Orleans about their plans to electrify their own fleets. Another suggestion is to give city contractors, like waste haulers, extra points in their bids if they have EVs in their fleets. Between the lines: The city wants to encourage electric cars, truck, e-bikes and scooters. Part of the report focuses on increasing e-bike use through a rebate program and more protected bike lanes. Another idea is using e-cargo bikes for local deliveries. Zoom in: The city says it is focusing on EVs because leaders believe these changes will bring more jobs and business to New Orleans, according to a statement. They want to use a tax-exemption program to attract EV and battery manufacturers to New Orleans metro. This has been a hot topic as the Trump administration pushes for more tariffs on imported products. Simply put, the U.S. can't build EVs without China, writes Axios' Joann Muller.

Our Hyundai Ioniq 6 Is Almost as Fast as a Porsche Taycan
These days when it comes to analyzing performance, traditional metrics like 0 to 60 mph and quarter mile times often only tell part of the story. Sure, the likes of a 2025 Porsche Taycan S can easily pummel a fellow EV sedan such as our yearlong review 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Long Range out at the test track. But when it comes to charge times, we recently found during our testing that the Ioniq 6 can more than hang with the Taycan S. The Hyundai Ioniq 6 SE Long Range impresses with fast charging, nearly rivaling the Porsche Taycan. It adds 267 miles in 30 mins, is efficient, and costs $43K. However, its 292-mile real-world range falls short of the 361-mile EPA estimate. It excels in city efficiency but has minor tech annoyances. This summary was generated by AI using content from this MotorTrend article Read Next It's the type of result that further highlights how impressive Hyundai's E-GMP platform-based EVs continue to be, even when matched against Porsche's recently updated and equally impressive Taycan models. Now that our Ioniq 6 is back at our Los Angeles HQ, we had a chance to subject it to our EV testing regimen, and not only did it outperform just about every other Hyundai Group EV we've tested to date, it's the third fastest-charging EV we've ever tested when it comes to cumulative range added after 15 and 30 minutes at a DC fast charger, behind only a 2025 Taycan S (we tested the Taycan S in both its Normal and Range modes, and are listing the closer Normal results). It's not quite a photo finish, but the Ioniq6 is in the Taycan's ballpark. Here are the results: MotorTrend's Yearlong Review 2024 Ioniq 6 SE Long Range RWD Cumulative Range Added @ 15 min: 200 miles Cumulative Range Added @ 30 min: 267 miles 2025 Porsche Taycan 4S Performance Battery Plus (Normal mode) Cumulative Range Added @ 15 min: 207 miles Cumulative Range Added @ 30 min: 273 miles The differences can be primarily chalked up to the fact that the Taycan S can ingest significantly more average power than the Ioniq 6 when charging from 5 to 80 percent (258 kW for the Porsche versus 195 kW in the Hyundai) and 5 to 100 percent (124 kW versus 105 kW), with total peak power also handily in favor of the Porsche (325 kW for the Taycan and 242 kW for the Ioniq 6). It also must be pointed out that the Ioniq 6 is considerably more efficient—153/127/140 mpg-e versus 89/85/87 mpg-e—so each mile of range added requires fewer kWh coming through the charger. The numbers are also competitive when looking at baseline 5 to 80 and 5 to 100 percent charge times. The Ioniq 6 matches the Taycan to 80 percent at 19 minutes, and the electrons streak into its 77.4-kWh battery pack some six minutes quicker to 100 percent at 45 minutes versus 51 minutes for the Porsche and its 97.0-kWh battery pack. Note that the Taycan has a lot more battery to fill than the Ioniq 6 does. When it comes to our signature MotorTrend 70-mph Road Trip range test, however, the Porsche simply took the Ioniq 6 out to the woodshed, sort of like they'd do if both cars were pitted against each other in a quarter-mile drag race. At an official EPA combined range of 361 miles, the Ioniq 6 managed 292 miles in our test that runs a car at a steady highway route from 100 to 5 percent charge. That's 19 percent off the EPA number and slightly worse than our overall average. It's a good number for its $43K price, however, and it's important to note that we don't expect our test to match the EPA's numbers (our real-world numbers have also normally been far lower). Interestingly, we tested our yearlong car with about 11,400 miles on the odometer, and the number we recorded was virtually the same as a new, mechanically identical 2023 Ioniq 6 we previously range tested, which speaks to the consistency of both our test and the Ioniq 6's battery life to date. It was a far different story for the 2025 Taycan S, which recorded better range test numbers than its official government estimate of 295 miles. In its default drive mode, the Taycan cleared 302 miles, and it cleared 314 miles in efficiency-maximizing Range mode. The Taycan is among the few vehicles we've tested that have bettered the EPA's numbers. The Ioniq 6 does hold one other edge over its fellow EV sedan, with a slightly better drag coefficient (0.21 vs. 0.22), numbers that help both models with overall efficiency. As our testing continues to make clear, nothing is certain, and everything is constantly changing with the charging, performance, and efficiency of EVs that often leads to surprising results, as these numbers illustrate.
