Cariqa is a startup focused on providing electric vehicle (EV) drivers with a comprehensive solution for managing their charging needs. The company operates in the rapidly growing EV market, catering to both individual drivers and business users. Cariqa's primary service is an all-in-one app that simplifies charging, trip planning, and battery management for EV owners.
The app offers personalized charging advice to help users maintain their battery health. This includes recommendations on when to start and stop charging remotely, and how to balance the use of slow and fast chargers. Cariqa also provides a network of charging points, ensuring that users can easily find a station and avoid running out of power during their trips.
Cariqa operates on a subscription-based business model. Users can choose from different charging plans, such as Cariqa M (100 kWh/month) or Cariqa L (200 kWh/month), which offer estimated ranges of 250 km and 500 km per month, respectively. These plans include access to various types of chargers (AC, DC, HPC) and allow users to keep their charging costs predictable by paying a fixed price. If users exceed their purchased charging volume, they can pay as they go. The flexibility of the plans also allows users to cancel anytime, with changes taking effect in the next billing cycle.
The company makes money through these subscription fees and additional charges for overstay fees, which are passed on from charging point operators. Cariqa also has a referral program where users can earn credits by referring friends to the service.
In summary, Cariqa aims to make EV ownership more convenient and cost-effective by offering a user-friendly app that addresses all aspects of charging and battery management.
