ChargeHub has extended its Passport Hub charging-roaming integration with Nissan from Canada into the U.S. market, giving Nissan Energy Charge Network (NECN) drivers access to a broad pool of public charging providers through the Nissan mobile app. The Passport Hub platform gives Nissan one technical, legal, and financial integration point rather than requiring separate agreements, technical builds, and reconciliation processes with each individual charging network. ChargeHub says its hub now powers the majority of charge point operator (CPO) integrations offered to NECN users in the U.S. as of January 2026. Nissan drivers can access the expanded network immediately through the Nissan mobile app.
Highlights
- ChargeHub’s Passport Hub now powers the majority of CPO integrations offered to NECN drivers in the U.S., as of January 2026.
- The turnkey integration gives Nissan U.S. drivers access to dozens of charging networks and tens of thousands of ports across North America.
- NECN coverage also includes Tesla Superchargers and Electrify America alongside the networks reached through Passport Hub.
- ChargeHub’s Passport Hub supports more than 750 live roaming connections, and the company’s separate driver app is used by over 1 million people annually.
A Single Integration Point Instead of Dozens of Contracts
Rather than negotiating terms, building technical connections, and setting up accounting and reconciliation processes with each charging network individually, Nissan used ChargeHub’s existing Passport Hub agreement structure to reach one of the larger pools of charging networks available to an automaker in the U.S. and Canada, according to ChargeHub. The integration is designed to let Nissan add new charging networks as ChargeHub brings them onto the platform, without renegotiating for each one.
Passport Hub also preserves flexibility on Nissan’s side. The automaker can maintain some of its existing direct network connections, choose which CPOs to expose to its drivers through the hub, and negotiate additional terms with individual CPOs beyond ChargeHub’s baseline hub agreement.
Building on the Canada Relationship
The U.S. extension builds on ChargeHub’s existing Passport Hub relationship with Nissan Canada. For NECN drivers, the combined network now includes Tesla Superchargers and Electrify America alongside the CPOs reached through Passport Hub — a combination ChargeHub describes as one of the more comprehensive public charging setups offered by an automaker.
ChargeHub CEO on Network Fragmentation
“We built Passport Hub to solve a critical challenge: the fragmentation of charging networks across North America,” said Simon Ouellette, CEO at ChargeHub. “Automakers shouldn’t have to negotiate, integrate, maintain systems, and reconcile with dozens of individual operators to provide their drivers with comprehensive coverage. This relationship extension from Canada to the U.S. shows our model works—it scales, it delivers value to drivers, and it removes the infrastructure barriers that slow EV adoption. In a time when resources supporting EVs may be constrained at many OEMs, the use of Passport Hub becomes a necessity for OEMs to provide the desired user experience in a timely manner while staying within resource constraints.”
