What is Sharepnp?
The Sharepnp Platform connects Electric vehicle drivers with private charging "Stations" in a few clicks. With this platform, we want to make it possible to travel by electric car in rural areas and holiday regions where the public charging infrastructure is not yet sufficiently developed.
"It's still too early to drive an electric car, there are barly any public charging stations" - This is the most common reason why we don't switch to electric mobility. But actually we don't need any public charging stations. We just have to use the opportunities that are already available. Almost all private charging options are not being used during a day.
So what do we need for this? 2 things - A Wallbox and the Sharepnp App.
We cannot wait for a fully developed charging infrastructure, let's take it into our own hands and create a self-organized charging infrastructure.
As a Host
It doesn't matter if you drive an electric car. You can make your unused parking space or wallbox available to share with your neighborhood or friends. You define the price, available time slots and you can determine your circle of guests with Sharepnp Groups (see below).
As a User
Do you like driving an electric car, but don't want to worry about whether your battery will last to your destination and don't feel like long queues at public charging stations?
With the Sharepnp app, we want to give you a pleasant, stress-free and interesting journey, even in rural areas.
​
You want to keep your Sharepnp charging & parking spot accessible only for a certain group or community? You can!

About
Sharepnp has its origins in Siemens Energy, where it was selected as the best idea by ExoWorks (https://openexo.com) as part of a 10-week Innovation Sprint. We won funding and decided to develop the idea further and put it into practice.
Although the activities within Siemens Energy were discontinued for strategic reasons, we decided to continue the project as an independent startup. We strongly believe that Sharepnp is a solution
that is needed to enable electromobility for everyone while also empowering the better together.
We are working hard to get Sharepnp to market as soon as possible and look forward to giving you the opportunity to share your wallbox and parking spaces with others while relieving the energy grid. We thank you for your interest in our startup and look forward to welcoming you to the platform.
We are grateful for the support of Siemens Energy, the colleagues who contributed and the Exo Coaches from OpenExo who helped us develop and and validate the idea.
"Last year I was on vacation in Greece. We traveled to different places on the mainland by car. I have not seen a single charging station within the 2 weeks.
However, every 500m a gas station. Electric car drivers obviously have a hard time in such beautiful regions. My dream is travelling one day to countries such as Greece, Italy, Spain etc. - with an electric campervan.
But I need charging options for that. And with Sharepnp, this dream can become reality!"
