Platform

Four layers,one charging network

ChajaGrid separates charge point operations from money movement, connects them through a roaming layer, and puts the whole network in a driver's pocket.

CPO + eMSP

The Grid

EV charging infrastructure for CPOs & eMSPs

The operating layer for charge points, roaming partners, fleet access, and session records. Full OCPP and OCPI compliance across mixed hardware networks.

Request access

What it handles

Remote station monitoring & control
OCPP 1.6J + 2.0.1 device support
Real-time session records & analytics
RFID, app & fleet driver access
Ecosystem

One integrated platformcovering every layer

From hardware control to carbon reporting, the ChajaGrid ecosystem handles the full stack of Africa's EV charging infrastructure.

CPO & MSP SaaS

Full-stack charging management for CPOs and eMSPs, with OCPP device control, session management, and automated revenue settlement built into one platform.

Plug & Charge (ISO 15118)

Cable in, charging starts. Driverless authentication via Nexus IN Groupe PKI, the global standard for frictionless, secure EV charging, made accessible in Africa.

PSV & Fleet Access

RFID, mobile wallet, and USSD payment channels, engineered for Kenya's PSV sector and the commercial fleet operators who power the continent's last mile.

Carbon Data Layer

Every charging session adds to a cleaner mobility record: energy delivered, fuel displaced, and CO2e avoided, ready for carbon partners and mobility programs.

Carbon data layer

Charging data carbonpartners can build on

Every charging session adds to a cleaner mobility record: energy delivered, fuel displaced, and CO2e avoided across the network.

Fuel and CO2e figures depend on the agreed baseline vehicle class, fuel consumption, grid emissions factor, and carbon-credit methodology.

Energy delivered

0 kWh

Tracked charging energy delivered across the ChajaGrid ecosystem. Anchor metric for downstream carbon reporting.

Verified

Fuel displaced

0 L

Estimated from charging activity and agreed vehicle baseline assumptions.

CO2e avoided

0 kg

Methodology-based reporting output for carbon partners and mobility programs.

One session. One connected record.

How a charging session flows

From the first driver credential to settlement and carbon reporting, ChajaGrid keeps every system in sync.

  1. Driver authenticates

    RFID, app, or USSD - any access method is recognised by The Grid.

  2. Session starts & charge point activated

    OCPP command sent, energy meter starts, session record opens.

  3. Ledger handles payment

    M-Pesa, wallet, or fleet account debited in real time.

  4. CDR generated & settled

    Charge Detail Record processed through OCPI Hub, operator revenue settled.

  5. Carbon data recorded

    kWh, fuel-displacement and CO2e figures logged to the carbon data layer.

Infrastructure, grounded

Built for Africa's EV Reality

Most charging platforms were engineered for markets that already have the infrastructure. Africa demands something entirely different.

ChajaGrid was shaped ground-up by those realities. Every protocol integration, billing rule and roaming connection is built for operators who cannot afford infrastructure that does not fit their market.

Payments that fit

M-Pesa, USSD and account-based charging.

Fleet-first billing

PSV and commercial fleet structures built in.

Mixed hardware

LIANGXIN and third-party charge points.

Local settlement

Operator revenue and reconciliation in one flow.

Open protocols. African operators. Zero compromise.

Payment prerequisites

M-Pesa (Paybill or Till)

To accept M-Pesa payments, you need a registered Safaricom merchant account, paybill, or till number. We handle the integration once you are set up.

Card & Bank Transfers (I&M Bank)

Card processing and bank-to-bank payments are enabled through I&M Bank merchant registration. We handle the integration once you are set up.

ChajaGrid Ledger

The financial operating layer for charging money movement

The Grid controls charging activity. Ledger controls the money behind it: driver wallets, fleet limits, payment rails, operator settlement, and finance reconciliation.

EV wallets and settlement

One account model for drivers, fleets, wallets, and operators.

Ledger keeps charging revenue connected to the account that triggered it, so payment teams can see who paid, who consumed, and who should be settled.

CPOs selling charging through wallets
eMSPs managing driver accounts
Fleet operators setting mobility limits
Wallet providers embedding EV charging access
Scope Ledger for your charging model

What it handles

M-Pesa, bank, and card payment rails
Customer wallet and mobility account balances
Fleet limits and account-based charging
Operator settlement and reconciliation
CBS and back-office integrations

How money moves through a charging session

Driver or account authorized

Wallet, fleet account, or payment rail confirms access before charging begins.

Charging session starts

The Grid opens the session while Ledger keeps the money context attached.

Payment event recorded

Wallet debit, M-Pesa payment, or fleet usage is tied to the charging record.

Settlement entries posted

Operator revenue, partner share, and account balances move into a reconcilable ledger.

Finance reconciles

Back-office teams can trace charging activity to payments, accounts, and settlement records.

The company

Vision and mission

Vision

To connect every charge point, driver and operator across Africa through a single open, interoperable platform — where energy flows as freely as data.

Mission

To give African CPOs and eMSPs enterprise-grade charging infrastructure without the overhead and without the compromises.
