Scharge charging station partnership
Buy or lease equipment, joint investment and operation, or charging stations for corporate fleets. FAQ and the partners in the Scharge alliance.
Partnership models
Four ways to bring Scharge charging stations to your site. Power configuration, site list and terms are set by each agreement.
Buy equipment and operate it yourself
Purchase genuine Scharge chargers for installation on your own premises. CD Restop installs, activates the app and provides the warranty.
Lease equipment
Lease chargers for a fixed term to reduce upfront investment. Equipment, software and maintenance are included under the contract.
Joint investment and operation
The partner contributes the site and transformer station. CD Restop invests in the chargers, construction, software, operation and sales. Charging revenue is reconciled in real time on the app and shared as agreed.
Charging stations for corporate fleets
Design, installation and operation of dedicated charging stations for the EV fleets of transport, delivery and ride-hailing companies, as a turnkey service contract.
Three steps to get started
- Send your requirements to hi@cdrestop.com: partnership type, location and expected scale.
- CD Restop surveys the site, scores it and proposes a suitable configuration.
- Agree on the model, sign the agreement and proceed with installation.
Deployment contexts
Which stop class fits your site
The CD Restop design standard divides rest stops into four classes by area and location. The stop class determines investment scale and electrical configuration, so the class must be set before design starts.
Service complex
International ports, major transport hubs, national key interchanges.
- What you bring
- A large plot with legal documents ready, near a medium-voltage line.
- What we bring
- A high-power charging complex design combining solar power, logistics, lodging, and on-site services.
Corridor-axis stop
National or regional key transport hubs, on main corridor axes.
- What you bring
- A site along a transport axis, with enough room for a zoned parking area and service block.
- What we bring
- A multi-post charging cluster, a driver rest and recovery area, GOMO Mart, and a union space.
Urban-gateway stop
A major inner-city/outer-city interchange; the charging station is the service focal point.
- What you bring
- A parking lot, gas station, or service point at a city gateway.
- What we bring
- DC fast charging at 60 – 150 kW, coffee and fast food, a wifi waiting area, and standard-compliant restrooms.
On a partner's existing site
Gas stations, eateries, parking lots, community halls, local markets — deployable down to ward and commune level.
- What you bring
- An operating site with a corner large enough for a charging post and its own meter.
- What we bring
- Investment in DC/AC charging posts and solar power, a vending kiosk, a digital noticeboard; revenue shared with the site owner.
Class C is the network's fastest-replicating unit, not a scaled-down convenience store. The minimum components still meet the Five HAVEs standard: a service counter, a charging post, standard-compliant restrooms, free drinking water, and a policy noticeboard.
How we score a site
A four-pillar scoring framework decides which class a site belongs to, before equipment is even discussed.
Transport axis, vehicle traffic volume, distance to the nearest stop on the same axis.
Land-use certificate, designated land use, zoning, and the feasibility of construction and fire-safety permits.
Power source and medium-voltage line, water supply and drainage, telecom connectivity, ground elevation, and access.
Local service demand, site partners, and the ability to fit all modules required for the class.
Eight steps from site to operation
Each step has its own deliverable; no step is skipped.

Three layers of responsibility around a charging post
A post with no power, a charging session billed twice, a charging spot blocked by another vehicle — three problems that happen in the same place but belong to three different parties. The documents signed on 09/09/2026 clearly separate each layer.
The charging post and its associated low-voltage electrical work: equipment, installation, warranty, maintenance. SPT Group issues the equipment standard; branding a given location as Scharge is approved by SPT Group.
A post with no power falls under this layer.
The user app, payment, charging-session management, and operating data belong to the Scharge Platform, owned and operated by SPT Group. The driver has just one app, one account, one place to ask.
A session billed twice falls under this layer.
The site, local legal matters, on-site construction, safety, staff on duty, and customer care. Charging-spot markings, canopy, lighting, signage, fire-fighting equipment, clean restrooms. This is CD Restop's part.
A charging spot blocked by another vehicle falls under this layer.
Tasks around a charging post and the lead party
| Task | Lead party |
|---|---|
| Equipment standard, Scharge branding | SPT Group |
| App, payment, charging-session management | SPT Group (the Scharge Platform) |
| Charging post and low-voltage electrical: equipment, installation, warranty, maintenance | Each project's equipment supplier |
| Site, construction, on-site operation, customer care | CD Restop |
| Project development, energy management, and network operation | DTH Holdings |
| Solar power and energy storage | Coro Energy |
Charging-session and payment data belong to the Scharge Platform; on-site business data belong to CD Restop. User data is collected and processed under Law No. 91/2025/QH15 on Personal Data Protection.
What a site needs to prepare before installing posts
The charging post is the part drivers see. What decides whether it actually runs lies underground and inside the electrical cabinet. This checklist helps you self-review before the site survey.
- Available power source and distance to the medium-voltage grid
A DC fast-charging post running at full 160 kW draws roughly as much power as fifty households switching on all their appliances at once. The area's existing low-voltage line usually cannot carry a stop with several posts.
- A dedicated substation when needed
Every stop class has its own dedicated substation, differing only in power scale. This is the most time-consuming item because it involves grid-connection procedures with the power utility; SPT Group assists with the electricity-operation license, while CD Restop handles local legal matters.
- Separate metering and a management boundary
Power for the charging station is metered separately from that of an adjacent eatery, guesthouse, or workshop. An affiliated stop is also never wired downstream of a partner's meter. This is the basis for transparent reconciliation among parties.
- Site layout and electrical layout planned together
The farther a post sits from the distribution cabinet, the larger the cable and the greater the loss. Turning radius, a waiting area that does not block traffic flow, and a pedestrian route kept clear of the reversing zone.
- Minimum safety and amenities
Fire prevention and fighting for each zone, drainage, security lighting, canopy, signage, standard-compliant restrooms.
- Roof and space for solar power and storage (optional)
At stops with a suitable roof, a solar power and energy storage system helps flatten peak load when many vehicles charge at once, reducing the power that must be drawn from the grid.
- Land legal status and construction permits
Land-use certificate, designated land use, zoning, and the local feasibility of construction and fire-safety permits.
- Correct brand identity
Three brand layers are kept distinct: CD Restop for the whole stop, Scharge by SPT for the charging-post cluster only, and the digital-citizen station carries its own identity.
For road rest stops, technical regulation QCVN 43:2024/BGTVT has placed the transformer station and backup power source among the mandatory items, along with a requirement of at least 10% of parking spaces having charging, effective 01/01/2027.
Frequently asked questions
What drivers and site partners most often ask about Scharge charging stations.
Which vehicles can charge at a Scharge station?
AC chargers use Type 1 / Type 2 connectors for BEVs and PHEVs with an AC charging port. DC chargers support CCS1 / CCS2 · GB/T · CHAdeMO, compatible with any vehicle model. The two-wheeler station has smart sockets for electric motorbikes and e-bikes.
Which connector standards are supported?
AC charging: Type 1 / Type 2. DC charging: CCS1 / CCS2 · GB/T · CHAdeMO. The standard charging cable is 5 m, with custom lengths available to order.
How do I pay?
In the Scharge app you use a prepaid wallet, topped up by bank transfer via QR code. The running cost is shown continuously while charging, and the transaction log records every top-up and every charging deduction. Chargers also support card tap and VIN identification depending on the configuration of each site.
What if the QR code cannot be scanned?
Type in the code printed on the charger directly in the app. Sessions are started and stopped from within the app.
Does the app collect my location?
No. Your GPS coordinates are not sent to the server. The app computes distances on the device to sort the station list. If you decline location access, you can still see every station on the map.
Are outdoor chargers safe?
Scharge chargers are rated IP54, operate from −25 ℃ to 50 ℃ and can be installed indoors and outdoors. The AC and DC cabinets have powder-coated sheet steel enclosures. Multiple protection layers cover overvoltage, undervoltage, earth leakage, surge, overtemperature, overcurrent and overcharge. The DC 40 kW model also has an emergency stop button.
I own a site. How can we work together?
You can buy equipment and operate it yourself, lease equipment, invest and operate jointly, or order a charging station for a corporate fleet. Under joint investment and operation, the partner contributes the site and the transformer station, while CD Restop invests in the chargers, the software and the operation. Charging revenue is reconciled in real time on the app and shared as agreed.
Can I buy chargers for a corporate fleet?
Yes. CD Restop designs, installs and operates dedicated charging stations for the EV fleets of transport, delivery and ride-hailing companies under a turnkey service contract. Companies can also buy SC14, SC80 and SC160 chargers and operate them themselves, with CD Restop handling installation, app activation and warranty.
I only have a corner of a yard at a gas station or eatery — can I still partner?
Yes. That is a Class C affiliated stop: CD Restop invests in a charging post and solar power on your existing site, installs a separate meter, and shares revenue with the site owner. The minimum components still meet the Five HAVEs standard.
If a post breaks down or a session is billed wrong, who do I call?
Equipment and low-voltage electrical belong to the project's equipment supplier; the app, payment, and charging session belong to SPT Group's Scharge Platform; the site, safety, and staff on duty belong to CD Restop. The driver only needs to contact a single point of contact in the app; the parties divide the work behind the scenes.
How is charging revenue reconciled?
Output and charging sessions are reconciled through the Scharge Platform and periodic reports. Each stop has its own separate meter, and the metering component inside the post meets accuracy class 1. The price schedule is posted publicly at the stop and in the app.
How long does it take for a stop to go into operation?
It depends on the stop class and the state of the power source. The most time-consuming item is the substation and the grid-connection procedure with the power utility. Stops with the site and legal documents already ready are prioritized first, following the eight-step process.
