As public charging networks scale, uptime is increasingly determined by what happens on the ground: site access issues, hardware degradation, vandalism, blocked bays, and service partner coordination. Charge point operators often lack visibility into what is happening at their charging sites, as many on-site issues and real-world conditions are not captured by pure software solutions.
Turning field reality into reliable operations
&Charge helps charge point operators (CPOs) detect and resolve on-site issues that remote monitoring often misses, such as broken connectors or cables, blocked charging bays, missing signage, or access restrictions. Its hybrid model combines a SaaS platform with a distributed execution layer, leveraging a community of EV drivers and local service partners to collect field data and perform on-site tasks. This allows operators to prioritize interventions by impact, dispatch service partners, and verify resolution creating a closed loop between digital monitoring and real-world execution
Today, &Charge supports leading CPOs including Ionity, Electra and Allego across multiple European markets and manages over 50,000 charging points.
With the new funding, the company will expand into a control layer for day-to-day operations, connecting field intelligence, usage data and a distributed service partner network into one operational system.
"As charging networks scale, uptime alone isn’t enough, operators need to know what drivers actually experience on-site,” said Eugen Letkemann, co-founder of &Charge. “We turn field-verified conditions into prioritized actions and help teams execute faster, reducing downtime and improving the charging experience.”
Strong investor backing for scaling EV charging operations
“&Charge has proven strong product-market fit with leading operators and has been scaling rapidly,” commented Jakub Głowaczewski, Investor at Warsaw Equity Group. “What convinced us is the clarity of the problem: charging networks can’t reach infrastructure-grade reliability without a system that connects field reality to execution. &Charge is building that operational control layer, and we’re excited to back the team as they scale across Europe.”
InnoEnergy initially invested in &Charge in December 2023 and has continued to support the company through market access, strategic introductions, and fundraising outreach. This follow-on investment also joined by WEG as a growth investor reflects confidence in &Charge’s progress, including early traction with charge point operators, product refinement, and validation of its operational insights.
“Ensuring the reliability of public charging infrastructure is a key priority for the transition to electric mobility,” said Christian Bauer, CEO Dach at InnoEnergy. “&Charge has demonstrated the value of translating real-world field insights into operational improvements for charging networks, and we are excited to deepen our partnership as the company scales across Europe.”
&Charge ultimately aims to build the operating layer for charging infrastructure, turning fragmented field reality into reliable and scalable network operations.
