EV operations technology company &Charge has raised €5 million in Series A funding to accelerate the development of its operations platform and expand its presence across Europe’s rapidly growing EV charging infrastructure market. The round was led by Warsaw Equity Group, with participation from InnoEnergy, Redstone and Porsche Ventures.
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 prioritise interventions by impact and dispatch service partners and to 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 a single 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 prioritised 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 the fragmented field reality into reliable and scalable network operations.
