EnerCharge

Acquired

Overview

EnerCharge GmbH developed and manufactured EV charging solutions, including AC and DC chargers for various electric vehicles, with integrated payment options, Plug & Charge (ISO 15118), and operator portals. The company drew on 135 years of experience in network technology, power supply, and energy management to offer hardware and software solutions produced in Austria. It positioned itself as a technical leader in charging technology, parking space management, and payment integration for the semi-public sector prior to its acquisition.

History

EnerCharge GmbH leveraged 135 years of heritage in network technology, power supply, and energy management for its EV charging solutions. The company developed high-quality products in Austria focused on user-friendly operation, fast charging, and direct payment methods. In September 2024, KEBA Energy Automation acquired EnerCharge to expand its portfolio with DC charging solutions for the semi-public sector.

Reputation

EnerCharge was recognized as a technical market leader in EV charging, parking management, and payment options by industry directories. Professionals valued its Austrian-made innovative products with 135 years of energy expertise. Support discontinuation for legacy AC models post-acquisition drew some criticism, though KEBA maintains service for other products.
