AcquiredOverview

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.

Support discontinuation for legacy AC models post-acquisition drew some criticism, though KEBA maintains service for other products.
