FLEXECHARGE Secures €5 Million to Power the Future of Grid-Integrated EV Charging
As the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) accelerates across Europe, the pressure on charging infrastructure grows. Grid volatility and fluctuations in electricity markets are emerging as the most critical bottlenecks for the continent’s transition to electric mobility. Yet, despite this challenge, most commercial charging stations continue to operate as passive, inflexible assets — missing out on the opportunity to support the grid and optimise operational costs.
FLEXECHARGE, a Danish Energy-Tech pioneer, is changing that. The company empowers Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to transform their networks into reliable, grid-integrated, revenue-generating assets, helping them reduce costs by up to 60%. Today, FLEXECHARGE announced a successful €5 million funding round, led by Eneco Ventures and EnBW New Ventures. The round also saw participation from Greencode Ventures and us at Vireo Ventures.
Building the Infrastructure for Smart Charging
The FLEXECHARGE team — Max Brandt, Jan Köster, and Robert Brehm — has developed a comprehensive infrastructure stack designed to help CPOs thrive in the energy transition. Their key solutions include:
-
HARMON-E: A vendor-independent load and energy management platform that allows operators to intelligently control energy flows.
-
GATEWAY: An on-site controller that ensures local reliability and resilience at charging locations.
-
Aggregate: A virtual power plant module that enables participation in flexibility markets, creating new revenue streams.
Already, FLEXECHARGE technology powers over 95 MW of EV charging capacity across Europe, with leading operators such as Electra and Bump relying on their solutions.
Driving the Transition to Resilient, Future-Ready Networks
Max Brandt, CEO of FLEXECHARGE, summarises the company’s mission:
“We want to become the leading provider of load, energy, and grid management — empowering commercial charging operators to reduce costs and build resilient, future-ready networks.”
At Vireo Ventures, we are proud to support FLEXECHARGE in building exactly the kind of solution Europe needs to accelerate the electric mobility transition.
We extend our congratulations to the entire FLEXECHARGE team — Max, Jan, Robert — and thank our co-investors Ashley Klapwijk, Pascal Beckers-Jaleta, Dr. Terhi (TJ) Vapola, Manuel Heckmann, Christian Rangen, Stine Rolstad Brenna, Crispin Leick, Christophe Lephilibert, and many others who made this milestone possible.
