Public charging infrastructure continues to grow at double-digit rates - increasingly at fast-charging locations for logistics, industry, and retail. In this environment, EcoG, a global scale-up for charging infrastructure, has secured €16 million from investors. The round is led by Munich-based GET Fund, Extantia Capital, and Bayern Kapital who see strong growth potential in electrified logistics and commercial vehicle fleets.
With the fresh capital, EcoG aims to further scale its charging platform and accelerate the international expansion of commercial fast-charging infrastructure. The company also plans a new testing and development center in Bavaria, where megawatt-charging (charging for electric trucks) and charging hubs will be tested under real-world conditions together with hardware and logistics partners. The Munich team is developing the essential operating system for commercial fast-charging infrastructure - software that enables manufacturers to build fast-charging stations and operators to manage charging hubs.
“The early years of e-mobility are now successfully behind us. The next phase is professionalization combined with sustainable growth, for example at logistics depots," Jörg Heuer, CEO and co-founder of EcoG. "This is no longer a future trend but increasingly the foundation of business - companies like Amazon are already among the largest CPOs worldwide. This financing round shows how quickly the market is developing. Our technology puts us at the forefront of enabling the transition to efficient, standardized charging infrastructure.”
Studies by Fraunhofer ISI and the Oeko-Institut show that 40–50% of all heavy-duty trucks in Europe travel fewer than 300 kilometers per day. These are distances feasible with battery-electric vehicles, provided charging is available where the vehicles already spend time: in depots, company yards, or logistics locations. These usage profiles make depot-based fast charging a key lever for lower cost and decarbonized road freight transport.
“As an EV driver I know very well that EV charging has a serious reliability and interoperability problem. EcoG's operating system has successfully shown to solve this. They have built a mission-critical platform and become an indispensable partner to OEMs, powering the future of EV charging," added Carlota Ochoa Neven Du Mont, Principal at Extantia and EcoG board member.
