E-mobility wants to grow and is looking for an investor for this project: Statkraft, a Norwegian renewable energy producer, will acquire a 61 percent stake in the Munich-based startup. The young company from the state capital offers charging solutions for company fleets with an additional range of services. Eemobility hopes this partnership will provide momentum for its future growth goals.
"We are convinced that the commercial vehicle market will play an important role in the spread of electromobility in Germany. Statkraft has many years of experience in electromobility in Norway, which has the highest market share for electric vehicles worldwide. We would like to bring this experience to other European countries in collaboration with leading startups that we can support in scaling their businesses."
says Bjørn Holsen, Senior Vice President New Business at Statkraft. He continues:
"Eemobility is well positioned in Germany with its advanced product offering for employee fleets, and we look forward to further developing the company together with the founders."
Combining the energy transition with the transport transition
"Over the past four years, we have built an agile company that realizes our vision of intelligently connecting electric vehicles with the energy markets. With our charging solutions, we connect the energy transition with the transport transition,"
says Klaus Huber, one of the two founders alongside Robin Geisler.
Use Statkraft's expertise
“We see enormous potential to accelerate our future growth by leveraging Statkraft’s expertise in the established Norwegian electromobility market,”
supplemented Robin Geisler.
The contracts were signed on December 19, 2018. Statkraft stated that potential synergies between eeMobility and the company's German activities in energy management, energy supply, and the charging business in Norway are one of the reasons for the investment.
