The Munich-based company EcoG has raised 16 million euros in a Series B round from GET Fund, Extantia, and Bayern Kapital, strengthening its position as one of the leading players in the infrastructure market for electric vehicle fleets. Founded in 2021, the team is building a universal operating platform for fast-charging stations, which already manages more than 25,000 charging systems worldwide.
Unlike traditional charging-station manufacturers, EcoG does not develop hardware but an intelligent software environment that unifies heterogeneous stations, network protocols, and communication standards within a single architecture. This enables equipment manufacturers and charging-network operators to quickly integrate new modules, update firmware, monitor load, and diagnose faults without physical intervention.
The startup’s key goal is to create an “Android for charging infrastructure” — an open ecosystem that connects station manufacturers, vehicle fleets, energy companies, and operators within one digital environment. EcoG’s platform already supports all major standards — from CCS and CHAdeMO to OCPP 2.0.1 — and is used not only in Europe but also in the United States and Asia.
The newly raised capital will be used for international expansion as well as the creation of a new testing and development center in Bavaria, which will become the technological core of EcoG’s future solutions. Special attention is being given to compatibility with renewable-energy networks and integration with fleet-management systems.
Investors view EcoG as a key element of Europe’s future energy infrastructure, where electric vehicles will cease to be just transportation and will become interactive nodes of smart energy grids.
