Wirelane

What Wirelane does

Wirelane GmbH is a Munich-headquartered, full-service provider of EV charging infrastructure founded in 2016, operating across five European countries (Germany, France, Netherlands, Switzerland, and one additional market). The company combines proprietary charging hardware (eichrechtskonforme stations with integrated radar sensors and Tap Payment modules), the WirelaneOS CPO operator backend platform, and a turnkey services layer covering planning, installation, operation, billing, and remote maintenance. It sells turnkey deployments and white-label solutions to enterprise customers across hospitality, healthcare, municipalities, and real estate, while also serving individual EV drivers through a mobile app with Hubject and eClearing roaming and ad-hoc QR-code charging.

The company monetizes through a diversified model: charging hardware sales, kWh-based transaction fees, recurring WirelaneOS enterprise subscriptions, and a distinctive capital-intensive CPO model — particularly in healthcare (Asklepios, SANA Kliniken) and select hotel partners (e.g., Motel One, NOVUM Hospitality) — where Wirelane absorbs 100% of hardware and operating costs in exchange for long-term operating rights and transaction revenue. Distribution blends direct enterprise sales, a Fachpartner installer network, and self-service channels. The company has raised approximately €29 million across multiple funding rounds since 2016 (notably an €18M Series B in 2021 led by ABACON with HTGF participation, and an €11M Series B extension in 2023) and has executed two acquisitions: On Charge GmbH (August 2023) and Ladegrün (August 2025).

Wirelane's go-to-market is anchored by a deep reference customer base including large industrials (VW, Vattenfall, Bouygues), hotel chains (Motel One, NOVUM, Leonardo, MEININGER, DSR), hospitals (Asklepios, SANA), real estate operators (Union Investment), and newer fitness-sector partners (FitX, EASYFITNESS). Capital-light scaling is enabled by an asset-management partnership with Luxcara (financing up to 2,600 charging points) and a strategic Adecco partnership (planned 1,500 charging points). The company has accumulated meaningful regulatory and certification assets — most notably the PTB Baumusterprüfbescheinigung for contactless tap payment — and operates with 51-100 employees from its Munich headquarters.

Direct peers

• ChargePoint: ChargePoint operates one of the largest global EV charging networks, providing both charging hardware and a network-software platform (similar to WirelaneOS) for site hosts and operators. It is a direct competitor in the enterprise CPO software and managed-services space where Wirelane plays.
• Virta: Virta is a European EV charging SaaS and operator platform that white-labels its software to charge point operators and utilities. It competes head-on with WirelaneOS as a CPO backend and shares European enterprise/hospitality customers.
• Compleo Charging Solutions: Compleo is a German manufacturer of AC and DC charging stations and charging software for fleet, retail, and depot applications. It is a direct peer on the hardware side of Wirelane's offering, particularly for Eichrecht-compliant stations in the DACH market.
• Allego: Allego is a European pan-continental CPO operating charging hubs across multiple countries with its own proprietary backend platform and roaming integrations. It overlaps directly with Wirelane in geography, customer profile (municipalities, real estate, retail), and platform-based business model.
• has·to·be: has·to·be is an Austrian-headquartered EV charging software provider offering a white-label CPO platform used across Europe. It is a direct competitor to WirelaneOS, particularly with utilities and large real estate operators.
• Ebee Mobility: Ebee is a Berlin-based EV charging hardware/software provider and a named Wirelane partner (via NXP Semiconductors collaboration on anti-'Schwarzladen' technology). It is a directly comparable German CPO with overlapping regulatory and software capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• E.ON Drive: E.ON Drive is the EV charging arm of E.ON, a major European utility offering workplace, fleet, and public charging with its own software platform. It competes with Wirelane across multiple enterprise segments and benefits from E.ON's utility-scale infrastructure.
• Ionity: Ionity is a European high-power charging (HPC) joint venture among automakers (including VW) operating a pan-European fast-charging network. It does not directly target Wirelane's hotel/healthcare verticals but competes for enterprise charging partnerships with automakers like VW, who also appear in Wirelane's customer list.
• Vattenfall InCharge: Vattenfall InCharge is the EV charging business of Swedish utility Vattenfall, which is also a named Wirelane customer. It offers in-house charging solutions across Europe and represents an incumbent competitor that could insource work it currently outsources to Wirelane.
• EnBW mobility+: EnBW, one of Germany's largest utilities, operates the EnBW mobility+ network of public and semi-public charging stations and sells charging solutions to enterprises. It is a broader incumbent that overlaps with Wirelane in hospitality, real estate, and municipality deployments but with deeper grid and balance-sheet resources.
