What ChargeNet does
ChargeNet operates a peer-to-peer digital platform that connects owners of private EV truck charging infrastructure (warehouses, logistics hubs, retailers, construction sites) with fleet operators needing affordable charging at destinations rather than expensive public highway stations. Founded in 2021 and headquartered at the Connectr Innovation Lab on Cleantech Park Arnhem in the Netherlands, the company targets a structural gap in European road logistics: trucks spend most of the day at depots and customer sites, but those locations typically lack shared charging access, while public fast-charging is costly and grid-constrained. The platform integrates with existing charge points to handle authentication, reservation, session management, automated billing, and access control, supported by a web-based Location Dashboard for infrastructure owners, a Fleet Dashboard for carriers, and a Driver App on iOS and Android.
ChargeNet's core technology is a multi-sided marketplace layer rather than proprietary charging hardware. It enables contractual pricing proposals with fixed minimum capacity commitments, dynamic and per-kWh usage billing, and analytics on energy consumption and utilization. The company has extended its scope with ChargeBase, a mobile, solar-and-hydrogen-powered charging module co-developed with Volta Energy and AVIA Volt for off-grid construction sites and temporary locations. The platform claims up to 60% charging cost savings versus public/roaming alternatives for carriers and improved utilization for location owners.
Revenue mechanics are anchored on two streams: per-transaction platform fees on charging sessions and recurring subscription fees for platform access by location owners and carriers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led and bilateral, relying on direct recruitment of both sides of the marketplace, pilot demonstrations (Millenaar van Schaik under EU co-funding, IJmond aan Zet under Just Transition Fund support), industry events, and partnerships with logistics, construction, and energy players. The company is venture-backed, having secured seed funding in 2025 from Oost NL's Vroegefasefonds Gelderland, and is pre-revenue at the MVP/pilot stage with 1-10 employees.

ChargeNet competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- EVBox: Amsterdam-based EV charging hardware and software provider (and former employer of ChargeNet's CTO) with strong European depot and commercial-vehicle footprint. Directly comparable in EV charging CPMS functionality, target market (European fleet operators), and origin market (Netherlands).
- Gridserve: UK-based EV charging network and platform focused on destination and en-route charging, with proprietary CPMS and fleet offerings. Comparable as a destination-charging-focused CPMS targeting fleet and depot customers in Europe.
- Last Mile Solutions: Dutch-headquartered provider of EV charging management software (CPMS) and roaming services to charge point operators and mobility providers across Europe. Highly comparable in CPMS, billing, and roaming functionality, and originating from the same Dutch market.
- Heliox: Dutch-headquartered specialist in DC fast charging systems for heavy-duty electric vehicles (trucks and buses), with depot and opportunity charging solutions. Closely comparable because it also targets European EV truck charging infrastructure, including depot/destination sites.
Regional players
- GreenWay: One of the largest EV charging networks in Central and Eastern Europe, providing public and private charging with CPMS and billing software. Comparable in offering CPMS, billing, and roaming services to fleet operators, though primarily serving a different geography (Poland/CEE).
Broad incumbents
- Hubject: Berlin-based eRoaming platform connecting EV charging networks via a standardized inter-network protocol with billing and clearing services. Comparable as the dominant EV charging settlement, billing, and roaming intermediary in Europe, which ChargeNet could integrate with or compete against.
- Shell Recharge (formerly NewMotion): Shell-owned EV charging platform (originating in the Netherlands) with roaming, billing, and fleet services across Europe. Comparable as a Dutch-origin EV charging CPMS and roaming/billing platform serving fleet customers, though backed by a major oil major.
- ChargePoint: Largest independent EV charging network operator with extensive hardware and software (CPMS) offerings across North America and Europe. Highly comparable as a CPMS/billing platform, though its focus is broader passenger-vehicle and public charging rather than EV truck destination sharing.
- Vattenfall InCharge: Utility-owned EV charging network and CPMS platform operating across Northern Europe, including public and private depot charging for fleets. Comparable as a CPMS/billing provider with European depot-charging capabilities, though much broader in scope and capital base.
Emerging players
- Go Eve: Early-stage Irish startup developing shared EV charging solutions for commercial and fleet sites. Comparable as an emerging peer-to-peer/shared charging platform targeting fleets, though at a similar early stage and primarily UK/Ireland focused.
