CLEVER

What CLEVER does

CLEVER A/S is Denmark's largest electric mobility service provider, operating an integrated EV-charging ecosystem that spans consumer subscriptions, home and public charging hardware, enterprise fleet solutions, residential (housing-association) infrastructure, and retail electricity supply. Its core product family is built on Clever One, an unlimited-charging subscription (849 DKK/month with included home box, 999 DKK/month without); Clever Box, a purchased home charger with per-kWh public-network billing; Clever Go, a no-subscription pay-per-use offering; and Clever Power, an electricity-supply plan that gives a 1:1 offset on home-charging consumption when paired with a Clever solution. Enterprise variants include Clever One Business and Business Van (company cars and vans), Clever Key (pool/fleet charging cards) and Clever Link (employee private-EV consumption separation). Clever also operates Denmark's largest charging network of 62,530+ points with 1,663 fast/rapid chargers and roaming access to 50+ countries, deployed along highways, in cities, at workplaces, shopping centers and housing associations.

The technical backbone is the Intelligent Opladning scheduling engine, which ingests Nord Pool electricity spot prices, grid-load signals and vehicle telemetry via the Enode integration to produce departure-time-aware, lowest-cost, lowest-CO2 charging plans across the home-box estate. A 2026-launched V2X pilot with Polestar extends this into bidirectional charging, testing vehicle-to-home, vehicle-to-grid and emergency-backup use cases on Polestar 4 DC wallboxes ahead of a planned commercial over-the-air rollout. The commercial layer is a multi-channel go-to-market combining direct self-serve ecommerce (clever.dk and the Clever app), a dealer network spanning 30+ automotive brands (Audi, BMW, VW, Polestar, Volvo, Mercedes, Hyundai, Kia, BYD and others), a dedicated enterprise field-sales motion for fleets and workplaces, and a housing-association channel for shared residential infrastructure.

The company is privately held and was acquired in 2025 by Danish energy distribution group Andel, which committed to preserve Clever's distinctive fully self-managed operating model (no bosses, no middle managers, no hierarchical titles) across roughly 500 employees organized in over 50 autonomous teams. Clever is headquartered in Copenhagen (Støberigade 14) with a secondary office in Aarhus, and announced a 1 billion DKK capital plan (June 2026) to install 3,000 additional charging points nationwide.
