What LIBREO does

LIBREO GmbH, founded in 2018 in Kitzingen, Germany by Bernhard Beck (founder of BELECTRIC and holder of 120+ patents), designs, manufactures, and operates EV charging infrastructure systems for B2B customers in the German-speaking market. The company sells a unified hardware line (LIBREO WALLBOX, SLIM, DUO, and MOBIL charging stations) manufactured in Germany under ISO 9001, paired with a proprietary software platform comprising LIBREO CORE (central optimization engine), LIBREO Portal (administration, billing, ESG/CSRD reporting), and the LIBREO Smartphone App for user authorization and personalized charging profiles. The stack is anchored by SECURECHARGE®, a closed-system security architecture that avoids open-protocol (OCPP) vulnerabilities, and is hosted on Microsoft Azure with BSI C5 attestation.

Technically, LIBREO differentiates on integrated dynamic load management, forecast-based solar optimization (Solarstromoptimierer), and grid load coordination (Netzlastoptimierer) that interfaces with grid operators, plus a Plug & Play pre-wiring system that separates infrastructure from active hardware. Charging modules are modular and OTA-upgradeable from MID-compliant to Eichrecht (legally calibrated) metering without station replacement, and the system is steuerrechtskonform for tax-free employee charging.

Commercially, LIBREO generates revenue from charging hardware sales, software subscriptions (e.g., 39 EUR/month Wallbox rental), installation services, hotel Charge-as-a-Service managed offerings, and THG-Quotenvermarktung transaction fees. The company targets six primary segments — corporate fleets, real estate/WEG, hotels, automotive service providers, public sector/government, and events — via direct enterprise sales, field sales, and digital lead generation, with named customers including Riedel Bau AG and Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. The 25-person team supports a Germany-only operating footprint with design awards (Red Dot 2025, German Design Award Gold 2026) reinforcing a premium, Made-in-Germany brand position.
