Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Shell Recharge (formerly NewMotion): Shell-owned EV charging network and roaming platform operating across Europe including Belgium. Comparable to Watt's Next on the charging card, roaming, and CPO software dimensions but as a much larger incumbent with energy-supply integration.
• Fastned: Large European fast-charging network operator with stations across Belgium and the EU. Overlaps with Watt's Next on the EV charging and B2B/fleet axis but focuses on highway fast charging rather than residential or V2G; included as a broader incumbent shaping the Belgian competitive context.

Direct peers

• Smappee: Belgian-headquartered smart energy management and EV charging company offering the Smappee EV Base, Infinity system, and CPO platform. Directly comparable to Watt's Next in Belgian geography, residential HEMS focus, and combined hardware + SaaS business model.
• Zaptec: Norwegian manufacturer of AC smart chargers including the V2G-capable Zaptec Pro. Comparable on AC V2G hardware, target customer (residential, business, fleet), and ISO 15118-20 standard support; also an explicit supplier to Watt's Next, making the commercial overlap unusually direct.
• Allego: Pan-European public EV charging network operator with V2G pilot projects across multiple countries. Comparable to Watt's Next on the V2G/smart charging CPO axis and on serving Belgian and EU customers, though Allego operates at significantly larger scale with public capital backing.
• Last Mile Solutions: Dutch provider of white-label EV charging and energy management software for charge point operators across Europe. Closely comparable to Watt's Next on the CPO platform layer and on serving roaming/transaction-based business models, though at substantially larger scale.
• EVBox: Major European EV charging hardware and software provider (AC and DC, including V2G-capable units) headquartered in the Netherlands. Comparable to Watt's Next across product portfolio and target customers, though at much larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Alfen: Dutch manufacturer of EV charging stations (including V2G-ready units), energy storage systems, and grid solutions. Comparable to Watt's Next across AC charging hardware, stationary batteries, and integrated energy management — though Alfen is a publicly listed manufacturer rather than a Belgian-focused integrator.
• Jedlix: Dutch smart charging and V2G platform operating across Europe. Highly comparable to Watt's Next on the V2G/smart charging software axis and similar in scale and focus, though Jedlix is software-only without the Belgian field installation footprint.

Emerging players

• Peblar: Dutch emerging manufacturer of AC smart charging points with V2G capability and integrated load balancing. Comparable to Watt's Next's Peblar product line on hardware profile and target customer; also a current supplier, making the relationship both a partnership and a competitive adjacency.
