What Orange Charging does

Orange Charging B.V. is a Netherlands-based turnkey electric vehicle charging infrastructure provider established in 2019 as the dedicated EV charging subsidiary of family-owned Sakko Groep, a Dutch mobility business with over a century of history. Headquartered in Roosendaal and operating across the Netherlands and Belgium, the company delivers charging solutions to six primary B2B verticals: commercial real estate, tourism and recreation, healthcare, education, sports associations, and municipalities. Named customers include Brandweer Twente, Kraakman, Vesteda, Center Parcs, Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, Smurfit Kappa, Van Nelle Fabriek, AutoTaalGlas, Playdome Roosendaal, and more than 25 Dutch municipalities including Leiden, Amersfoort, Dordrecht, Alphen aan den Rijn, and Zaltbommel.

The offering is built on certified AC and DC chargers sourced from Ecotap (a Dutch manufacturer) and Autel (for which Orange Charging holds Premium Distributor status in Benelux, including access to chargers up to 1.2 MW). Operations are managed through the Electraclear backoffice platform, which provides real-time station monitoring, automated transaction processing, billing settlement, and usage analytics. Proprietary smart charging technology with dynamic load balancing distributes available electrical capacity across multiple charge points to avoid grid overload during peak periods such as stadium match days. Orange Charging is ElaadNL-certified, a requirement for Dutch municipal public-charging deployments.

The company's primary revenue model is a zero-investment 'exploitation' service: the customer provides parking space at no cost while Orange Charging funds, installs, operates, and maintains the infrastructure, earning transaction-based revenue per kWh consumed and sharing a portion of session revenue with the property owner. The published AC public tariff is €0.47 per kWh (valid from 1 January 2026 in reference municipalities). Supplementary revenue comes from direct hardware sales of Ecotap and Autel chargers. Sales execution combines sector-specialized field sales executives covering each vertical (including dedicated coverage for Belgium/Wallonia and Germany) with an inside-sales advisor handling SMB inbound. The company's stated strategic target is to operate 6,000 charging points across the Netherlands and Belgium by 2026.

Revenue model

1. Charging Station Exploitation / Operate Model: Orange Charging's core model is a turn-key exploitation service. The customer (property owner) provides parking spaces at no cost; Orange Charging funds the full investment in charging infrastructure, installs, operates, and maintains the network. Revenue is generated from the fees charged per charging session (per kWh). Customers can set their own charging sale price and receive a share of revenue. This is effectively a managed services + transaction fee model with no upfront cost to the customer.
2. Hardware Sales (Direct): For customers who prefer to purchase charging stations directly, Orange Charging also sells Ecotap and Autel chargers. Revenue from hardware sales is supplementary to the exploitation model.
