IN Brief:
- eMabler has raised €5.5m in Series A funding for European expansion.
- The round was led by Greencode Ventures, with additional investors and public funding support.
- The company is developing grid-aware charging software for retailers, energy companies, parking operators, and fleets.
eMabler has raised €5.5m in Series A funding to expand its EV charging software platform across Europe and develop further grid-aware charging capabilities.
The round was led by Greencode Ventures, with participation from Swiss Post Ventures, Rethink Ventures, and Helkama Kiinteistöt. The financing also includes a €1m Digitalisation and Innovation Loan from Finnvera, supported by the European Investment Fund and the InvestEU Guarantee Programme, alongside a €1m grant and loan package from Business Finland’s Young Innovative Company programme.
The Finnish company provides software that allows businesses to integrate EV charging into their own digital services. Its customers include retailers, energy companies, parking operators, and other organisations that want charging to operate inside existing apps, payment systems, loyalty programmes, and operational platforms.
eMabler is already active in the Nordic market. Finland’s S Group operates its ABC Charging network on the platform, while Neste, AimoPark, TimePark, and EasyPark also use the technology to combine charging with parking, customer services, fleet management, payment flows, and digital reporting.
The new funding will support expansion into Central Europe, with Germany and the UK identified as focus markets. It will also support further development of hardware-agnostic charging software that can optimise charging around electricity prices, network conditions, and customer requirements.
The charging market is moving beyond charger installation as the main delivery challenge. Operators now need systems that manage access control, roaming, tariffs, energy use, billing, reporting, reimbursement, maintenance data, and load management across mixed charger estates. Where those functions sit in disconnected systems, operating costs rise and customer experience deteriorates.
Grid-aware charging is becoming central to that software layer. Unmanaged EV charging can create local peaks at depots, workplaces, parking hubs, and residential clusters, especially where multiple vehicles plug in at similar times. Software that can schedule, throttle, price, or prioritise charging gives operators a way to manage available capacity more effectively and reduce pressure on constrained connections.
Communication standards and energy-management tools are already shaping the next stage of infrastructure deployment. Recent developments around expanded ISO 15118 charging support underlined the role of vehicle-to-charger communication, while modelling for lower-cost truck charging showed how PV, battery storage, and energy management can reduce depot charging costs.
Fleet and commercial charging add further complexity. Billing, driver authentication, reimbursement, charger availability, maintenance schedules, and load allocation have to align with vehicle operations. A poorly integrated software layer can leave chargers technically installed but operationally unreliable, especially where fleet availability depends on predictable overnight or shift-based charging.
eMabler’s API-led model reflects how charging is becoming embedded within wider business processes. Parking operators want charging linked to parking sessions. Retailers want charging connected to customer accounts and loyalty platforms. Energy companies need tariff and flexibility integration. Fleet operators require charging data to align with vehicles, drivers, routes, and cost centres.
The funding round strengthens the control layer behind charging infrastructure. Hardware deployment remains essential, but utilisation, grid integration, payment reliability, and customer experience will increasingly determine which networks and commercial charging services remain viable. In that environment, software is no longer a back-office convenience. It is part of the electrical infrastructure proposition.
