Breda (August 21, 2023)- Opcharge, the Dutch provider of charging solutions for the public and semi-public market, is proud to announce the acquisition of Easycharge, a charging station operator for the semi-public market.
Takeover charging points
The share of electric and hybrid cars in the Netherlands is growing. As a result, demand for charging solutions is also rising. In addition to acquiring all shares in Easycharge, Opcharge is taking over 500 charging stations, with a pipeline of another 500. This addition enables Opcharge to offer a reliable charging experience to more customers and to help meet the rising demand.
Position semi-public market
Opcharge CEO Cyriel van Bree emphasizes the importance of the acquisition for Opcharge. “With this acquisition, we aim to significantly strengthen our position in the semi-public sector, in addition to our activities in the public market. We believe that consolidation could begin in the short term as a result of rising interest rates and the limited availability of capital. While we do not want to force this, we are actively looking for opportunities to make additional acquisitions.”
