🔍 Are Oil companies the Fastest Growing players in EV Charging? ⚡ Over the past two years, Oil & Gas companies have emerged as key drivers in the EV charging market. While they weren’t the first movers, they’ve made strategic acquisitions of established players to grow rapidly and minimize risk—powered by their strong capital resources. According to Gireve: ▪ Nearly 2 GW of EV charging infrastructure was deployed in just two years. ▪ Ultra-fast charging accounts for ~2/3 of the total power installed—highlighting a focus on speed and efficiency. 📊 Competition Heats Up The European market is witnessing fierce competition among the top three Oil players: Shell: Dominates the AC market since acquiring newmotion in 2017. bp: Strengthened its network with bp pulse TotalEnergies: Built and expanded with acquisitions like G2mobility and Source London. 📍 From Local to Global Initially focused on their home markets, these companies are now pushing into new regions: Switzerland: Shell acquired evpass in 2023. Spain: TotalEnergies acquired Wenea's chargers earlier this year. 💡 What’s Next? Oil companies’ ability to scale through acquisitions is reshaping the EV charging market and intensifying competition for Charge Point Operators (CPOs). At FLEXECHARGE, we see this as a signal: ▪ The focus on ultra-fast charging is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity. ▪ Partnerships and innovations will decide who leads the next phase of EV infrastructure growth, where new, serious challenges, like Grid Congestion, are arising. 👉 What do you think will be the next big move in the EV charging market? Do you agree that Oil & Gas companies are in a great position to dominate the fast-charging hubs-race? Will acquisitions continue to dominate, or will innovation take the lead?

🚛⚡ Electrifying freight: Is the industry ready for the Big Shift? Europe’s electric truck market is accelerating at an unprecedented pace—growing nearly fivefold in just two years, according to Bloomberg. This surge signals a monumental step toward decarbonizing freight and creating a more sustainable logistics future. But with opportunity comes complexity. For all the progress, cracks are starting to appear in the buildout of the complex supply chains and the technology-development efforts needed to support a mass market for electric trucks. Infrastructure challenges, grid constraints, and competing technologies make this transition complex. Fleet operators, Charge Point Operators (CPOs), and energy leaders face a critical question: how do we scale this transformation effectively and profitably? At FLEXECHARGE, we understand that the success of electrifying freight hinges on smarter solutions. From optimizing charging strategies to managing grid loads and future-proofing infrastructure, we help businesses turn challenges into opportunities and ensure the shift to electric freight doesn’t just stay on track—it takes the fast lane. 🚀 What do you see as the biggest hurdle—or opportunity—for the electric freight revolution? Share your insights below and join the conversation. Let’s drive the change together. 🌍⚡ 🔗 Link to the full article is in the comments. #FutureOfMobility #SustainableTransport #EVTrucks #LogisticsInnovation #ElectricVehicles
