Vattenfall InCharge acquires Nima Energy´s ultra-fast charging business
Vattenfall InCharge has signed an agreement to acquire Nima Energy’s Swedish fast-charging business. The acquisition contains 178 ultra-fast charging points and 254 planned charging points. Thereby, Vattenfall is strengthening the position as a leading supplier of an extensive public charging network in Sweden.
The acquisition will significantly enhance Vattenfall’s charging footprint in key metropolitan areas, including Stockholm and Malmö.
"More drivers are switching to electric vehicles and expect charging to be available wherever they travel. This acquisition will give our customers increased access to fast and reliable charging in more locations while strengthening our position in Sweden’s fastest-growing charging markets," says Henrik Nordström, Director Vattenfall E-Mobility Sweden.
Nima Energy currently operates 178 high-power charging points at 16 locations in Sweden, offering charging capacities of up to 300–400 kW. In addition, 254 ultra-fast charging points across 36 new locations are planned for development.
The acquisition also supports Vattenfall’s long-term ambition to develop a leading and profitable charging business in Europe under the Vattenfall InCharge brand. Vattenfall InCharge has today more than 48,500 charging points across Sweden, Netherlands and Germany, of which 7,500 charging points in Sweden.
"This acquisition is an important step in executing our European growth strategy. By combining Nima’s strong local footprint with Vattenfall’s scale, expertise and long-term commitment to fossil-free mobility, we can accelerate expansion and improve the charging experience for customers across Sweden," says Fabian Hagmann, Vice President BU E-Mobility, Vattenfall.
Founded in 2020, Nima Energy has built a strong reputation within ultra-fast charging.
“It has been an extraordinary journey to build Nima Energy into the company it is today. We are immensely proud of the team, the network and the market position we have created together. We also firmly believe that the next phase can be even more exciting, and that Vattenfall is the right long-term owner to support Nima Energy reach its full potential” says Marcus Landelin, CEO and Co-founder of Nima Energy.
“Nima has built an impressive ultra-fast charging network in attractive locations across Sweden, making it a strong addition to Vattenfall InCharge’s existing infrastructure. We are pleased to welcome Nima’s talented employees and look forward to continuing to provide Nima’s customers with the high level of service they expect. Together, we can accelerate the expansion of charging infrastructure and support the growing transition to electric mobility across Sweden,” says Henrik Nordström.
