Germany mobility startup ENAPI, a platform for centralised EV charging software, has raised €7.5M in a Seed funding round. The round was led by VC firm Voyager Ventures, with participation from existing investors Project A, Seedcamp, and Helloworld VC.
This latest investment builds on a €2.5M pre-seed round in early 2024, bringing total funding to €10M. ENAPI allows charge point operators and eMSPs to clear transaction and exchange data about sessions, making the infrastructure more efficient so that it can be scaled. ENAPI’s platform makes it easier for CPOs and eMSPs to communicate transaction data, informing drivers about charger reliability. The lack of information has been a barrier to the electrification of mobility so far; according to McKinsey Exploring consumer sentiment on electric-vehicle charging, 70% of EV drivers are dissatisfied with public EV charging infrastructure.
Jakob Kleihues, CEO and co-founder of ENAPI, commented: “Our mission is to make EV charging transactions seamless, efficient, and accessible.
“We want to make EV charging easier for everyone. Our platform makes payments and data transfer more efficient for every EV charging business so they can focus on advancing the EV revolution."
The funds will be used to improve and expand ENAPI’s software, expand its presence in Europe and the US, and hire technical staff.
Sierra Peterson, Founding Partner at Voyager Ventures, said: “ENAPI’s infrastructure is revolutionising how the EV charging industry collaborates, addressing fragmentation head-on.”
“Its technology is foundational to unlocking a seamless, scalable, and cost-effective charging network, and we are thrilled to partner with ENAPI as they expand globally.”
