Belgium’s Scoptvision bags €1M to lead the charge in collective EV energy management

Scoptvision, a Leuven-based company specialising in smart charging control for electric vehicles, has raised €1 million in growth capital.

Scoptvision’s software turns any charging station into an intelligently controlled device — regardless of brand or model. This sets it apart from competitors, often tied to specific hardware or limited optimisation algorithms. 

Thanks to a self-learning algorithm, Scoptvision automatically determines the optimal charging time, power, and cost, taking into account user comfort and the needs of the overall power grid. This results in higher efficiency, lower costs, reduced operational risks for charge point operators, and a seamless user experience. 

“Our technology transforms any charger into a smart charger, regardless of the brand,” explains CEO  Lars Cappelle. 

“Our key advantage lies in the scalability and affordability of our solution, which is critical in the home charging segment. The control happens via the cloud, with no need for expensive  local hardware.” 

According to Scoptvision, energy management is still too often approached as an individual need of the end user seeking more control. As a result, providers typically offer local energy management solutions, often directly from the charging station manufacturer. Scoptvision sees this as a short-term fix. 

However, the true potential lies in collective control. As the number of charging points increases, so does their impact on the grid. By managing charging infrastructure intelligently, providers can contribute to grid stability, avoid peak loads, and buffer excess renewable energy.

To make this possible, Scoptvision offers white-label software that enables charging providers to start smart switching today—under their own brand. This helps them avoid the need for drastic retrofits in the future. 

“The energy transition requires not only sustainable generation but also smart control,” says  Scoptvision. 

“Those who proactively embrace collective energy management today will avoid costly downtime and grid overload penalties tomorrow. In addition, new business models emerge—without  compromising end-user comfort.” 

Scoptvision’s technology was already integrated in 2024 via partners such as Blossom (Telenet  Group), Van Mossel Energy, Optimile, Road, and Energyking. Belgian regulations, including the capacity tariff and the elimination of the reverse meter, accelerated adoption.

 “We see Belgium as a frontrunner—what works here can be replicated elsewhere,” says CTO Kristof Borgions. The new funding round gives Scoptvision the power to commercialise its software abroad, starting with the  Netherlands and Germany. 

For this round, Scoptvision deliberately chose JK Invest, a Belgian investment fund with deep expertise in scaling B2B SaaS companies. 

“We weren’t just looking for a financier—we wanted a partner who understands us and dares to build with us,” says CEO Lars Cappelle. 

Belgium is increasingly positioning itself as a leader in the European energy transition. The combination of a rapidly electrifying corporate vehicle market and a complex energy tariff structure creates fertile ground for innovation. 

Scoptvision remains firmly rooted in Leuven, where it has been located since April 2025 in De Hoorn.  The city, with its strong ecosystem of startups and scaleups and its role as a European climate city,  provides the ideal breeding ground for further growth.
