↑ 3%Monta acquires ABB Nordic's EV charge point management software customer contracts through Vourity deal. Monta says it has acquired the charge point management software customer contracts operated by Vourity, ABB E-mobility's Nordic subsidiary, in a move that expands the company's CPMS footprint in Northern Europe. The deal is not an acquisition of ABB E-mobility itself or of Vourity as a whole - it is specifically a transfer of CPMS software customer contracts. According to Monta, ABB E-mobility selected Monta to take over those relationships because it viewed the company as the strongest CPMS option in the Nordics for continuity of service. Charge point management software is the layer that operators use to monitor chargers, manage access, control pricing, handle uptime issues and, increasingly, tie charging hardware into broader energy-management systems. So while this is a software-contract story, it matters at the infrastructure level: CPMS platforms are becoming one of the real control points in the EV charging business, and the market has been drifting toward consolidation for a while now. Monta is leaning into that trend. The company says the acquisition is part of its broader European consolidation strategy and argues that operators increasingly want to standardize on established, full-featured platforms rather than smaller regional tools. Monta says its platform now supervises more than 260,000 commercial charge points, supports more than 800 charge point models, and gives clients and drivers access to more than 1.3 million public charge points across Europe and the US. The company also says it operates directly in the US and 11 European countries, and in 32 markets total through partners. "This acquisition reflects our ambition to be the leading CPMS platform in Europe," said CEO Casper Rasmussen. Monta says the transition will bring the acquired customers onto its own software platform, including its newer Monta AI capabilities, which it says are designed to help operators diagnose issues faster and run charging networks more efficiently.
Monta acquires Nordic CPMS contracts from ABB and reinforces market changes: "fewer competitors, greater specialization" By Ailén Pedrotti - March 25, 2026 Reading time: 5 minutes The company acquires Vourity's customer contracts, a transaction that underscores the consolidation of the European electric vehicle charging software market, where trust and a proven track record of collaboration are as crucial as the technology itself. A detailed analysis of the transaction follows, along with market insights from Casper Rasmussen, CEO and co-founder of Monta. The European market for charging point management software (CPMS) is beginning to take shape. Monta announces the acquisition of the software contracts managed by Vourity, a subsidiary of ABB E-mobility in the Nordic countries, in an operation that, beyond the technical transfer, reveals an increasingly clear dynamic in the sector: consolidation is no longer a hypothesis, but a process underway. In an exclusive interview with Mobility Portal, Casper Rasmussen, CEO and co-founder of the company, summarizes the current state of the sector: "The sector is at a point where there has been significant investment and rapid adoption of electric vehicles in some regions, but it is now also entering a consolidation phase. There will be fewer players, but they will be more specialized." This definition marks the transition from a stage of accelerated growth to one in which efficiency, focus, and specialization begin to define the most competitive players. To be more precise, ABB notes that Monta's selection is based on its ability to "guarantee continuity and quality of service" for existing customers. However, an in-depth analysis reveals a less visible but crucial variable. According to Rasmussen: "For us, the technological migration is the easiest part; it's what we do every day. What really makes this transition exciting is the opportunity to welcome these operators to the Monta ecosystem and help them get the most out of their charging infrastructure. In this case, the operation doesn't happen in a vacuum." The companies have maintained a close collaborative relationship for years, with joint projects in complex environments such as Copenhagen Airport, where ABB provided the hardware and Monta the software layer. This shared history reduces friction in the migration process and provides predictability for customers. The message is clear: in a market undergoing consolidation, acquisitions are not explained solely by technical capabilities, but also by prior relationships, proven interoperability, and accumulated trust. Specialization and redefinition of the value chain This measure also confirms a structural change in the sector. A decade ago, companies starting out in the electric vehicle charging business operated in an integrated manner, combining hardware, software, and installation. Currently, the value chain tends to become segmented. In this context, Monta reinforces its positioning as a software provider, focused on network management, payments, energy and user experience, leaving out areas such as field services or warranties. "It's time to specialize and become truly good at what each of us does. Every company should choose its area and perfect it. That's what we're doing, and other market players are too," adds the CEO of Monta. Consolidation driven by operational efficiency This operation is part of a broader trend: the transition from a phase of accelerated growth to a scenario in which operational efficiency is becoming increasingly important. The increase in the volume of installed infrastructure, the pressure for profitability and the complexity of the operation are forcing operators to turn to more robust and specialized platforms. It is also worth mentioning that technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last six months, and artificial intelligence in particular. In this regard, Casper Rasmussen explains: "Now the challenge is to integrate it correctly, establish clear limits (protection mechanisms), and build trust with users. It's not about replacing everything overnight. We are at a very interesting point in technological development." Meanwhile, software vendors are looking to expand through agreements, integrations, and selective acquisitions. A market in the selection phase The acquisition of these contracts anticipates a scenario in which the European CPMS market will tend to concentrate on a smaller number of relevant platforms. It is worth mentioning that, according to Monta's CEO, the United States is in a situation similar to that of Europe five years ago. They face similar problems to those faced by the old continent, although they have the advantage of learning from the European experience, even if they do not avoid all the mistakes. "A lot of hardware has been installed without prioritizing quality or location, simply for reasons of cost or availability. Now they are paying the consequences," he explains at this point. There were also many projects funded with grants, even in places where they were not needed. With the recent political change, that model has slowed down and now operators must focus on profitability. "This means choosing locations and hardware better, because they will have to live with those decisions for years," he emphasizes. Likewise, in this new balance, the actors must clearly define their role within the value chain and compete not only in implementation, but also in efficiency, reliability and management capacity. In that context, trust - operational, technical and relational - emerges as a key factor. Because in a market where customer migration will become increasingly frequent, retention capacity becomes a key competitive differentiator.

Monta launches Monta AI: the proactive intelligence layer for EV charging operations. Monta has launched Monta AI, a built-in operational intelligence layer that proactively spots issues, recommends actions, and lets operators query performance, pricing, expansion, and energy in natural language, at no extra cost for customers. Monta AI continuously analyses network operations in the background, proactively surfacing insights, anomalies, and recommended actions. This includes identifying issues such as firmware mismatches that affect reliability, detecting and instantly acting on fraud activity, and guiding operators on corrective measures. At the same time, Monta AI allows operators to ask natural-language questions across operations, performance, pricing, expansion, and energy, such as asking the system to suggest potential new charging sites based on local EV equipment and competitive infrastructure. Embedded directly into the Monta platform, Monta AI transforms complex operational data into clear, decision-ready insights that can be acted on immediately by any team member, not just specialists. The capability is included for all Monta customers at no additional cost, reflecting Monta's view that AI-driven operational intelligence should be a baseline capability rather than a premium add-on. Casper Rasmussen, CEO and co-founder of Monta, said, "The real opportunity with AI isn't just doing existing tasks faster. It's removing operational constraints that have limited how charging networks can scale. Today, operators are expected to deliver near-perfect reliability while managing exponentially more hardware, data, and complexity with the same-sized teams. Monta AI shifts that burden from people to software by continuously understanding what's happening across the network and proactively surfacing the actions that will have the biggest impact." Today, a single failed charging session can require hours of manual investigation across OCPP logs, firmware versions, payment data, and hardware documentation, often handled by a small number of experts. As networks grow three, five, or tenfold, this operating model becomes costly, slow, and fragile, making it impossible to deliver the level of reliability expected of critical infrastructure. Monta AI addresses this bottleneck by synthesising fragmented operational signals into a single intelligence layer. The system explains what is happening across the network, diagnoses root causes, and recommends concrete actions, while keeping human operators firmly in control of execution. These capabilities are already delivering measurable results in production environments. In one case, an operator saw a DC charger's success rate increase from 31.2% to 98.3% in just 25 seconds after Monta AI identified a firmware mismatch responsible for repeated failures. Across the EV charging lifecycle, Monta AI supports decision-making and proactive action in multiple areas. It enables faster operational diagnostics by identifying root causes of failed charging sessions using live OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) logs, firmware data, payment context, and user feedback, and by guiding teams toward the most effective next steps. "Monta AI is fast-tracking our case resolutions for many of the basic issues, freeing up time for our team to handle the more complex issues. Overall, this gives our customers an enhanced service," said Arron Rothwell, Operations Director at Rolec. It improves overall network performance by detecting recurring issues and performance patterns across chargers, sites, and regions, helping operators increase reliability and uptime at scale. Monta AI also informs pricing strategies, analyses utilisation trends, and identifies underserved areas or potential new deployment opportunities. In parallel, it explains smart-charging behaviour, energy constraints, and load management factors that affect network performance, while supporting customer service by proactively resolving 79% of driver queries without the need for human support intervention, enabling real-time, always-available troubleshooting. What previously required multiple tools, specialist knowledge, and long investigation cycles can now begin with a single question from a single user. Monta AI is built on AI systems already running in production across the Monta platform, including automated support resolution and AI-powered diagnostics such as the NOC (Network Operations Centre) Agent. These capabilities are unified through a conversational interface and continuously improve as they learn from live network activity. The system is trained on one of the industry's richest operational datasets, spanning more than 260,000 connected charge points, three million monthly charging sessions, and 14,000 support requests per month across a unified global platform. Monta AI reflects a broader shift from reactive charging operations toward proactive systems by default. In the near term, Monta AI provides charge point operators with AI-powered support to troubleshoot charge points, understand performance issues, manage firmware updates, and adjust pricing. By analysing operational signals in real time, the system detects anomalies early and delivers clear, role-specific recommendations that enable teams to act faster and with greater confidence, without requiring deep technical expertise. Operational workflows such as maintenance actions, pricing changes, or firmware rollouts can be partially automated while keeping humans in control. Over time, Monta's ambition is to support fully autonomous charging operations, with software orchestrating fault resolution, optimisation, and network coordination end-to-end. "Our long-term ambition is to move EV charging from reactive operations to proactive systems by default. Monta AI is a major step in that direction, helping operators anticipate issues, act faster, and manage growing network complexity with confidence as they scale," concluded Rasmussen.
