ChargeNode

ChargeNode (formally ChargeNode Group AB) is a Swedish electric-vehicle charging infrastructure group founded in 2018 and headquartered in Gothenburg. It describes itself as one of the Nordics' largest operators of property-adjacent charging, serving housing cooperatives (BRF), commercial property owners, companies, and transport and logistics fleets. The group is vertically integrated, acting both as a Charge Point Operator (CPO) and an e-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP), with its own software platform and charging hardware technology. The company was founded by Kristian Sandahl with the aim of solving limited electrical capacity in parking garages. Its first innovation was a patented charging beam that allowed several vehicles to share a central power unit through dynamic phase control. This approach reduces the need to upgrade a building's main fuse and lowers installation costs compared with individual charging boxes. ChargeNode has grown through a series of strategic acquisitions. In 2022 it acquired the charging operator Opigo AB, including the EVcore software platform. In 2024, after the charging operator Eways went bankrupt, ChargeNode took over operational responsibility for a significant number of its former customer contracts. In October 2025 it acquired the entire B2B corporate segment from the operator Mer Sweden (formerly Bee), covering thousands of charging points and strengthening its position in the property sector. At the start of 2025 the business was structurally separated. Hardware development was spun out into the newly formed company AmpSociety International AB, which focuses exclusively on next-generation charging hardware including the fifth-generation charging beam, Amp5. ChargeNode was streamlined into a pure service provider and operator. The group is managed through parent company ChargeNode Holding AB, with operational activities divided among subsidiaries including ChargeNode Europe AB (operator business and customer service), Opigo AB (software platform development and operation), AmpSociety International AB (hardware), Toggle Node AB (strategic technology development), CHARGE NODE AS (Norwegian subsidiary), and Överås Invest AB (intra-group management). ChargeNode markets charging as a service and offers tools such as an ROI calculator based on its own data from thousands of installations. It emphasizes 24/7 telephone support, first-contact resolution, and customer satisfaction, and works with customers such as Jula Logistics and Stena Fastigheter Malmö.

ChargeNode was founded in 2018 by Kristian Sandahl with the vision of solving the problem of limited electrical capacity in parking garages. The company's first innovation was a patented charging beam that enabled multiple vehicles to share a central power unit via dynamic phase control. This technology minimized the need to upgrade a property's main fuse and lowered installation costs compared with individual charging boxes. During the early 2020s the group carried out a series of strategic acquisitions to consolidate its market position. In 2022 it acquired the charging operator Opigo AB, which included the EVcore software platform. In 2024, after the charging operator Eways was declared bankrupt, ChargeNode took over operational responsibility for a significant number of its former customer contracts. In October 2025, ChargeNode acquired the entire B2B corporate segment from the operator Mer Sweden (formerly Bee). The deal covered thousands of charging points and reinforced ChargeNode's position as market leader in the property sector. At the start of 2025 a structural separation of the business was carried out. To streamline its offering, hardware development was spun out into the newly formed company AmpSociety International AB. This company focuses exclusively on next-generation charging hardware, including the fifth-generation charging beam called Amp5. ChargeNode was simultaneously streamlined into a pure service provider and operator. The group is managed through the parent company ChargeNode Holding AB. Operational activities are divided among several subsidiaries under ChargeNode Group AB: ChargeNode Europe AB (operator business and customer service), Opigo AB (development and operation of software platforms), AmpSociety International AB (development and production of charging hardware, Amp5), Toggle Node AB (strategic technology development), CHARGE NODE AS (the group's Norwegian subsidiary), and Överås Invest AB (intra-group management company). ChargeNode differentiates itself from traditional charging operators by developing the entire technical stack internally. On the software side, the group develops and operates its own Charge Point Management System (CPMS), primarily through the EVcore platform, which handles billing, monitoring and advanced load balancing. As an e-Mobility Service Provider (eMSP), it also provides end-user apps for payment and administration. On the hardware side, through subsidiary AmpSociety, it develops Amp5, a further development of the original charging beam. The technology is based on a central control unit dynamically distributing power across an aluminium rail, which minimizes the need to upgrade a property's main fuse and lowers installation costs compared with individual charging boxes.
