Austrian energy provider Wien Energie has completed the integration of 500 public charging points into its network following the acquisition of Ella GmbH & Co KG. The infrastructure is located across Lower Austria, Upper Austria, and Burgenland.
The acquisition increases Wien Energie's own charging network by approximately 20 per cent. The company now operates over 3,000 public charging points, supplemented by 24,000 partner stations across Austria.
Wien Energie follows a dual-track growth strategy combining organic expansion, such as the addition of 1,000 points in Vienna, with inorganic growth through acquisitions like Ella.
The seven-member Ella team has been fully integrated into Wien Energie. Financial terms of the deal remain undisclosed.
Users can access the new charging points via the Tanke network or roaming providers. Pricing for Tanke services includes the kWh Go tariff at €0.43 per kWh, the kWh Smart tariff at €0.40 per kWh, and the kWh Pro tariff at €0.36 per kWh.
