In a significant consolidation of the European electric vehicle infrastructure market, Norwegian charging providers Eviny Fast Charging and Mer have announced their merger. The deal, which involves Mer—a subsidiary of energy giant Statkraft—positions the new joint entity as the largest provider of fast-charging services across Northern Europe.
Expanding Across the Nordics and Germany
According to official statements from both companies, the primary objective of the merger is to solidify their dominance in the Nordic countries, a region known for its high EV adoption rates. However, the expansion plans extend beyond Scandinavia; the new company is expected to integrate Mer's existing public charging operations in Germany in the near future.
This strategic move is set to streamline charging experiences for drivers and accelerate the deployment of high-speed infrastructure as the European Union pushes for stricter emissions standards and a faster transition to electric mobility.
