FLEXECHARGE secures over €5 million investment to lead the flexibility revolution in EV charging
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK — September 8th 2025 – Danish energy-tech company FLEXECHARGE today announced the successful launch of the world’s first Virtual Power Plant (VPP) based on public high-power DC charging stations, in partnership with Recharge, the Nordic region's largest rapid charging network
This breakthrough marks the first time globally that ultra-fast public charging infrastructure has been aggregated and qualified to deliver flexibility services to the electricity grid — turning charging sites from pure energy consumers into dispatchable energy assets.
Developed with Fever as the Balancing Service Partner, the project enables Recharge’s fast-charging hubs to dynamically adjust charging load within seconds, participating in frequency regulation markets without impacting the EV driver experience.
This project proves that public ultra-fast charging can be more than infrastructure — it can actively stabilize the grid. By turning high-power chargers into flexible assets, we are opening the door to a completely new business model for CPOs worldwide.
Recharge, the largest high-power charging network in the Nordics, equipped with chargers from Alpitronic and Kempower, is the first CPO to deploy the solution. Both EVSE providers worked closely with FLEXECHARGE to meet the strict technical requirements, including responding to grid activation signals in under eight seconds.
The initial deployment covers 66 sites and over 500 high-power charge points in Sweden’s “SE3” grid region, which have now qualified to deliver frequency containment reserve (FCR) services. The system will enable Recharge to allocate part of its capacity to grid balancing, creating new revenues while supporting renewable integration.
This is a milestone not just for Recharge, but for the entire EV charging industry. With FLEXECHARGE’s technology, we can monetize flexibility while giving something back to the grid — without compromising the customer experience.
Key facts:
- World-first: First public DC charging network globally qualified as a Virtual Power Plant.
- Scale: 100 charging stations across 66 Swedish sites included in initial deployment.
- Technology partners: FLEXECHARGE (technical aggregator) and Fever Energy (balancing services).
- OEM support: Alpitronic and Kempower chargers adapted for fast-response flexibility.
- Impact: Grid stability, new CPO revenue streams, accelerated renewable integration.
With this milestone, FLEXECHARGE positions itself as the leading enabler of energy services for public fast-charging networks, with plans to expand VPP deployments into other grid regions and integrate with future battery storage systems.
