Wattif EV acquires Mer's Norwegian portfolio to fuel European expansion
Wattif EV has expanded its operations by acquiring Mer’s Norwegian business customer portfolio. The deal strengthens the company’s position in the commercial sector and supports its rapid growth plans. With over 60,000 charging points now in place, Wattif is pushing ahead in Europe’s electric vehicle market. The acquisition builds on Wattif’s strong start to 2026, which saw positive EBITDA in the Nordic region. Celine Troye Hopsdal, Managing Director of Wattif Nordics, described the move as a natural progression in their growth strategy. The company also reported an 85% year-over-year increase in its charging business during the same period.
Andreas Strand, CEO of Wattif EV, credited this success to a focus on scale, operational efficiency, and disciplined expansion. Meanwhile, Lukas Littmann, Managing Director of Wattif Europe GmbH, pointed to rising demand for charging infrastructure, particularly in Germany. The deal not only broadens Wattif’s customer base but also accelerates its push into new markets. Wattif now operates more than 60,000 charging points across its markets. The acquisition of Mer’s Norwegian portfolio reinforces its commercial presence and sets the stage for further expansion. Analysts suggest the company remains well-positioned for continued profitable growth in Europe.
