The deal reinforces DKV’s position in the European e-mobility market

The shares were acquired from BNP Paribas Fortis and AG Insurance. Financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed.

Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Ghent, Optimile develops and operates a modular software‑as‑a‑service platform for e‑mobility service providers and charging infrastructure operators. A leading player in Belgium’s e-mobility market, the company offers services such as authorisation, monitoring, access management and pan‑European roaming of charging points. In addition, Optimile operates a consumer‑facing solution under the brand Mobiflow.

Boosted by the agreement, DKV Mobility Group now manages around 1.5 million charge cards and tokens, as well as over 260,000 charge points, of which 112,000 are public. Its roaming network now offers access to over 1.1 million charge points across Europe.

Sebastian Klauke, CEO of DKV Mobility, said e‑mobility was a key growth driver.

“By expanding our technology and service capabilities through Optimile, we significantly strengthen our platform strategy and our ability to deliver integrated, end‑to‑end e‑mobility solutions that reduce complexity for our customers across the entire value chain.”

For Optimile and its customers, the transaction ensures continuity while opening up additional growth opportunities. The company gains access to expanded resources to accelerate the further development of its platform and strengthen its market position.

Sven Mehringer, managing director at DKV Mobility with responsibility for energy & vehicle services, added: “Belgium is one of Europe’s strongest and fastest-growing e-mobility markets, making it an ideal environment for growth and innovation. Optimile has emerged as a fast-growing leader at the heart of this dynamic market, with deep software expertise in the e-mobility space. Its clear mission to enable intelligent, sustainable and user-friendly electric mobility is an excellent fit with our strategy and our purpose. Under the ownership of BNP Paribas Fortis and AG Insurance, Optimile has developed very successfully in recent years. We will continue this growth trajectory and further evolve the platform.”

DKV Mobility’s journey began in 2015 with the launch of the DKV Card +Charge. A key milestone was reached in 2021 with the acquisition of GreenFlux, a leading European provider of charging software. At the end of 2024, DKV Mobility announced a strategic partnership with Aachen‑based Smartlab, a market leader in the aggregation, management, and billing of charging systems. Under the deal, DKV also acquired a majority stake in Smartlab.
