Dow Jones said it has acquired Eco-Movement, a Netherlands-based platform that provides global electric vehicle (EV) charging data, in a move aimed at strengthening its energy business unit OPIS.
Eco-Movement, headquartered in Utrecht, tracks nearly 2 million charging connectors across more than 80 countries, offering real-time information on infrastructure availability and pricing. The platform will be integrated into OPIS, which focuses on data and analytics in fuels, carbon markets, clean energy, and hydrogen.
Dow Jones reported an 11% rise in revenue from its energy business to $278 million in its latest fiscal year, contributing to overall company revenues of $2.33 billion. The acquisition follows earlier deals including Oxford Analytica and Dragonfly Intelligence, broadening the company’s footprint in risk, research, and energy analytics.
“Eco-Movement provides proprietary data essential for decision-making across the full spectrum of vehicle energy sources,” said Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and Publisher of The Wall Street Journal.
Eco-Movement co-founder and CEO Roderick van den Berg said combining the company’s charging data platform with OPIS’s energy analytics will accelerate sustainable mobility solutions for customers such as fleet operators, utilities, navigation providers, and public sector entities.
Dow Jones was an early investor in Eco-Movement’s Series A funding in 2022, when the company recorded more than 200% revenue growth.
