Austrian energy provider Wien Energie has completed the integration of approximately 500 publicly accessible charging points acquired from charging infrastructure operator Ella GmbH & Co KG. The network covers Lower Austria, Upper Austria and Burgenland, expanding Wien Energie’s presence beyond the Vienna region.
The acquisition, announced in February 2026, has now been completed following a multi-month transition period. Wien Energie has also taken over Ella’s seven-member team as part of the transaction. Financial details were not disclosed.
Wien Energie Expands Nationwide Charging Network
The integration increases Wien Energie’s directly operated public charging infrastructure by approximately 20%. The company now offers more than 3,000 charging points of its own across Austria, alongside access to around 24,000 partner charging points.
Previously, its Tanke charging network was concentrated primarily in the greater Vienna area. The Ella acquisition adds infrastructure across three other federal states in a single transaction.
The move forms part of Wien Energie’s broader expansion strategy, combining acquisitions with investment in new charging facilities. In February 2026, the company also announced plans to install 1,000 additional charging points in Vienna.
Charging Available Through Tanke Tariffs
The newly integrated charging points are accessible through Wien Energie’s Tanke network and its existing tariff structure. Customers can also use roaming services, although prices at partner charging stations may differ.
Wien Energie currently offers three main Tanke charging tariffs:
- Tanke kWh Go: No monthly subscription fee, with charging priced at €0.43 per kWh for AC and DC charging.
- Tanke kWh Smart: €5.90 monthly fee and a charging rate of €0.40 per kWh.
- Tanke kWh Pro: €29.90 monthly fee and a charging rate of €0.36 per kWh.
The acquisition strengthens Wien Energie’s position in Austria’s public charging market while extending its directly operated infrastructure into regions previously served by Ella.
