Swiss charge point operator Avia Volt has acquired competitor Plug’n Roll, a subsidiary of energy provider Repower, adding 2,345 charge points to its network. The deal, retroactively effective from 1 April 2025, significantly expands Avia Volt’s footprint in Switzerland, including 500 public charge points previously operated by Plug’n Roll.
In a statement, Avia Volt confirmed that all Plug’n Roll customers will be integrated into its existing network. “Existing Plug’n Roll contracts and business processes will be reviewed and, where necessary, adapted. The changeover is carried out transparently and with clear communication to all affected parties,” the company said.
The acquisition gives Plug’n Roll customers access to more than 850,000 public charging stations across Europe. For fleet operators, the integration includes access to unified billing services for both electric and fossil fuel vehicle fleets via a centralised platform.
“For us, the acquisition of Plug’n Roll means a targeted strengthening of our position as a provider of reliable charging infrastructure in Switzerland. It also enables us to further expand an existing, strong network,” said Martin Osterwalder, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Avia Volt.
Plug’n Roll had operated as an independent entity under Repower for less than two years, after previously functioning as a brand within the company. Avia Volt will retain the Plug’n Roll brand until the end of 2025 and has confirmed that three of Plug’n Roll’s employees will transition to the new entity. All other staff have been reassigned within the Repower group.
