Berlin-based startup Enapi has raised €7.5 million in a seed funding round, building on the €2.5 million it secured during its pre-seed round. The new funding will enable the company to advance its mission of eliminating the need for electric vehicle (EV) drivers to rely on multiple apps and QR codes to access charging services from different providers.
Enapi’s platform aims to streamline interoperability between Charging Point Operators (CPOs) and eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs). Within six months of launch, the company has onboarded over 350,000 charge points and partnered with eight of Europe’s ten largest eMSPs. Key partners include Landis+Gyr, Octopus, e.on, Osprey, and Last Mile Solutions.

“Our mission is to make EV charging transactions seamless, efficient, and accessible,” said Jakob Kleihues, CEO and co-founder of Enapi. “We want to make EV charging easier for everyone. Our platform makes payments and data transfer more efficient for every EV charging business so they can focus on advancing the EV revolution.”
The platform addresses critical challenges such as low scalability, high prices, and poor data quality, which often result in inaccurate charge point availability information and unclear fees for public charging. Citing a McKinsey report, Enapi highlights that 70% of EV drivers are dissatisfied with the current public charging infrastructure.
