Charging operator Milepost has acquired the public AC charging network of Mer in Sweden, adding approximately 250 charge points as part of a broader strategic shift by Mer toward fast-charging infrastructure.
The integration of the newly acquired chargers into Milepost’s network is already underway and is expected to be completed by early summer 2026, the company said. Prior to the acquisition, Milepost operated around 750 charge points; the addition brings its total network to roughly 1,000 units.
Most of the transferred chargers provide up to 22 kW of power, although some support up to 50 kW. Following the transaction, Mer will no longer operate public AC charging infrastructure in Sweden.
Mer had previously announced plans to reposition its business to focus exclusively on ultra-fast public charging across the Nordic region. As part of this strategy, the company has been divesting non-core segments, including its business customer division, which was sold to ChargeNode.
“We are very happy to be entrusted to take ownership of these charging stations,” said Lars Isaksson. “Mer has had an important role in the establishment of EV-charging infrastructure in Sweden, and we are looking forward to further run and develop these sites. At completion of the acquisition, we will have passed 1000 charge points, and we will offer our services in an additional 37 municipalities.”
“Our strategy is to fully focus on ultra-fast public EV-charging,” added Jesper Thyberg. “We are therefore pleased to divest our AC-charging stations to Milepost, who has the right focus to further develop these sites.”
The move follows another recent divestment by Mer, which agreed to sell its public charging network in the United Kingdom to Be.EV. That deal includes more than 1,600 charging bays across over 450 locations. Unlike in Sweden, Mer will exit the UK public charging market entirely while retaining its commercial charging operations.
The Swedish transaction highlights ongoing consolidation and strategic repositioning within Europe’s EV charging sector, as operators adapt to growing demand for high-power charging solutions.
