Consolidation expected in fragmented electric vehicle ("EV") charging market

We recently advised on M&A mandates in the electric vehicle (“EV”) charging market that – driven by climate regulation and producer commitments – is expected to grow annually by nearly 40% in Europe until 2030. Currently the market is still fragmented, and we expect several consolidation waves interesting for various investor groups ranging from strategics in the EV charging field, to private equity, infrastructure investors and large corporates in the oil & gas or utilities sectors.
