Company profile
researched Aug 2026The Mobility House is a Munich-based technology company, founded in 2009, that develops charging and energy management software for electric vehicles and connects vehicle and stationary batteries to energy markets. Its core product, ChargePilot, is a charging and energy management system used to control charging at fleet depots for school buses, transit buses, commercial and delivery fleets, and corporate campuses. Complementary technologies include automated load management, charging simulations based on site specifications, and vehicle-grid integration products marketed as the Cascade EV Aggregator and FIX Flexible Interconnection, plus the FlexibilityAggregator/EV Aggregation and FlexibilityTrader/FlexibilityTrading platforms used to market battery flexibility on power markets.
The company has operated through three business units β Energy, Solutions and Charging β spanning customers from first electromobility deployments through to trading flexibility in energy markets. Reported scale includes more than 50,000 vehicles controlled and over 2,700 charging depots worldwide, with more than 150 fleet operators and over 100 MW of managed charging capacity in North America. Customers cited include automotive manufacturers, fleet operators, utilities and EV drivers.
Since 2026 the group has narrowed its focus toward the European energy business, specifically vehicle-to-grid and vehicle-to-home applications and the aggregation and optimisation of vehicle and stationary batteries on energy markets. It agreed to transfer the Solutions fleet-electrification unit and European ChargePilot rights to Edenred, and to merge its North American subsidiary into PowerFlex, an EDF Renewables North America subsidiary, while retaining a minority shareholding.
Founding story
The company was founded in 2009 by Thomas Raffeiner, who serves as CEO, with the stated aim of enabling a zero-emission energy and mobility future by turning parked electric vehicles into decentralised power plants.
Business model
The company sells software and integrated hardware-plus-service packages for electric fleet charging, and operates energy-market businesses that aggregate and trade battery flexibility. It is organised into business units: The Mobility House Energy (flexibility aggregation and energy trading), The Mobility House Solutions (turnkey charging infrastructure and fleet energy management, sold to Edenred), and The Mobility House Charging (wallboxes and charging products for private customers, specialist partners and resellers). It also resells AC and DC charging hardware integrated with ChargePilot.
Revenue comes from sales and subscriptions of the ChargePilot charging and energy management system, turnkey charging infrastructure projects and services for commercial fleets, sales of AC and DC charging hardware and wallboxes, and energy-market activities such as aggregating and trading battery flexibility.
Traction
Company materials report more than 50,000 vehicles controlled, over 2,700 charging depots worldwide, a 96% satisfaction score, 2,500+ partners, 68,000+ customers and activity in 50+ countries. The Solutions unit alone served over 5,000 customers and more than 2,500 actively managed fleet depots with around 60 employees as of June 2026. In North America, ChargePilot manages over 100 MW of charging capacity for more than 150 fleet operators in the US and Canada, and the unit runs seven vehicle-grid-integration projects with electric school buses. Customer case studies cite 68.3 million pounds of CO2 emissions reduced across 11.5 million miles of service, projected charging cost savings of $500,000 over five years for one school district, and a 4.35 MW bus charging depot described as the largest-capacity in the US when installed.
Latest developments
In 2026 the company restructured around its European energy business. It acquired Vattenfall's German B2B charging business (July 2026), made ChargePilot available Europe-wide as a standalone product with dynamic tariff optimisation, announced in June 2026 the sale of The Mobility House Solutions to Edenred (completion expected Q3 2026, with the unit renamed Edenred e-Mobility GmbH and a commercial partnership with The Mobility House Energy GmbH), and in August 2026 agreed that PowerFlex, an EDF Renewables North America subsidiary, would acquire The Mobility House North America in a share exchange leaving The Mobility House as a PowerFlex minority shareholder. In July 2026 it joined Eversource, National Grid, EnergyHub and Sunrun in a residential vehicle-to-grid test in Massachusetts.
βΈFull profile β market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Described as Germany's leading B2B fleet electrification player through its Solutions unit and as the developer of one of the leading charging and energy management systems, operating in a commercial fleet electrification market entering consolidation. Comparable and competing companies cited include ChargePoint, Siemens, Enel X, Vattenfall, IONITY, Tesla, ABB and Shell. In the US the company was affected by a politically driven slowdown in the e-mobility rollout after several years of attempting to establish itself as a depot-charging specialist.
The offering combines charging hardware integration and depot load management with energy-market participation: ChargePilot controls charging while the FlexibilityAggregator and FlexibilityTrader platforms turn mobile and stationary batteries into buffer storage and tradable flexibility, including through a direct connection to the EPEX SPOT power exchange. Automated load management is positioned as a way to energise fleet depots faster and more cheaply by reducing reliance on additional utility infrastructure, and charging recommendations are generated from site-specific simulations.
Technology
ChargePilot is the charging and energy management system at the core of the product set, complemented by automated load management, site-specific charging and infrastructure simulations using proprietary fleet charging and energy management algorithms, and vehicle-grid integration products (Cascade EV Aggregator, FIX Flexible Interconnection). The FlexibilityAggregator/EV Aggregation and FlexibilityTrader/FlexibilityTrading platforms convert mobile and stationary EV batteries into buffer storage and tradable grid flexibility, with a connection to the EPEX SPOT power exchange. Reported web and software technologies include React, Python, PHP, JavaScript, WebSocket and Balena.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales to fleet operators, utilities, automakers and energy market participants, supported by a partner network of installers and hardware vendors and by product distribution through specialist partners and resellers in the charging division. In North America, public-sector buyers including government, education, municipal and nonprofit agencies can procure via a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing contract. Marketing includes whitepapers and other resources in an online knowledge center, plus demo bookings.
Commercial and public fleet operators (school bus, transit bus, delivery and corporate campus fleets), utilities and grid operators, automotive manufacturers, energy market participants, public-sector and nonprofit agencies, and private EV drivers and resellers via the charging division.
Geography
Headquartered in Munich, Germany (St.-Cajetan-Str. 43), with offices reported in Zurich, London, Paris, Singapore, Belmont (California) and Montreal, and operations described across Europe, North America and Asia. The company reports customers in over 10 countries in one profile and activity in 50+ countries on its own site. Following 2026 transactions, its operational focus shifts to Europe, with North American activities transferred to PowerFlex.
History
Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Munich, the company expanded internationally with offices in Zurich, London, Paris, Singapore, Belmont (California) and Montreal. In August 2022 it connected to the European power exchange EPEX SPOT SE, and in November 2022 it closed an internal Series C round of roughly β¬50 million led by Mercuria with existing investors including Mercedes-Benz, Alliance Venture, Mitsui and SP Group. Robert Hienz was CEO at the time of that round; founder Thomas Raffeiner is CEO as of 2026, with Herbert Diess as Chairman of the Board of Directors. From 2026 the company undertook a strategic realignment: it acquired Vattenfall's German B2B charging business, launched ChargePilot as a Europe-wide standalone product with dynamic tariff optimisation, agreed in June 2026 to sell The Mobility House Solutions to Edenred (to operate as Edenred e-Mobility GmbH), and in August 2026 agreed to merge The Mobility House North America into EDF subsidiary PowerFlex in exchange for a minority stake.
Risks & controversies
The company's US expansion was affected by a politically driven slowdown in the e-mobility rollout, contributing to the divestment of its North American business to PowerFlex. The commercial fleet electrification market is described as entering a phase of consolidation, and the group has divested two significant business lines (Solutions to Edenred and North America to PowerFlex), narrowing its remaining operations to the European energy, V2G and V2H business.
