Our take
As an investor, installer and operator of EV chargers, Powerdot has become the largest independent charger operator in Portugal. Its business model involves not only installing EV chargers but maintaining and managing the charging stations too. Having launched in Portugal, it has now grown to have a presence in Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg and Poland.
What stands Powerdot out from the crowd is its unique business model of partnering with retail space owners at no cost to the latter and with revenue sharing as part of the deal. This value proposition incentivises landowners to install the charging stations on their properties and spaces. Its charging stations are located in shopping malls, gas stations, business centres and municipalities.
The company’s steady growth has been accelerated by 2024 investment from Societe Generale and BNP Paribas, whilst long-term investment has come from Antin Infrastructure Partners. With healthy capital behind it, Powerdot plans to further expand across Europe and become the continent's leading EV operator.
