Our take
EV charging networks are currently vying for the top spot, expanding their networks across much of the Western world. Virta is just one of these companies and elevates its offering by providing charging services to not only individual electric vehicle drivers but to companies too.
The Virta platform’s ecosystem of drivers, electric vehicle companies, and charging stations offers a variety of services to all aspects of the EV value chain, working with airports, car fleet rentals, and companies such as Scandic Hotels and Randridge Technologies, indicating the versatility of Virta’s client base.
Though the market is crowded for EV digital platforms and apps, Virta boasts a high growth rate and serious recent funding. It plans to use this substantial investment to accelerate the growth of its platform in Europe and the Asia Pacific by a factor of five. It already has 350,000 charging points across 30 countries, exemplifying its position as a top contender in the EV charging market.
