Charged EVs | Monta acquires ABB Nordic’s EV charge point management software customer contracts through Vourity deal

Monta says it has acquired the charge point management software customer contracts operated by Vourity, ABB E-mobility’s Nordic subsidiary, in a move that expands the company’s CPMS footprint in Northern Europe.

The deal is not an acquisition of ABB E-mobility itself or of Vourity as a whole—it is specifically a transfer of CPMS software customer contracts. According to Monta, ABB E-mobility selected Monta to take over those relationships because it viewed the company as the strongest CPMS option in the Nordics for continuity of service.

Charge point management software is the layer that operators use to monitor chargers, manage access, control pricing, handle uptime issues and, increasingly, tie charging hardware into broader energy-management systems. So while this is a software-contract story, it matters at the infrastructure level: CPMS platforms are becoming one of the real control points in the EV charging business, and the market has been drifting toward consolidation for a while now.

Monta is leaning into that trend. The company says the acquisition is part of its broader European consolidation strategy and argues that operators increasingly want to standardize on established, full-featured platforms rather than smaller regional tools. Monta says its platform now supervises more than 260,000 commercial charge points, supports more than 800 charge point models, and gives clients and drivers access to more than 1.3 million public charge points across Europe and the US. The company also says it operates directly in the US and 11 European countries, and in 32 markets total through partners.

“This acquisition reflects our ambition to be the leading CPMS platform in Europe,” said CEO Casper Rasmussen. Monta says the transition will bring the acquired customers onto its own software platform, including its newer Monta AI capabilities, which it says are designed to help operators diagnose issues faster and run charging networks more efficiently.
