European Alternatives to ChargePoint
Looking for a European alternative to ChargePoint? ChargePoint is a US company: its global privacy policy (updated 15 June 2026) defines ChargePoint as any entity controlled by ChargePoint, Inc. in Campbell, California, and ChargePoint also sells its own charging stations. Operators who want a contract with a European entity and a platform that is not tied to one hardware maker look elsewhere.
The European platforms below connect OCPP chargers from many manufacturers and add tariffs, VAT handling, roaming and billing, from operator suites such as Virta and AMPECO to billing services such as Last Mile Solutions.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

Key takeaways
- ChargePoint, Inc. of Campbell, California controls the entities that operate ChargePoint, according to the global privacy policy updated on 15 June 2026, and also sells its own AC and DC stations.
- Monta of Copenhagen is the only European alternative that publishes prices: EUR 5 per AC socket and EUR 8 per DC socket per month, a platform fee from EUR 500 and a 2% transaction fee on the Advanced plan.
- AMPECO states that it owns no charging stations and sells no electricity, which makes it the closest European match to a software-only replacement for ChargePoint's platform.
- Virta says its Hub connects more than 2,000 charger models and handles cross-border VAT, so it fits a network that crosses national borders.
- The Mobility House sells load management rather than billing, so it replaces only the grid-limit side of a ChargePoint deployment.
Why people leave ChargePoint
ChargePoint is a charging company before it is a software company. The group sells AC and DC stations (the CP6000, Express 280 and Express Plus, with the latter described as scaling to 500 kW per port), a home charger, a driver app, support and deployment services, and a charge management platform that runs on top. The global privacy policy, updated on 15 June 2026, defines ChargePoint as any entity controlled by ChargePoint, Inc. in Campbell, California.
That structure is the first reason operators in Europe look elsewhere. A buyer who wants software that treats every OCPP charger the same way, whoever built it, is buying from a vendor whose main revenue line is its own hardware.
ChargePoint says its platform works with hundreds of OCPP-compliant models, and the be.ENERGISED page calls the product hardware neutral for OCPP stations in the European market, so the claim is not empty. Whether the roadmap serves a competitor's charger as well as its own is something only a contract can settle.
The second reason is the contracting party and the legal route behind it. A European operator who signs with a US parent accepts that the data, the support organisation and the terms ultimately follow Californian corporate control. For a municipal utility, a regional energy company or a fuel retailer with public tenders behind it, that is often enough to open the market to vendors in Helsinki, Sofia, Copenhagen or Vienna.
- Software, chargers and driver app come from one vendor ChargePoint sells stations, a mobile app for drivers and the management platform, which is convenient when everything is ChargePoint and a constraint when it is not. The European platforms in this comparison sell no chargers or sell them only as a service on the side. Software-only AMPECO and billing-focused Last Mile Solutions are the clearest examples. Separating the two layers lets an operator change charger suppliers without moving the billing and roaming back office.
- A US parent sits behind the contract ChargePoint, Inc. in Campbell, California controls every entity the privacy policy calls ChargePoint. Under the US CLOUD Act a US-based provider can be ordered to produce data it controls even when it is stored abroad, and that applies whatever server region the platform uses. Each of the ten European vendors below contracts through an entity in the EU or EEA, which moves the supervisory authority and the courts to Europe.
- Pricing is a quote, and so is almost everyone else ChargePoint's software pages show no prices; the visitor is pointed to an expert or a quote request. That is normal in this market, because nine of the ten European tools do the same. Monta is the exception, with a public table of EUR 5 per AC socket and EUR 8 per DC socket per month on its Advanced plan. A price you can read before the first call makes budgeting and a first comparison with ChargePoint simpler.
- European settlement and VAT sit at the centre of the product elsewhere Several European vendors are built around the cross-border problem of invoices, VAT and roaming settlement, because their customers sell charging in several countries. Virta handles cross-border VAT and currencies, Last Mile Solutions sells billing as a service, and chargecloud and chargeIQ put invoices in the reseller's brand. ChargePoint also lists tax and currency handling for be.ENERGISED, so the difference is one of emphasis and of who signs the contract.
What you have to replace, not just match
Replacing ChargePoint rarely means replacing one product. A network usually combines stations, the management platform, a driver app with accounts, roaming agreements with other networks and the installer relationship.
The software page describes station management with access policies and schedules, tariffs by driver group, session length, energy cost and time of use, a Waitlist that queues drivers when a station is busy, dashboards with an AI Data Assistant, and more than 40 integrations on an open API. A European platform has to cover the parts you actually use, not the whole list.
The driver side is the part that is easiest to underestimate. ChargePoint drivers hold ChargePoint accounts and use its app, and roaming works through the vendor's partnerships.
Monta, Spirii, AMPECO, Virta and chargecloud offer white-label driver apps or branded front ends, Last Mile Solutions sells branded charge cards, and chargeIQ publishes chargers in a roaming network through its Share module. None of them hands you the ChargePoint driver base, so a switch means telling drivers where to go and what card or app to use.
Then there is the hardware layer. If your stations are ChargePoint's own, check in writing that the new platform speaks to them over OCPP and that firmware updates will not break the link. If they are third-party OCPP stations, the move is simpler: AMPECO states it runs more than 80 integration tests with each customer's charge points, and Virta says it supports more than 2,000 charger models.

How each alternative compares to ChargePoint
Best for: Charging networks that cross borders and want the platform to absorb VAT, currencies and invoices.
Against ChargePoint, Virta of Helsinki offers the same operator-side functions (monitoring, tariffs, payments, roaming, energy management) from a company that contracts as Liikennevirta Oy in Finland and keeps its own offices in Berlin, Stockholm, Paris and London. The vendor says Virta Hub connects more than 2,000 charger models, and operators may use Virta's pre-configured chargers or bring their own.
The numbers on its pages do not agree: one says 450 models and another 2,000, so a written compatibility list is the safer route. No price is published. A fleet service called Northe covers leasing and rental fleets, which ChargePoint reaches with separate telematics and fleet pages.
What Virta does better than ChargePoint
- Contracting entity inside the EU
- Cross-border VAT and invoicing handled by the vendor
- Not tied to one charger maker
- Fleet service in the same group
Where Virta is a step down from ChargePoint
- No public price
- Smaller driver-facing footprint than ChargePoint's mobile app
- Conflicting charger-model counts
Standout against ChargePoint. Virta moves VAT and invoicing across borders into the platform instead of leaving them to the operator.
Best for: Scaling CPOs, eMSPs and utilities that want a vendor that sells no chargers or electricity.
AMPECO of Sofia is the cleanest answer to the hardware tie-in: it states that it owns no stations, sells no electricity and does not compete with customers for drivers. Where ChargePoint combines a platform with its own stations, AMPECO supports OCPP-compliant stations from over 200 manufacturers and white-label apps, and reports more than 300,000 charge points in over 70 markets.
Its security page lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and a SOC 2 Type II audit, which an enterprise procurement team can ask for by name. The hosting regions are not named, prices are not public and there is no pricing page, so a demo comes before any number.
What AMPECO does better than ChargePoint
- Software-only position
- Documented ISO 27001 family and SOC 2 Type II
- OCPI, OpenADR and ISO 15118 listed
- White-label apps for operators
Where AMPECO is a step down from ChargePoint
- No public prices
- Longer onboarding for a small site
- Hosting regions not named
Standout against ChargePoint. AMPECO is the platform in this comparison whose entire business model is staying neutral between charger brands.
Best for: Operators with 200 or more charge points who want to budget before talking to sales.
Monta of Copenhagen answers the question ChargePoint's software pages leave open, namely what it costs. The Advanced plan lists EUR 5 per AC and EUR 8 per DC socket per month, a platform fee from EUR 500 and a 2% transaction fee, with volume discounts above 1,000 charge points. The same product line covers operator tools, a driver app with roaming and billing with revenue sharing.
Monta ApS was founded in 2020, which makes its track record shorter than ChargePoint's, and payments run through Stripe. The plan table and the pricing FAQ disagree on the transaction fee, and no price is shown for networks below 200 charge points.
What Monta does better than ChargePoint
- Published per-socket pricing
- Public status page and changelog
- Driver app and roaming in the same product line
- Contract with a Danish ApS
Where Monta is a step down from ChargePoint
- Short company history
- Payments tied to Stripe
- Fee rate inconsistent on its own pages
Standout against ChargePoint. Monta is the only European alternative here where the monthly bill for 200 sockets can be calculated from a public page.
Best for: Operators that need complex tariffs, smart charging and an established vendor, and accept a corporate parent.
GreenFlux of Amsterdam has operated since 2011, which is closer to ChargePoint's age than most of the newer platforms. Its billing engine supports flexible tariffs and payment options, roaming lets other providers' drivers charge on the network, and smart charging algorithms aim to use the full grid connection.
The company belongs to DKV Mobility since 2021, a European group, and says it still operates independently. An operator that competes with DKV in fuel cards or fleet mobility may find that parent less neutral than a software-only vendor. ISO 27001:2022 compliance is stated, and prices are not published.
What GreenFlux does better than ChargePoint
- ISO 27001:2022 information security
- Long track record on billing and roaming
- Portal and API access with tenant permissions
Where GreenFlux is a step down from ChargePoint
- Owned by DKV Mobility
- More general marketing copy than AMPECO
- No public price
Standout against ChargePoint. GreenFlux pairs a flexible billing engine with a corporate owner whose business is mobility payments.
Best for: Utilities, electrical wholesalers and fleet operators that sell charging under their own brand.
chargecloud of Cologne packages its Operating System in module clusters for governance, charging operations and revenue management, with the ability to run apps, portals and invoices entirely in a reseller's branding. ChargePoint's be.ENERGISED page makes a similar white-label promise, but chargecloud organises its whole site around industries such as utilities, logistics and electrical wholesale.
The vendor reports more than 350 customers and 100,000 charging points, and chargecloud GmbH is registered in Cologne under HRB 88854. The site is German-first, the founding year and hosting region are not stated and no prices are published.
What chargecloud does better than ChargePoint
- Industry-specific entry points for resellers
- Multi-client setup with granular roles
- Public status page and trust centre
Where chargecloud is a step down from ChargePoint
- German-first documentation
- No public price
- Fewer developer integrations described than ChargePoint's 40-plus
Standout against ChargePoint. chargecloud lets the reseller's name, not the platform's, appear on the app, portal and invoice.
Best for: CPOs, eMSPs and fleets that want infrastructure and driver services in one system.
Spirii of Copenhagen merges charge point management with an eMobility services layer, which gives a business that is both operator and service provider a single back office. Against ChargePoint's separate software, app and roaming pages, Spirii Connect handles tenant profiles, roaming identities and networks together, and the vendor states access to more than 1,000,000 roaming charge points over OCPI and OICP.
Spirii ApS became part of the Edenred Group in 2024, so the owner is French and the group's fuel and mobility card business may shape its priorities. Chargers connect over OCPP 1.6J on the pages checked, and its homepage still showed an old webinar banner on 23 October 2026.
What Spirii does better than ChargePoint
- Roaming reach stated at 1,000,000+ charge points
- API keys, webhooks and developer hub
- CPO and eMSP functions combined
Where Spirii is a step down from ChargePoint
- Only OCPP 1.6J named
- Group ownership by Edenred
- No public price
Standout against ChargePoint. Spirii documents API keys and webhooks for connecting loyalty, ERP and CRM systems to the charging back office.
Best for: Fuel companies, utilities and fleets that want invoicing, VAT and roaming settled by a specialist.
Last Mile Solutions of Rotterdam is the smallest overlap with ChargePoint's platform and the sharpest one on money flows. Threeforce B.V. sells billing as a service, roaming as a service and branded charge cards, and says it has worked with e-mobility transactions since 2005 in 22 countries. A customer quoted on its site says it was the only company that could send invoices on their behalf.
Station monitoring gets less space on its pages than billing, so an operator whose main worry is uptime tooling should pair it with a monitoring layer or compare Virta. No prices or certifications are shown, and the site relies on superlatives with few figures.
What Last Mile Solutions does better than ChargePoint
- Billing and VAT handled as a service
- Roaming sold stand-alone
- Branded charge cards
Where Last Mile Solutions is a step down from ChargePoint
- Less emphasis on station monitoring
- Certifications not shown
- Claims without figures
Standout against ChargePoint. Last Mile Solutions is the one vendor here whose roaming and invoicing can be bought without adopting a station platform.
Best for: Austrian and DACH operators, fleets and utilities that want software and field service together.
SMATRICS of Vienna combines software and field work: it installs, operates and bills, and sells charVIS Operations as the cloud CPMS and charVIS Business as the tool for fleet and facility managers. Like ChargePoint, it mixes software with a services arm, but its shareholders are European: VERBUND Energy4Business holds 74.9% and EnBW mobility+ holds 25.1%.
Customers named on the product pages include EnBW, VERBUND, Deutsche Bahn, OeBB and REWE Group. The CPMS shows station status and OCPP messages and updates firmware over the air, a load management add-on is offered and the API states EU server hosting. English pages are shorter than German ones, and no price is published.
What SMATRICS charVIS does better than ChargePoint
- European utility shareholders
- EU server hosting stated for the API
- Separate business tool for fleets
Where SMATRICS charVIS is a step down from ChargePoint
- Also an operator, so not software-only
- Shorter English documentation
- No public price
Standout against ChargePoint. SMATRICS charVIS comes from a company owned by two European energy groups, with its own installers behind the software.
Best for: Housing associations, hotels and employers with private or semi-public charge points.
chargeIQ of Leinfelden-Echterdingen targets the other end of the market from ChargePoint's public network features: tenant invoices, guest payment by QR code or card terminal, company-car home charging refunds and static load pools for a limited number of stations. The vendor says customers choose hardware, software and operating mode without proprietary lock-in.
chargeIQ GmbH is registered in Stuttgart under HRB 773555. It is not built for large public networks, dynamic load management relies on partners and the site is German-first. No price is published, so a quote is needed for even a small deployment.
What chargeIQ does better than ChargePoint
- Modules for tenants, guests and company cars
- QR code and card-terminal payment
- Hardware-independent per vendor
Where chargeIQ is a step down from ChargePoint
- Not built for large networks
- German-first site
- Dynamic load management depends on partners
Standout against ChargePoint. chargeIQ is the only alternative here with a module for refunding company-car home charging per kWh.
Best for: Depots and fleets whose main constraint is the grid connection.
The Mobility House of Munich replaces only a slice of what ChargePoint's software does. ChargePilot is a controller at the site that allocates power by local generation, consumption, vehicle priority and utility signals, with a dashboard across several sites and three user roles. It works with OCPP chargers and relies on a separate billing backend.
The company names logistics fleets, electric bus fleets, charge point operators and corporate fleets as use cases and says it tested ISO 15118-20 functions for bidirectional charging in 2019. A controller must be installed at each site, hosting is not stated and no prices are published.
What The Mobility House does better than ChargePoint
- On-site dynamic load management
- Multi-site dashboard with three roles
- Bidirectional charging tested
Where The Mobility House is a step down from ChargePoint
- No tariffs, billing or roaming of its own
- Needs a controller at every site
Standout against ChargePoint. The Mobility House is the entry that keeps a depot inside its grid connection, whichever billing system sits next to it.
What actually breaks when you switch
Expect the work to cluster around three things. First is the station connection: every charger has to be re-pointed to a new OCPP endpoint, which should happen in waves with a rollback plan, and some older firmware will need updating first. Second is the data you can export from ChargePoint: sessions, tariffs, driver groups and invoices need to be mapped into the new tariff structure, and the new vendor should confirm what it imports and what you rebuild by hand.
Third is the driver experience. ChargePoint accounts, cards and app habits belong to ChargePoint, not to you, so drivers have to register again on the new app or card. Roaming agreements also have to be set up again with the new platform's hubs. Contracts matter too: check notice periods, hardware warranties tied to ChargePoint's platform and any service agreements for stations, because ending the software does not end the installer relationship.
Can a European platform manage ChargePoint stations?
Often yes, if the station speaks OCPP. ChargePoint's own pages say its platform works with its stations and with hundreds of OCPP-compliant models, which is the same standard the European vendors use. AMPECO reports OCPP stations from over 200 manufacturers, and Virta lists more than 2,000 charger models.
Do not rely on a logo list. Ask each vendor for a written compatibility statement for your exact model and firmware, run one site as a pilot, and agree who fixes a connection that breaks after a firmware update. Leave the roaming and driver accounts for the second phase.
Which European alternative is the cheapest to evaluate?
Monta, because its pricing page shows the Advanced plan for 200 or more charge points: EUR 5 per AC socket and EUR 8 per DC socket per month, a platform fee from EUR 500 per month and a 2% transaction fee. The pricing FAQ example uses 4%, so confirm the rate in writing.
The other nine tools quote on request. For a small site, chargeIQ is the one built around a limited number of charge points, but it publishes no price either. Ask all vendors for the same scenario at your charger count today and at three times that count.
Which one to pick
If you run a network across several countries and want the platform to take VAT and invoicing, start with Virta, then AMPECO if audited security and a software-only vendor weigh more. If budgeting matters most, price Monta first because its table is public, then request quotes from GreenFlux and chargecloud when complex tariffs or white-label resale are the requirement. Spirii suits a business that runs infrastructure and driver services together.
Use Last Mile Solutions when invoicing and roaming are the problem and the station layer is already solved, chargeIQ for a landlord or hotel with a few chargers, and The Mobility House when the grid connection is the bottleneck. SMATRICS charVIS suits an Austrian or DACH buyer that wants installation and software from one party. If your stations are ChargePoint's own and your drivers live in its app, the saving from leaving is smaller than the cost of rebuilding both.
Frequently Asked Questions
For the platform side, Virta, AMPECO and Monta are the closest matches. Virta handles cross-border VAT and invoicing, AMPECO is a software-only vendor with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and Monta prints its prices. GreenFlux and chargecloud suit operators who care about billing engines and white-label front ends. None of them sells ChargePoint's own stations, so hardware stays a separate purchase.
No. ChargePoint's global privacy policy, updated on 15 June 2026, defines ChargePoint as any entity controlled by ChargePoint, Inc. in Campbell, California. The company has a European presence and its site offers country versions for Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and the UK, but the controlling company is American.
Not when your stations speak OCPP. The European platforms in this comparison connect third-party chargers over OCPP, and ChargePoint's own software page says its platform manages hundreds of OCPP models too. Check your exact model and firmware with the new vendor before you sign, and test one site first.
Spirii states access to more than 1,000,000 roaming charge points over OCPI and OICP. Last Mile Solutions sells roaming as a stand-alone service and chargeIQ's Share module publishes chargers in a Europe-wide network. Virta, AMPECO, Monta and GreenFlux list roaming among their platform functions, so confirm which hubs each one connects to.
When your stations are ChargePoint's own, when the network is mostly in North America, or when you need the Waitlist queue and the open API with 40-plus integrations the vendor describes. A European platform replaces the software and the contract, not the installed hardware or the driver base.
