Switzerland: CPO Avia Volt takes over Plug’n Roll

Charge point operator Avia Volt has acquired competitor Plug'n Roll, a Swiss CPO and a subsidiary of energy provider Repower. With the takeover, Avia Volt has added 2,345 new charge points to its network in Switzerland.

The sale was backdated to 1 April 2025. Plug’n Roll customers will be integrated into the Avia Volt network. “Existing Plug’n Roll contracts and business processes will be reviewed and, where necessary, adapted. The changeover is carried out transparently and with clear communication to all affected parties”, the company states.

According to the press release, 500 of the above-mentioned 2,345 Plug’n Roll charge points are public. With the sale to Avia Volt, customers gain access to more than 850,000 public charge points across Europe. Fleet operators who previously worked with the Repower subsidiary will have access to ‘integrated billing of electrical and fossil energy for your fleet vehicles via a central platform’.

“For us, the acquisition of Plug’n Roll means a targeted strengthening of our position as a provider of reliable charging infrastructure in Switzerland. It also enables us to further expand an existing, strong network,” says Martin Osterwalder, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Avai Volt.

Plug’n Roll became an independent company just less than two years ago. Before then, Repower had bundled all its electric mobility activities under the brand Plug’n Roll powered by Repower.

Avia Volt will continue to use the brand Plug’n Roll until the end of the year. Moreover, it is only taking on three Plug’n Roll employees but says that all others have been provided with new positions with parent company Repower.
