Cubos acquires TotalEnergies’ German B2B charging business

With the acquisition of TotalEnergies’ commercial charging business in Germany, Cubos is set to expand its number of charging points in the country to around 15,000 – co-located at the sites of more than 1,000 B2B customers. Approximately 6,000 of these charging points are part of the newly announced deal with the French energy group. Cubos describes the move as a milestone, one that positions the company among Germany’s leading charge point operators.

The transaction solely comprises of TotalEnergies’ commercial charging business in Germany, which – according to both companies – is made up of around 6,000 AC and DC charging points. Cubos states that the AC charging points are primarily located at customer sites, such as employee or fleet car parks, while the DC charging points are mainly used at high-throughput locations. For existing customers, nothing will change: “All contracts will be honoured, integration into the Cubos platform will be carried out gradually, and ongoing operations will be seamlessly ensured for all TotalEnergies customers,” the companies confirm.

A brief look at Cubos: Founded in Wolfsburg in 2018, the company plans, installs, and operates “photovoltaic and charging solutions, complemented by modern storage systems and intelligent software – Made in Germany,” according to its own statements. The provider enables businesses and public-sector clients to “become independent from the grid through integrated energy solutions, permanently reduce energy costs, and achieve their decarbonisation goals.” As recently as March 2026 (DE), Cubos secured a major contract from the state of Lower Saxony.

“With the acquisition of TotalEnergies’ B2B charging infrastructure business in Germany, we are taking a decisive step towards our goal of becoming one of the top three CPOs in Germany,” comments Cubos CEO Marc Wille. “For existing customers, we guarantee a smooth transition – and in future, they will benefit from a significantly expanded service portfolio: our own hardware and software, photovoltaics, and battery storage. Everything is managed by our own technicians. The charging park will become an integrated energy system – making e-mobility more affordable and attractive across the board.”

Jan Petersen, Managing Director of TotalEnergies Charging Solutions Germany, adds: “With Cubos, we have found a reliable partner who will not only continue our B2B charging business but also consistently develop it further with its own technology and a comprehensive service portfolio. We are convinced that our business customers and employees from the B2B sector are in the best hands with Cubos.”

Importantly, all jobs in TotalEnergies’ fleet charging business will be retained following the acquisition. Cubos’ team will thus grow to around 500 employees. According to the Wolfsburg-based company, all jobs were secured in its two previous transactions as well. In December 2025 (DE), the company took over parts of the e-mobility business unit of Swarco Traffic Systems in Germany – and with it, more than 1,000 charging points. In April 2026 (DE), Cubos also announced the acquisition of the e-mobility brand ChargeOne from the Heinemann Group in Munich – adding another 3,500 charging points to its network.

In both the Swarco deal and the ChargeOne acquisition, Cubos did not disclose the financial details of the transactions. The company is following the same approach with the acquisition of TotalEnergies’ commercial charging business: financial details remain confidential.

For TotalEnergies, the sale of its B2B charging business marks another step away from the German market. In early 2023, the group sold its German filling station network (and that in the Netherlands) to the Canadian company Couche-Tard, under its Circle K brand. At the time, it was stated that the French energy group intended to focus on hydrogen and charging stations in countries where TotalEnergies is not the market leader. This strategy now appears to be faltering in Germany – not only in light of the deal with Cubos. TotalEnergies is also reportedly seeking buyers for its public charging stations – according to The Pioneer, citing its own sources a few months ago. According to the report, TotalEnergies could sell around 190 charging parks, though only about a third of these are currently operational.
