Swedish EV charging provider Milepost has acquired a network of AC charging stations from fellow charging provider Mer.
The acquisition comprises some 250 charge points across Sweden, from Åre in the north to Malmö in the south. Most offer charging power of 22 kW, but a few support speeds of up to 50 kW.
The two companies see the sale as a mutually beneficial agreement—Mer’s strategy is to fully focus on DC fast charging, while Milepost is strengthening its position in AC charging. Milepost aims to complete the integration of the acquired charging stations into its network by the early summer of 2026.
Following the acquisition, Milepost will have a presence in over 70 municipalities in Sweden, including new locales such as Malmö and Linköping.
“Mer has had an important role in the establishment of EV charging infrastructure in Sweden, and we are looking forward to further run and develop these sites,” says Milepost Head of Business Development and Operations Lars Isaksson. “At completion of the acquisition, we will have passed 1,000 charge points, and we will offer our services in an additional 37 municipalities.”
“Our strategy is to fully focus on [DC] ultra-fast public EV charging. We are therefore pleased to divest our AC charging stations to Milepost, who has the right focus to further develop these sites,” says Jesper Thyberg, Director of Network Management at Mer.
