Europe’s Charging Race Heats Up with Bold New Alliance

Tellus Power Europe and Spirii unite to streamline EV charging as operators seek integrated, scalable solutions

2 Dec 2025

Europe’s electric-vehicle drivers often find themselves hunting for a working plug. A new partnership between Tellus Power Europe and Spirii aims to make that search less frustrating. Their tie-up promises a cleaner route through the continent’s jumble of charging standards, permits and maintenance rules.

The firms offer different pieces of the puzzle. Tellus supplies high-powered chargers; Spirii runs a cloud platform that links users to a large roaming network. Combined, they hope to give operators and city planners a single provider rather than a tangle of contractors. That shift reflects changing demand. Tore Oldenbæk, Spirii’s boss, says the partnership is a “direct reply to customers who want one accountable provider from plug to platform.” Municipalities are now writing tenders that favour bundled hardware and software, placing more weight on uptime and service quality.

The timing is convenient. Tougher EU rules require more chargers along major transport routes, pushing operators to scale up quickly. Analysts note that such pressures are nudging the market toward consolidation, as firms look for integrated systems that can meet reporting requirements and cut faults. A unified stack may help the partners win larger contracts that insist on predictable performance.

Yet the plan faces stiff competition. Investors remain keen on charging infrastructure, drawing in rivals that pitch flexible, mix-and-match setups appealing to utilities and fleet owners wary of lock-in. To stand out, the duo must show they can build faster, trim operating costs and resolve the headaches that still plague cross-border networks.

For now, the alliance adds a rare dose of optimism to a market marked by uneven growth. If the collaboration works as intended, Europe’s drivers may enjoy a more consistent experience and policymakers may find it easier to hit their climate targets.
