Monta, a Copenhagen-based operating platform powering the electric vehicle (EV) charging experience, announced the opening of its US headquarters in Miami. The company’s expansion plan includes connecting 25,000 commercial charge points to its platform by the end of 2025 and one million charge points by the end of 2030.
Monta is a Danish operating platform that powers the EV ecosystem by offering an integrated software solution to all the industry actors: hardware manufacturers, installers, operators, fleet managers, residential, workplaces, drivers, and the electricity grid.
Despite economic and political headwinds, the EV market in the US continues to grow rapidly. BCG estimates that nearly half of all new car sales in the US will be electric by 2030, with 38% of Americans saying their next vehicle purchase will be an EV. Consumer demand is also supported by the necessary investment in charging infrastructure, with the goal of half a million public chargers in place in the next five years.
Yet significant challenges remain within the charging experience in the US, with a quarter of all charges still unsuccessful, and an additional 12% successful but with reduced power, according to ChargeHub. This is due to various issues ranging from user interface problems, deficient software glitches, and complex payment processes on several mobile apps and credit card readers. Software tools are needed to enable a smoother, better-optimized charging experience and unlock EV adoption at scale in the US.
Monta’s solution assists hardware manufacturers in optimizing their products by enabling them to benchmark charge point brands, provide insights into usage and performance, and accelerate troubleshooting and maintenance time.
With two million monthly charging sessions and 165,000 commercial charge points on its platform, Monta has experience working with global partners like Siemens, hardware manufacturers like Rolec, and charge point operators like Uno-X or Eliso, among others. With its expansion into the U.S., Monta also announced a partnership with Emobi, the largest EV charging ecosystem in North America, to instantly bring its software to more than 118,000 charge points across the US and Canada.
Monta will welcome 30 employees, including co-founder and CEO Casper Rasmussen, to its US headquarters in Miami by the end of 2025.
