eStation, Ireland’s leading provider of integrated electric vehicle (EV) fleet management solutions, today announced it has secured strategic funding, led by BVP, with additional investment from SparkCrowd Funding. This funding will drive eStation’s expansion, enabling the company to scale its technology and broaden support infrastructure to meet the growing needs of Ireland’s corporate EV fleets.

As Ireland’s EV market accelerates, so does the demand for efficient and comprehensive fleet management solutions. eStation’s end-to-end services encompass charging hardware installation, advanced software for energy management and monitoring, and an extensive support system. With this new funding, eStation is well-equipped to scale its offerings, providing essential tools for Ireland’s transition to a sustainable, greener future.

By integrating charging hardware with a data-driven software platform, eStation offers real-time insights and centralised control for fleet operators, streamlining cost management and enhancing operational efficiency.
