EU-Startups has learned that Standab, a Swedish solution provider for urban smart-charging infrastructure, has raised €3.6 million in a funding round to scale operations across 15 European cities.
The round was led by Spintop Ventures together with Almi Invest GreenTech. This is Standab’s first larger investment round following the initial angel backing.
Marcus Adolfsson, Co-founder and CEO of Standab, said: “Cities and operators alike are calling for smarter ways to integrate micromobility into the urban landscape. Our universal charging solution solves operational inefficiencies while reducing emissions and creating cleaner streets. With this funding, we can accelerate our roll-out and work towards making Standab the European standard for micromobility charging.”
Founded in 2025, Standab provides patented charging stations for e-scooters, e-bikes and other light EVs, enabling cities and operators to cut costs, reduce clutter, and accelerate the shift to sustainable urban mobility.
The funding will be used to scale operations, expand into 15 European cities by the second half of 2026 and broaden its partnerships with leading micromobility operators.
Erik Wenngren, Partner at Spintop Ventures, added: “Standab is uniquely positioned to become the universal smart-charging backbone for Europe’s micromobility sector. The company combines strong operator partnerships, proven technology, and a highly experienced team.
“This investment means that Standab can roll out their intelligent combined software/hardware solution, as the company continues to scale across Europe and deliver both financial and sustainability impact. This investment is fully aligned with one of our core investment themes: accelerating the transition towards a circular future.”
Shared micromobility has grown rapidly in European cities, but Standab says inconsistent charging practices have led to operational inefficiencies, high costs, and street clutter. Micromobility operators often rely on costly and emission-heavy battery swapping using vans, while cities struggle to integrate these services seamlessly.
Standab looks to address these challenges through its standardised charging stations, which are reportedly compatible with more than 85% of existing scooter and e-bike fleets.
Having already entered partnerships with leading operators such as Dott/Tier, Standab enables automated charging, reduces the need for excess batteries, and significantly lowers CO₂ emissions.
In pilots, Standab has shown a 50% reduction in charging costs, 45% higher fleet availability, and up to 55% fewer swap tasks, while cities benefit from decluttered streets and free infrastructure.
Jonathan Lannö, Investment Manager at Almi Invest GreenTech, said: “Standab’s universal charging solution tackles one of the biggest bottlenecks in the micromobility sector: costly and emission-heavy battery swaps. By extending battery lifecycles, reducing fleet overcapacity and enabling grid-smart charging, the company directly reduces emissions and helps cities integrate cleaner, more efficient transport solutions.
“At Almi Invest GreenTech, our mission is to support companies that accelerate the green transition – a mission that Standab embodies perfectly.”
This new funding inches Standab one step closer to achieving its mission of helping cities embrace cleaner, more efficient urban mobility systems.
