Monta adds Plugsurfing's network, pushing European roaming past 1 million points
Monta has wired Plugsurfing's roaming network into its platform over OCPI, the protocol that lets charging networks share access with each other. According to electrive, the move adds more than 137,000 high-power points and takes Monta's European roaming coverage past 1 million charge points across 26 countries, with operators getting the wider network without signing a separate roaming contract.
Roaming is the layer that decides where a driver can actually charge, while OCPP is the layer that decides who manages the charger. They are different jobs: a charger still connects to one backoffice over OCPP, and roaming sits above it. Plugchoice connects OCPP chargers of any brand; roaming reach like this is a reminder that the network and the management layer are separate choices.
Monta raises about EUR 30M to push into North America and grid services
Monta, the Copenhagen-based EV charging software platform, has raised roughly EUR 30M in additional financing, earmarked for North American expansion and grid-balancing capabilities. It is a follow-on round rather than a first raise, aimed squarely at scaling the platform beyond Europe.
Monta is the CSMS most directly comparable to what runs behind Plugchoice, and the money is going into the grid and energy-management side, an area where it already positions itself heavily. That makes this a competitive signal to track rather than a distress event: a well-funded operator platform pushing into flexibility and new markets. For anyone running chargers across mixed backends, the takeaway is the usual one: keep the charger reachable over OCPP so a platform's roadmap, wherever it heads next, stays a choice rather than a lock-in.
