Milence is integrating its public charging parks for electric trucks into the B2B platform Depotcharge. As a result, fleet operators will be able to use both Milence’s public charging stations and private depot charging stations offered through Depotcharge. Charging sessions at Milence locations will be included in the existing billing for Depotcharge users.
Milence was founded in 2022 as a joint venture between Daimler Truck, Traton Group (Volkswagen), and Volvo Group. The company operates one of the largest MCS network (Megawatt Charging System) networks and is active in eight countries, primarily in Northern Europe, with additional locations in Northern Italy, parts of Spain, and the United Kingdom.
In May 2026, Milence received financing of over 120 million euros to expand its European network, which at that time consisted of 34 charging parks. Another 16 locations were under development at that time, with a total of 90 charging parks planned to be fully operational by the end of 2028.
The Munich-based company Depotcharge operates a B2B marketplace for charging electric trucks, allowing private depot operators to make their charging infrastructure available to other fleets. Depot operators decide for themselves which users they offer their charging stations to, at what times and at what rates, while fleet operators can monitor availability in real time. The cost to use private charging facilities is typically between 0.25 and 0.39 euros per kilowatt hour (kWh). Individual agreements between operators and fleets are also possible.
Germany will be the first market for integrating the Milence network into Depotcharge. In the long term, fleet operators are expected to be able to use public and private charging stations across Europe through a single platform, with all charging transactions settled via one unified invoice. According to the participating companies, the increasing availability of charging stations will also simplify route planning and operational decisions in electric truck transportation.
