ADS-TEC Energy, a specialist in ultra-fast charging and battery-based energy storage solutions, has announced it will receive up to $50 million in growth capital.
The financing, structured as a senior secured convertible note due in 2028, will be disbursed in two tranches: $15 million immediately and $35 million upon the establishment of a controlled account.
The capital will support the company’s international expansion, particularly in Europe and North America, and enable the transformation towards a vertically integrated service model.
This new approach includes ultra-fast charging infrastructure, energy trading, and digital advertising.
The company has already secured exclusive project rights at over 300 sites across Germany, with international rollout underway. Recurring revenue is expected to begin in late 2025, ramping up into 2026, driven by ADS-TEC’s direct operation of its assets.
“This funding validates our long-term vision,” said Thomas Speidel, CEO of ADS-TEC Energy. He added that the company intends to use the proceeds to expand its footprint and build a sustainable business model based on recurring income and long-term customer value.
ADS-TEC Energy has established itself as a provider of decentralised, high-performance, battery-based platform solutions for B2B customers. Its portfolio includes proprietary hardware and software, service-level agreements (SLAs), and smart features—developed and produced in-house. These SLAs are designed to guarantee long-term infrastructure performance and stable revenue streams.
With this new capital, the company plans to manage the end-to-end project lifecycle, including financing, installation, commissioning, and long-term operation. The integrated solution is already being deployed in supermarkets, convenience stores, DIY retailers, and petrol stations.
“Previously, we supplied our proprietary ultra-fast charging technology to B2B customers such as oil and gas companies, retail chains, and fleet operators,” said Stefan Berndt-von Bülow, CFO of ADS-TEC Energy. “Our expanded model introduces the potential for a multi-year recurring revenue structure, improving financial visibility and resilience. We already have multiple international projects underway.”
Expected net proceeds of up to $47.2 million will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, debt refinancing, and potential acquisitions.
