Easelink is a high-tech company headquartered in Graz, Austria, specializing in Matrix Charging®, an automated conductive charging solution for electric vehicles (EVs) that eliminates manual cable handling.[1][2][4][6] It serves EV owners, fleets, taxis, autonomous shuttles, and infrastructure providers by solving the inconvenience of plugging in cables, enabling seamless vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, and optimizing energy management for sustainable mobility.[1][2][4][5] With 40 employees, sites in Austria and China, over 80 patents, and $23.1M raised (including a recent €11.5M round in February 2025), Easelink demonstrates strong growth momentum through partnerships with global OEMs, standardization efforts (e.g., CharIn, IEC, ISO), and validation in major pilots.[1][2][4][6]
Easelink was founded in 2016 by Hermann Stockinger, an entrepreneur with a master's in Energy and Environmental Engineering and Business Economics, gained from studies in Austria, England, and Mexico.[1][2] Stockinger began his career at BMW Group Munich before pivoting to e-mobility, driven by a vision to scale sustainable charging amid growing EV battery ranges (now over 300 km average), reducing the need for frequent manual connections.[1] Early traction came from developing Matrix Charging®—a no-touch, high-efficiency system with minimal installation space—and securing patents, trademarks, and backing from investors like EnBW New Ventures, evolving into a leader in automated charging standards.[1][4]
Easelink rides the EV adoption wave, where rising battery ranges and fleet electrification demand automated, cable-free charging to enable mass-scale e-mobility, V2G, and smart grids.[1][3][5][6] Timing aligns with regulatory pushes for sustainability, renewable energy integration, and autonomous vehicles, positioning Matrix Charging® as the benchmark for interoperable standards amid market forces like intralogistics growth and urban decarbonization.[2][3][4] By influencing OEM series integration and pilots, Easelink accelerates the energy-mobility nexus, transforming EVs into grid assets and fostering a sustainable ecosystem with partners like EnBW New Ventures.[1][4]
Easelink is primed to dominate automated EV charging with its €11.5M funding fueling industrialization and standardization efforts, including IAA Mobility 2025 showcases.[4][6] Trends like V2G expansion, autonomous fleets, and EU green mandates will propel growth, potentially evolving its influence toward global OEM adoption and energy system leadership. As the cable-handling pain fades, Easelink's Matrix Charging® cements its role in charging the world sustainably.[3][6]
