About us

Green freedom.

Vireno gathers fuelling and charging in one place and makes it cheaper at our partners. What we earn beyond running the company goes into building new charging.

Why Vireno?

Vir…

From the Latin viridis — green. The direction we build towards.

…eno

An open ending that rings free — freedom and forward motion.

The freedom to fuel and charge cheaper, and to choose where and how you drive — without being locked in. The green part is our job, not yours.

The team behind it

Founder

The platform is developed and built by iBuildIT.

Groundwork for a charging site at dusk: a cast concrete slab with embedded bolts, an open trench with orange cable conduits, and a single finished charging post lit up at the far end.
The ground rule

The numbers have to add up

Everything we want to build — charging hubs, solar, V2G — costs money before it earns money. So we have a simple rule: we invest in it when the business carries it, not before.

Two phases
Phase 1 — the core business

The fuel business and the subscriptions. What is meant to carry the company.

Phase 2 — the transition

Charging infrastructure, micro-generation and green start-ups — financed by phase 1.

Phase 2 is direction, not a promise. We show the direction — and then actual kronor, when there are kronor to show.

We are building towards the 2030 goals

Sweden has decided that emissions from domestic transport must fall by at least 70 percent by 2030 compared with 2010. According to Sweden's environmental objectives, today's policy instruments are not enough to get there. We want to be part of the solution.

Sources: Sweden's environmental objectives (the interim target for domestic transport) and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

We build all security and data handling to the ISO 27001 standard – the goal is for Vireno to be certified.

How the electricity business will make moneyA thin headroom per kilowatt-hour — with flexibility and infrastructure on top.

The fuel business carries itself today. On electricity there is headroom per kilowatt-hour at connected stations, but it is thin — squeezed public charging, a volatile electricity price and expensive cars. Most of it goes to the customer, too. That is why the electricity side rests on flexibility and infrastructure rather than on what each kilowatt-hour yields.

V2G and grid services

A fleet of parked electric cars is a virtual power plant. When the car stands still, the battery can sell flexibility back to the grid. Vireno aggregates and takes a share — the battery becomes an asset instead of only a cost.

Smart charging

Charge when the electricity price is low, avoid the expensive hours. Vireno optimises and the customer saves — the value lies in the saving, not in the price per kilowatt-hour.

Solar and micro-generation

The kilowatt-hour with the lowest cost is the one you generate yourself. We want to finance, install and operate solar generation at selected sites and share the revenue with the property or fleet owner.

Our own sites

In the right places we step in as charging operator with charging, solar and battery combined. Infrastructure we own a piece of, not just connect an app to.

Honest risks
  • V2G is early — hardware, OEM support and battery warranties are not yet solved.
  • Infrastructure is capital-heavy and takes time to pay back.
  • Revenue from grid services depends on a market we do not control ourselves.
Green start-upsA small, deliberate share of the profit.

We want to direct part of the profit as venture capital to newly started companies with innovative technology in green mobility and energy — charging technology, energy storage, micro-generation and smart electricity control.

Direction, not an investment promise. Share and selection are set only once the core business shows a profit to distribute.
