M&A advisory for electric vehicles companies
EV M&A has picked up materially in the wake of the SPAC reset. Several listed EV and charging companies have been taken private, restructured or absorbed into larger industrial groups, while strategic acquirers in OEM, energy and battery have stayed active in component, software and infrastructure deals. Distressed and carve-out processes now sit alongside more conventional strategic M&A.
The acquirer universe for EV businesses is wider than in most mobility categories. OEM corporate development (Toyota, VW, GM, Ford, Stellantis, Hyundai, BMW) and tier-1 suppliers (Bosch, Continental, Aptiv, ZF, Magna, Forvia) remain the core strategic buyers, joined by charging network strategics (ChargePoint, EVgo, Blink) and PE platforms active in industrial and clean technology. Flow has direct access to these corporate development teams and runs outreach to buyers that have actually closed component, software or infrastructure deals in EV.
Flow team has relevant sector experience and has worked with EV companies across passenger and commercial vehicles, battery cell and pack technology, charging infrastructure, powertrain and drivetrain components, and EV fleet operators.
