What do we do? 🏠

Born in 2021 from the desire to make cities less polluted and quieter, Electra is helping to shift usage towards electric mobility by tackling the main barrier: charging.

Electra is constantly innovating to make electric vehicle charging easier, with a network of fast charging stations (20 minutes on average) and a maximally simplified user experience.

Based in Paris, Lyon, Bordeau, Nantes, Brussels, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Amsterdam, Electra's teams aim to deploy a network of 15,000 fast charging points by 2030, proud to contribute to the energy transition in Europe.

In 4 years, we have:

• Deployed 400 stations and over 2000 fast-charging points

• Secured thousands of stations to establish Electra as a leader in the European market

• Opened several offices in France and Europe

• Raised over €750 million in equity and debt financing from renowned investors and institutions

• Joined the French Tech Next 40 and won the European Scale-up of the Year 2024 award

• Assembled a team of over 240 talents… and this is just the beginning !
