🏠 What do we do ?

Born in 2021 from the desire to make cities less polluted and less noisy, Electra is helping to shift usage towards electric mobility by tackling the main obstacle of recharging. Electra is constantly innovating to facilitate the recharging of electric vehicles with a network of fast recharging hubs (15 to 30 minutes maximum) and a user experience simplified to the maximum.

Based in Paris, Lyon, Brussels, Milan, Zurich, Vienna, Madrid and Munich Electra's teams aim to deploy a network of 14,500 charging points by 2030; proud to participate in the energy transition in France and Europe. For cities without noise and pollution!

In 3 years we have :

• Provided more than 1000 fast charging points
• Secured enough stations to make Electra a market leader
• Opened several offices in France and Europe
• Assembled a team of over 190 talented people... and that's just the beginning
• Joined the French Tech Next 40
