What We Do

Founded in 2021 with the ambition to make cities cleaner and quieter, Electra is accelerating the shift to electric mobility by tackling the main barrier: charging. We are building and operating a network of fast-charging stations (20 minutes on average) with a seamless and intuitive user experience.

Based in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Brussels, Madrid, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Amsterdam, our teams aim to deploy 15,000 fast-charging points by 2030, contributing to Europe’s energy transition.

In just 5 years, we have:

• Deployed +650 stations and 2,000+ fast-charging points

• Opened offices in several European countries

• Raised over €1B from leading investors and institutions

• Joined French Tech Next40 and won European Scale-up of the Year 2024

• Grown to a team of 250+ talented people… and we’re just getting started
