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, Bordeaux, 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 3 years, we have:

• Deployed 300 stations and over 1700 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.
