What Do We Do?
The shift to electric mobility is happening. Electra is accelerating it. Transportation is one of Europe's biggest sources of carbon emissions. Since 2021, Electra exists to make charging so simple that electric vehicles become the obvious choice for everyone.
Your Missions
At Electra, we are building Italy’s most reliable and expansive fast‑charging network, and that starts by securing the right locations, from shopping centers and supermarkets to public land, greenfields and private car parks.
