Electra\u2019s app analyzes a client\u2019s vehicle, the availability and power of nearby charging stations and recommends the best charging options. The company has deployed nearly 1,000 charging points and has a presence in France, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aur\u00e9lien de Meaux, co-founder and CEO of Electra, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>&#8220;The transition to electric mobility is a key aspect of the energy transition, with the transportation sector being the largest CO2 emitter in France. We are creating a network that is very easy to use, making the transition to electric vehicles desirable and not a constraint.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The funding round was led by the Dutch pension fund service provider, PGGM with participation from Bpifrance, through its Large Venture fund, and previous investors including Eurazeo, RIVE Private Investment, the SNCF group, and Serena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dennis van Alphen, Head of Infrastructure Investments at PGGM, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cPGGM Infrastructure Fund fully supports Electra&#8217;s ambition to become a pan-European player in the market of (ultra)fast charging facilities for EVs.
