ChargeEuropa

ChargeEuropa is building scalable and sustainable electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across Central and Eastern Europe with a unique, cost-efficient approach. A key innovation in ChargeEuropa’s product is the integration of advertising into its charging stations. Each charger is equipped with screens that are visible to both foot traffic and drivers. These double-sided totems allow for automated, data-driven ad placements, creating a steady revenue stream that makes the chargers financially viable, even in regions with low EV adoption. By developing and owning the EV charging technology in-house, ChargeEuropa avoids the typical markup that other Charge Point Operators (CPOs) face when purchasing chargers from manufacturers. This vertical integration enables ChargeEuropa to build charging networks at a significantly lower cost, positioning the company to scale rapidly and efficiently.

ChargeEuropa is playing a critical role in supporting the global transition to electric vehicles by building accessible and efficient charging networks, particularly in economically disadvantaged regions. By focusing on underserved areas, the company not only promotes cleaner transportation but also helps bridge the infrastructure gap, ensuring that sustainable mobility solutions are available to all communities, regardless of their economic status.
