OUR STORY
Social Charging was born from the experience of two electric drivers who wanted to solve a serious problem in the day-to-day life of many electric drivers: charging points occupied by fully charged vehicles.
Our innovation: to make it very easy for EV-drivers to get in contact with each other and to connect them with smart systems providing them with relevant and real-time information.
We now work with companies, municipalities and of course our users to stimulate responsible electric driving and help to lower the total emissions.
