Charge with Renewable Energy

⚡ Electra is committed to 100% electric, 100% renewable mobility

At Electra, we’re working toward low-carbon mobility. The energy transition is at the heart of our DNA. That’s why we’re committed to providing our customers with 100% renewable energy through our charging station network.

Switching to an electric vehicle helps reduce CO₂ emissions from mobility and contributes to the energy transition. Driving an EV instead of a combustion vehicle is already a great way to cut your carbon footprint.

To help our customers go even further, Electra has chosen to supply 100% renewable electricity, sourced from solar, wind, or hydro power.

Thanks to the Guarantee of Origin (GO) system, we ensure that for every kWh of electricity we sell to our customers, one kWh of renewable energy is produced and injected into the European power grid, in the countries where Electra operates.

With Electra’s charging offer, you power your vehicle with 100% renewable energy. Together, we’re building a more sustainable future for mobility!

Did you know #1?

100% renewable energy, certified and traceable

At Electra, every kWh you consume is guaranteed 100% renewable, thanks to the official Guarantee of Origin (GO) system. It’s the only public mechanism recognized across Europe to ensure traceability of renewable electricity.

Each time a kWh of renewable energy is produced (solar, hydro, wind…), a GO certificate is issued. It details the electricity’s origin: technology used, location and date of production, and other specifications.

Electra’s commitment: for every kWh delivered to our customers, one kWh of renewable energy is injected into the European grid.

It’s our way of actively supporting more sustainable energy production—here and now, in the countries where we operate.

CO₂ emissions avoided

In 2024, thanks to the renewable electricity supplied by Electra to its customers, 27,500 tonnes of CO₂ were avoided across the entire value chain. That’s thousands of trips that, if made with combustion vehicles, would have contributed more to global warming.

The carbon impact of EVs depends on various factors throughout their lifecycle. Of course, there are emissions linked to vehicle and battery production. But usage-phase emissions play a key role.

So yes, producing an EV—and its battery—has an impact. But it’s in daily use that everything changes.

🔋 Zero tailpipe emissions: no more toxic gases or fine particles from exhaust—key to cleaning up urban air!

⚡ Renewable charging = reduced carbon footprint: driving with 100% renewable electricity, as offered by Electra, maximizes CO₂ savings [1].

Less pollution, fewer emissions, for more sustainable mobility.

At Electra, we don’t just accelerate charging. We accelerate the transition.

What is renewable energy and how is it produced?

Unlike fossil fuels, which emit large amounts of greenhouse gases and have limited reserves, renewable energy sources are more sustainable, less polluting, and virtually inexhaustible on a human scale. They offer a concrete solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build a more responsible energy future.

There are several technologies for producing “renewable” energy:

• 🌊Hydropower: France’s second-largest electricity source. Dams convert water flow and movement into electricity via turbines.

• ☀️Solar: The sun’s light and heat are powerful energy sources. Photovoltaic panels and solar thermal plants capture rays to generate electricity.

• 🌬Wind: Wind’s kinetic energy turns turbine blades, which then drive generators—similar to hydropower.

• 🌱Biomass: Derived from plant or animal matter, biomass is organic energy. Its combustion produces heat, which can generate electricity or biogas.
