WHAT MAKES US AWESOME

We are creating an entire ecosystem functioning as a technological backbone for the transportation industry. Each location will have solar energy and intelligent energy storage, modern coffee-shops and eco-friendly lounges. Everything will be smart integrated, daring simple and easy to use.
OUR MISSION
Making long-distance driving possible, with any electric vehicle
WHY CHARGING STATIONS
The transportation industry is one of the largest polluters. In Europe alone, it contributes 27% to total carbon emissions. To achieve full decarbonization, a fleet of full electric vehicles is needed by 2050. The market share of full electric vehicles is still low in many European countries and charging infrastructure is considered the main reason for this.
A revolution is underway in transportation with a variety of electric vehicles rapidly coming to market. We will soon be able to travel 500-600km on one charging. To allow such a development, a powerful charging network is required.
We build social value
“We believe in a future where sustainable transportation will contribute to the quality of the air we breathe. We have the technology, we bring in the innovation and the courage to shape a better future. With WATTO we are developing the fastest electric charging network but while doing so, we are building social value for the entire community.”

EGV – THE WHY OF OUR INVESTMENT
“What WATTO brings new is a full-hearted concept: they are building and operating ultra-fast charging stations placed at the intersection of the power grid with high-intensity traffic routes. We bought into WATTO’s unapologetic approach and their courage to compete with giants for a share of the future. We made a small bet today and are ready to double down when the time comes. We believe that WATTO has the potential to turn into a unicorn. A fully electric one, not a hybrid”
