Qwello runs a pan-European public EV charging network focused on urban areas in countries like Germany, the UK, France, and the Netherlands. Users locate, reserve, and pay for pay-per-use charging through a proprietary mobile app, with ad-hoc credit card payments supported at the charger where available. The system emphasizes AFIR-compliant hardware and payment flows, offering a subscription-free experience powered entirely by the app. The goal is to build a wide, reliable urban charging network across Europe that makes it easy for drivers to find, reserve, and pay for charging on demand, funded to accelerate expansion.

What believers are saying

  • €65M debt finances Park & Charge acquisition and European expansion.
  • €50M from Tiger Infrastructure accelerates network growth across eight countries.
  • 99.9% availability via remote monitoring supports reliable urban charging.

What critics are saying

  • €115M debt burdens cash flow with rising European interest rates.
  • Ionity and Fastned ultra-fast networks starve Qwello's urban AC stations.
  • AFIR mandates force costly ISO 15118 integration within six months.

What makes Qwello unique

  • Qwello's AC chargers feature integrated cables and occupancy sensors for user-friendliness.
  • Proprietary app enables station reservation and ad-hoc payments without authentication.
  • Development and manufacturing occur entirely in Germany for quality control.
