About the company
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.
