It earns revenue by selling electricity on a pay-per-use basis and via a Gold Membership for discounted charging; power is sourced from renewables. Stations feature up to 400 kW ultra-rapid DC chargers and can add about 300 km of range in 15 minutes, with charging started via the app, contactless cards, or Autocharge. The network is vertically integrated with distinctive yellow arches and solar roofs, differentiating itself by prime locations, broad European reach, renewable energy emphasis, and a seamless user experience while aiming to accelerate electric mobility toward profitability.
