UP&CHARGE: induction charging station for electric vehicles. Our cable-free charging station costs up to 4x less to install, saves 6-30% energy per charge, and eliminates the need for messy, bulky cables that have to be replaced frequently. We are targeting the largest B2B fleets in France (local authorities & companies). We're looking for manufacturers, rental companies, B2B and B2G fleets with whom to do POCs over 2024. How it all started? Former engineer Guy Flaquiere, who created electric scooters 20 years ago, visited his doctor Gil Chicheportiche. He told him about a project he was developing: a patented electric vehicle charging demonstrator he was creating to recharge his recently purchased electric vehicle. The doctor saw the project's potential, became director and identified other patients motivated to join the project. Up&Charge was born! Now UP&CHARGE is an interdisciplinary multigenerational team with 50% of the team above 55 years old and the rest under 30.
