Funding for towns and businesses

You can get your charging station with funding. We prepare the documents.

Almost every European country supports cycling infrastructure and charging points – through EU funds, national programmes, regions and cities. Tell us where you are planning the station and we will help you find a suitable programme and prepare the application.

How we help

You decide, leave the paperwork to us

Funding only makes sense if it doesn't take more time than it saves. That's why we take on the preparation.

  1. Tell us about your plan

    Fill in a short form: where you want the station, who will apply and when you want to build it.

  2. We check what applies to you

    We compare open and upcoming calls in your country and region with your type of applicant and recommend the best route.

  3. We prepare the documents

    Technical description, budget, proposed location and visualisation. We help with the application and, once approved, deliver and install the station.
