“The main idea of our company, which helped us to take the first steps, is the desire to improve the situation of the infrastructure for electric vehicles in Lithuania and to make it easily accessible to everyone.
Over time, we have noticed that the number of electric cars on the streets of Lithuania is growing rapidly.
For this reason, we have decided to go beyond the sale of charging stations for electric vehicles and to focus on additional services as well.
These services allow us to create and manage a much wider EV charging network on a dedicated platform and make it easily accessible for both businesses and EV drivers living in apartment buildings”, says Karolis Kieras.
We are pleased to announce that we have raised as much as €100,000.
WeChange.group, an investment fund led by Pijus Makarevičius.
According to the founders of “Įkrautas”, Paulijus Gūžis and Karolis Kieras, the funds will be used for the company’s expansion and improvement of services not only in Lithuania, but also in other Baltic countries.
We plan to expand in foreign markets under the Charged UP brand.
According to Pauls Gūtis, the market for electric vehicles is not only growing in Lithuania, but also in Latvia and Estonia.
“Although Lithuania has the highest growth in the number of electric vehicles in the Baltic region, we see similar trends in Latvia and Estonia.
We strive not only to educate the public about EVs, but also to help solve problems by offering convenient solutions for both businesses and private customers.
We believe that this will help us to gain a foothold in the markets of these countries.
We are currently actively working with partners and looking for team reinforcements both in Latvia and Estonia,” emphasises Paulius Gūžys.
“According to the leaders of Įkrautas, their company’s main goal is to create charging options for electric cars that are hassle-free for people.
Today, Įkrautas offers several different services for the development of electric vehicle infrastructure, helping both business and private customers.
One of the most innovative is the service of renting charging stations for electric cars to residents of apartment buildings.
“We know that installing charging stations for electric vehicles in apartment car parks is often a rather complex process due to technical barriers such as increasing the power supply capacity.
To solve this problem, we are using a tailor-made platform that allows a much larger number of EVs to be charged without increasing the power input”, says Karolis Kieras.
Demand for charging stations for electric vehicles is also growing in the business sector.
A good example of this is the installation of EV charging stations in public and semi-public car parks at business and shopping centres, hotels, catering facilities and more.
This not only makes it easier for entrepreneurs to demonstrate their positive attitude towards changing transport trends, but also creates an additional source of income without having to make large investments.
As mentioned above, part of the investment will be used to develop the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the Baltic States and to improve services in Lithuania.
