Paris-headquartered fast charging-focused charge point operator (CPO) Electra has successfully secured new financing of €75mn ($81mn) in the form of a green loan, according to the firm’s CEO Aurelien de Meux.
The lending will come from a consortium of four banks: France’s Societe Generale, Credit Agricole and Groupe BPCE, and the Netherlands’ ABN Amro.
“This funding will empower us to expand our network of EV charging stations across Belgium,” says de Meaux.
