It's all about people
Well, hello there!
We are Elaway. A young and hungry tech scale-up with Norwegian roots. Last year, we expanded to Sweden and Germany ready to accelerate the green transition in Europe – and we have big plans ahead!
As you might know, Norway loves electric vehicles. Almost 80% of all new cars sold in 2022 were electric, and the trend is rising fast. The country has been the perfect playground for us while experimenting with a platform to enable the initiation and construction of charging facilities. Over seventy thousand parking spots have access to an EV charging point through Elaway and our service. But that's just the beginning. The whole world needs to run on electric energy, and we are going to do our part by making charging facilities available.
Our values
In a fast-changing world where no one knows what tomorrow brings, we dream big and aim high.
We have the courage to set our ideas into life and are bold in our choices of what to do – and what not to do.
Regardless of speed, trial, and error, we are accountable all the way through every move we make.
We put our hearts into what we do, and are driven by enthusiasm and passion.
We are Elaway, and this is our heartbeat.

About Elaway
Norway has become a go-to place for learning about electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, and at the heart of it all is Elaway, a young tech company founded in hydropower. After three years in operation, we've proudly built 1,100 charging facilities, serving over 75,000 parking spaces across Norway. In 2022, we expanded our footprint to Sweden and Germany, drawing on our experience to make EVs more accessible throughout Europe.
Elaway is a rapidly growing player in a fast-moving industry. Our goal is straightforward: to speed up the transition to EVs as part of the solution to the climate crisis. We're backed by three solid partners: Hafslund and Eviny, who bring over a century of electrification experience, and SUSI Partners, where we're part of the SUSI Energy Transition Fund. After two years of learning in the world's most influential EV market, we're now building a charging platform to power up European EVs with electricity.
