Stian Bjørhei
Group CEO – Group Support FunctionsResponsible for building Elaway to become the largest car charging operator in Europe, for housing communities. I live in Kolbotn where I spend a lot time refurbishing, upgrading or doing something with our house. I'm into running, cross country skiing, and detailing of cars. Once or twice a week I maintain my trombone skills.
Background
It started with writing lines of code after graduating, and since then I have slowly but surely scratched myself in the direction of more business-related roles. I am therefore incredibly proud, and not least humble, of being allowed to lead the entire Elaway on the way to the top 🏔️

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 scale-up founded in hydropower. After five years in operation, we've proudly built 1,400 charging facilities, serving over 140,000 parking spaces across our four markets. In 2022, we expanded our footprint to Sweden and Germany, drawing on our experience to make EVs more accessible throughout Europe. In 2024, we have added Denmark as our fourth market.
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.
