Renault Group takes a new step in its electrification strategy by integrating electric charging solutions directly into its commercial operations, under the responsibility of Fabrice Cambolive, Chief Growth Officer of Renault Group. This decision aims to streamline the customer experience for electric vehicle drivers and improve its management within the Group by bringing together its various components.
Previously developed by Mobilize Beyond Automotive, energy services enable drivers of electric vehicles to charge on site (at home, at the office) or on the road. These solutions enhance customer experience for electric vehicle drivers and make vehicle use more affordable by reducing charging costs, for example through the commercial offer of bi-directional charging (V2G).
Electric charging services have already delivered tangible results:
- Thanks to Charge Pass, Renault Group drivers can access more than one million charging points across Europe at preferential rates. The service currently has nearly 90,000 users in Europe.
- The Mobilize Fast Charge network of ultra-fast charging stations includes more than 60 installations in France, with the ambition to reach nearly 100 stations by the end of 2026, and over 100 in Italy (via the Free to X network).
- The first commercial bi-directional charging (V2G) offer for private customers was launched in France in 2024, positioning Renault Group as a pioneer of this technology. The first car-sharing fleet operated with V2G technology was launched in the Netherlands in 2025.
The Mobilize brand has been created in 2021 to allow Renault Group, through the Mobilize Beyond Automotive entity, to diversify itself by addressing opportunities beyond automotive manufacturing. It fulfilled its role as an incubator and innovation driver by strengthening the Group's expertise in new areas, identifying and developing high-potential opportunities, and discontinuing less relevant paths.
Some activities developed by Mobilize Beyond Automotive are discontinued, either because they have limited profitability prospects or because they do not directly serve the Group's strategic priorities. The electric quadricycle Duo and Zity's car-sharing service in Milan are stopped. Zity's operations in Madrid will be phased out from next year.
Mobilize Beyond Automotive is no longer a standalone entity. The commercial use of the Mobilize brand continues for Mobilize Financial Services and will be assessed, for other offers, over the coming months.
