GASGAS

What GASGAS does

GASGAS SRL is an Italian EV charging infrastructure operator headquartered in Milan, founded around 2020 as an innovative PMI (SME). The company operates as both a Charging Point Operator (CPO) and Charging Station Owner (CSO), owning and managing a network of 1,626+ charging points across 18 Italian regions, powered entirely by 100% renewable energy. Its asset base spans AC Quick stations (up to 22 kW) for long-dwell locations and DC Fast stations (up to 75 kW) for highway-adjacent and high-traffic corridors, plus a GreenCity product line for public and semi-public sites.

GASGAS runs a B2B2C model with two primary GTM motions: enterprise field sales to municipalities and commercial enterprises (shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, sports facilities, car dealerships), and direct-to-consumer access for EV drivers via the NextCharge mobile app. The company offers zero-cost installation and full managed services to municipalities and enterprises — covering all CAPEX and OPEX — in exchange for long-term operational control of the charging infrastructure. Revenue is transaction-based, generated through per-kWh charging fees, time-based session charges, and idle/overstay fees from EV drivers, with stated public-charging rates of €0.56-0.95/kWh in Italy.

In September 2022, GASGAS raised €1.5 million via equity crowdfunding on CrowdFundMe to fund expansion from 300+ to 1,000+ locations. In October 2023, the company was 100% acquired by E-Shore (capitalized by Italian Renewable Resources / IRR Fund managed by Soprarno SGR), merging with EnerMia to form UAU — a new independent Italian EV charging operator with a combined 5,000+ charging-point portfolio (1,000+ installed) targeting 10,000 points by 2030 and positioning among Italy's top independent CPOs.

Revenue model

1. EV Charging Services (Energy Sales): GASGAS generates revenue by operating charging stations and selling electricity to EV drivers. The company deploys charging infrastructure at its own cost for municipalities (zero cost to the municipality) and commercial partners, monetizing through per-kWh charging fees, time-based fees, and idle/overstay fees paid by drivers. Revenue is derived from the energy dispensed plus session duration charges, with pricing varying by charging speed (AC slow vs DC fast) and location type.
2. B2B Charging Infrastructure Solutions: GASGAS provides end-to-end charging infrastructure services to municipalities and enterprises, including design, installation, management, and maintenance. Revenue comes from the ongoing operation of the charging network at partner sites, with the company bearing upfront capital expenditure in exchange for long-term operational control and charging revenue.
3. Crowdfunding / Equity Raise: GASGAS raised €1.5 million through a crowdfunding campaign on CrowdFundMe to fund the expansion of its charging network from 300+ to 1000+ locations.

Direct peers

• Atlante: Italy/Europe-based CPO scaling a high-power and fast-charging network, with similar public-access charging station operations and backing from an energy transition sponsor.
• Fastned: European fast-charging network operator building publicly accessible stations at high-traffic locations; comparable CPO-as-asset-operator model with strong European footprint.
• Be Charge: Italian CPO operating public EV charging stations nationwide; directly comparable business model of deploying and operating charging infrastructure for enterprise and public access in Italy.
• Allego: European public CPO operating thousands of charging points across multiple countries; comparable network asset model and growing footprint in Italy and Southern Europe.

• Tesla Supercharger: Proprietary large-scale charging network with growing Italian presence; competes for EV-driver charging sessions and increasingly opens to non-Tesla vehicles in Europe.
• A2A E-Mobility: Diversified Italian multi-utility with growing public EV charging network; competes for the same municipal concessions and enterprise sites under a stronger balance sheet.

Regional players

• Duferco Energia: Italian energy group active in power generation, supply, and emerging EV charging services; comparable geography (Italy) and emerging participation in EV infrastructure adjacent to GASGAS's customer base.
