Bump

What Bump does

Bump is a French EV charging operator and e-mobility service provider founded in 2020 and headquartered in Paris (130 rue de Lourmel, 75015 Paris). The company targets three primary enterprise segments — professional fleet operators, transport and logistics companies, and commercial property owners — alongside individual EV drivers. Its customer base comprises 1,000+ enterprise clients and 30,000+ individual users, with named logos spanning DHL, Renault, Enedis, Socotec, Avis France, Coopérative U (Super U), Segro, Jungheinrich, DAE, and Cerp. The company is led by co-founders François Oudot (CEO) and François Paradis (COO), with Sébastien de Limon as non-executive chairman, and is backed by Goodwater Capital.

Bump's core technology stack combines a mobile application (Bump Charge, available on iOS and Android), the Bump Pass multi-service RFID badge, a web-based fleet management portal, and remote supervision/maintenance capabilities supporting 20 different charging station models from manufacturers including Circontrol, EVBox, Autel, Legrand, ABB, and Schneider. The Bump Pass aggregates access to 350,000+ charging points across Europe, French motorway tolls (4,300+ lanes, 340+ free-flow), parking (500+ facilities), and car wash services (450+ stations). Since 2021, Bump has run a strategic partnership with EVBox, deploying ~200 EVBox Troniq Modular fast-charging stations by January 2026 (target: 25,000 points by 2030), and in early 2026 integrated Chargetrip's routing API into the mobile app.

The business model layers multiple revenue streams: per-session charging transaction fees and roaming tariffs (0% commission on 35% of public charging points), hardware sales and installation of AC 7.4-22kW and DC up to 150kW charging stations, the Bump Pass subscription at €12 per badge, managed fleet services including supervision and maintenance, and depot/fleet charging solutions for logistics operators. Operational performance is a key selling point: 98.9% charging availability vs 75% national average (Girève), 99.4% hardware availability in the EVBox network, maintenance costs reportedly up to 2x lower than competitors, and 90% of support incidents resolved within 24 hours. The company holds ISO 27001, GDPR, and Ecovadis certifications, and has been recognized through French Tech 120 and Impact 40-120.
