About us

Smart charging, designed for real-world infrastructure. 

Etrel is a European provider of AC charging solutions supporting the transition to clean, fossil-free mobility across public, workplace, and private charging networks. 

For nearly two decades, we have been designing and manufacturing charging infrastructure that combines robust hardware, intuitive interaction, and future-ready connectivity. Our solutions are built to work reliably in the field and to integrate seamlessly with the evolving energy grid. 

Today, Etrel charging stations power everyday journeys across cities, fleets, workplaces, and private networks throughout Europe. 

Built for operators. Designed for people. 

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure must serve both users and operators.

Drivers expect a simple, intuitive experience.
 Infrastructure operators expect uptime, durability, and long lifecycle performance.

Our solutions are designed with both in mind, combining quality engineering, thoughtful product design, and system compatibility to support reliable operation over time.

We believe trust in e-mobility is built not through promises, but through consistent performance in real-world conditions.

18 years of continuous development 

Founded in 2007, Etrel is among the longest-established manufacturers in the EV charging industry. 
Over 18 years, our teams have developed multiple generations of charging products deployed across diverse European markets, from public charging networks and municipal infrastructure to fleet depots and workplace environments. 

This experience enables us to design solutions that address real operational challenges and evolving regulatory and grid requirements.

In 2025, Etrel entered a new phase of development under the ownership of KD Group, a Slovenian financial and investment group with more than 20 years of experience supporting companies across technology-driven industries. 
KD Group’s investment provides financial stability and strategic backing for continued investment in product development, operational excellence, and long-term partnerships across the European e-mobility ecosystem.

We care

Not a slogan. A design principle. 
It is how we design, build, and support our charging infrastructure. 

From accessibility and durability to lifecycle thinking and partner support, the decisions behind our products are guided by long-term use in real environments, not short-term convenience.  

Designed with people in mind

Charging infrastructure should work for a wider range of users. 

That’s why our products consider accessibility standards such as PAS 1899 and EN 301 549, supporting more inclusive use across public and workplace environments. 

From screen angle to socket positioning and interaction design, small physical details help make charging easier and more usable for people with different abilities.
