Urban fast-charging, powered locally by the sun.

Electrification is hitting a physical wall: charging infrastructure can't keep pace with the 1.9 million EVs expected by 2030, and new grid connections take 3–5 years. GOase builds urban fast-charging ecosystems on “Suncharging”: 150kW+ chargers, roughly 3,000m² of solar panels and local battery storage, run by an AI-driven energy system that maximises self-generated power so locations like supermarkets can electrify without heavy grid reinforcement.

How it works

GOase builds urban fast-charging ecosystems on “Suncharging”: combining 150kW+ superfast chargers, roughly 3,000m² of solar panels and local battery storage to bypass grid congestion. An AI-driven energy system maximises self-generated power, so locations like supermarkets can electrify without heavy grid reinforcement.

From passive parking spot to active energy hub. GOase decouples fast-charging from grid dependency by pairing decentralised generation and storage with everyday consumer behaviour, aiming to put a fast charger within 20 minutes of 12 million people.

Huddles collaboration

Huddles has worked closely with GOase since 2022: on the cap table, in the room.

Why we backed them

The switch to electric driving hits a physical wall: charging infrastructure can't keep pace with the 1.9 million EVs expected by 2030. Cities lack fast chargers, while new grid connections take 3–5 years, blocking electrification of high-traffic locations.

How Huddles engaged

We co-build from the inside: backing GOase through the pre-seed fund, with hands-on studio support on strategy, hiring and go-to-market.

Where they stand

After closing its pre-seed round, GOase validated the model with its first operational charging plaza. In 2026 it raised €3M for accelerated infrastructure rollout and expanded partnerships, including with the BOM.

We validated phase one together, and we dare to take on phase two because Huddles gave us more than capital. They gave us the network and the calm to think big. People before market, you feel it in every conversation.
